Abstract
This thesis investigates the factors influencing the
occupational decisions of junior Army officers in the
combat/ combat support/ and combat service support
occupational groups.
Cross tabulation/ multiple regression/ and discriminant
analysis are utilized to examine the potential motivational
factors involved in making career decisions. Comparisons of
military and civilian job attributes and satisfaction with
military life are found to be important variables affecting
the career decisions of junior officers. This study should
provide personnel managers and policy makers with a better
understanding of those factors which influence the career
decisions of junior officers within and among occupational
groups.
