Motivation Factors of Construction Personnel in a United States Naval Construction Battalion Unit.

Abstract

Department of Defense spending reductions make it vital that the uniformed services get the most productivity of all personnel, In addition to the primary mission of contingency construction support, the construction personnel of the United States Navy perform crucial construction and repair services to support the Navy's infrastructure. The motivation of these skilled craftsmen is critical to their productivity. This thesis attempts to determine the factors that motivate these craftsmen and to offer some recommendations to their leaders. Data was collected through eighteen in-depth field interviews with Seabees from a Construction Battalion Unit. Interview results were analyzed for general content and trends, conclusions and recommendations were related to the literature review of motivation theories.
