Quality of Life in the U.S. Marine Corps: Executive Summary.

Abstract

A comprehensive assessment of Quality of Life (QOL) in the Marine Corps was conducted using perceptual data collected with a questionnaire designed for this effort and objective data from extant HQMC data files. The assessment utilized a life domain framework, in which were included the domains of residence, neighborhood, leisure and recreation, health, friends and friendships, marriage/intimate relationship, relations with children, relations with other relatives, income/standard of living, job, and self. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to specify the relationships among life domains, global QOL, and organizational outcomes such as performance, retention, and personal readiness. Major findings and conclusions are summarized, and recommendations for improving QOL in the Marine Corps are presented.
