Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to identify the factors
influencing voluntary retention behavior of first and second
terra Air Force enlisted members. Further, how those factors
tended to differ across term of service and occupational group
was examined. Data were extracted from the 1985 DOD Survey
of Officer and Enlisted Personnel. Explanatory variables were
grouped into tenure, demographic, cognitive, and economic
categories.
Logit models were estimated for each term of service and
occupational sub group. The results show that the factors
affecting retention do tend to differ across term and
occupation. Some, like overall satisfaction, were significant
to everyone, while others, such as SRB, changed from one group
to the next.
Recommendations regarding future policy implications were
made along with several recommendations for future research.
