Abstract
This thesis investigated the relationship between job satisfaction and gender by
examining factors considered to be determinants of job satisfaction among junior U.S.
Air Force officers. The data used in this research were from the 1985 DoD Survey of
Officers and Enlisted Personnel. Bivariate analysis, factor analysis and regression
analysis were performed to determine the effect of gender on those factors considered
to be determinants of job satisfaction. No difference in level of job satisfaction was
found between male and female officers, but differences were found in the variables
that explained job satisaction for male and female officers. An understanding of job
satisfaction and the relationship of gender to the factors that determine officers' job
satisfaction may give military policymakers and leaders greater opportunities to affect
job satisfaction and thereby affect job performance and career intention.
