Career Intentions as a Function of Job Attitudes of USAF Personnel

摘要

Many factors affect career decisions of Air Force personnel. Those factors that cause a member to change careers are costly to the Air Force. The study addresses job attitudes, as measured by the USAF Organizational Assessment Package, and their relationship to career intent. The study concludes that personnel intending to separate from the service have less positive/more negative attitudes toward the job and officers planning to retire within the next 12 months have a less positive attitude once a retirement decision is made.
