Abstract
This thesis examines factors that affect the career
orientation of United States Navy Surface Warfare and
Submarine designated officers and federally employed civilian
engineers and scientists at the Naval Avionics Center.
Biodemographic, tenure, satisfaction, and expectations-related
variables were tested for correlation with intent to remain in
the organization for the period of service corresponding to
the derived definition of "career." The results were used to
construct models for each of the above sample groups and the
Logit regression procedure was used to measure the impact of
each retained variable on career intent. Data for the
military samples were taken from the 1985 POD Survey . Data
for the Naval Avionics Center sample were collected using a
survey designed and administered by the authors. The thesis
identifies different behavior patterns between the three
samples. Additionally the thesis provides insight as to the
relative and comparative impacts of the factors deemed
significant and their potential influence on retention policy.
