Psychometric Evaluation of the Navy-wide Personnel Survey

Abstract

The Navy-wide Personnel Survey (NPS) is a major product of the Navy-Wide Survey Program (NWSP, formerly known as the Navy Personnel Survey System (NPSS)). Administered regularly by Navy Personnel Research, Studies, and Technology (NPRST) of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS), the NPS focuses on quality of work-life topics. This information provides valuable metrics to senior leadership and program managers that assist in the evaluation of Navy quality of work life, current personnel policies, and programs. The 2005 Navy-wide Personnel Survey (NPS) was administered to active duty officer and enlisted Sailors between March and June 2005. This report presents the results of the psychometric analyses of the survey data, including item and scale reliability. In addition, two new indices were developed: the Navy Climate Index (NCI) and Re-enlistment/Continuation Intention Index.
