This research examines the current compensation policies of the Republic of Korea
Army with a view toward identifying and recommending the most appropriate compensation
policies for recruitment and retention of high quality officers.
The Republic of Korea Army is sustained largely by the loyalty and patriotism of
its members. However, several changes in the economic environment have tended to
make military service a less attractive career alternative for young men. Today, the
ROK Army faces several problems that are relative to inefficient manpower management.
Two separate surveys were utilized in an attempt to determine the attitudes of ROK
Army officers relative to compensation policies. The most significant finding of both
surveys is that certain changes in the compensation policies could have a positive influence
on the recruitment and retention of high quality officers. Specific policy changes
that are suggested by the surveys are improvement of pay compensation, focusing on
increasing initial pay of junior officers and a special allowance for typical military job
conditions, and improvement of current promotion and retirement systems for enhancing
job security.
