Navy-Wide Personnel Survey (NPS) 2000: Summary of Survey Results
Abstract
The 2000 Navy-wide Personnel Survey (NPS) was mailed October through December 2000 to a random sample of 20,000 active duty enlisted personnel and officers. Completed questionnaires were accepted through December 31, 2000. The NPS focuses on such topics as Sailor demographics, gender integration, training/education needs, leadership satisfaction, financial status, detailing, assignment, PERSTEMPO (i.e., work-related time away from home), job characteristics, job satisfaction, career development, availability of resources, and overall satisfaction with Navy life. This information is valuable to senior leadership and program managers in assessing Navy quality of service, and in the evaluation of current Navy personnel policy. The 2000 NPS was conducted under the sponsorship of the Chief of Naval Personnel within the Navy Personnel Survey System. The results of the survey were briefed to the Chief of Naval Personnel and his staff during April and May of 2001, and have subsequently been made available to various groups throughout the Navy and research community to assist in ongoing personnel policy review and research. Responses were weighted to allow generalization of results to the general Navy population. This report contains a narrative description of the results of the survey. In addition, this report provides analysis of the significance of the findings by offering group comparisons between major Navy groups (e.g., officers, enlisted, married, single, etc.) and where relevant to the general population.
