Unit "retention profiles" were developed using
Navy Human Resource Management Survey responses for
both high and lew retention units. Although the
"profiles" were found to be identical for both high
and lew retention units, comparative analysis of
Survey responses was found of value in assisting unit
Commanding Officers in developing retention management
strategies.
The data utilized consisted of 28,913 respondents
of the Navy Human Resource Management Survey during
the second guarter of fiscal year 1978. The
individual's stated career intent was regressed on the
survey dimensions, indices, and guestions to further
understand the dynamics of the retention decision.
Unit "retention profiles" were developed as a result
of stepwise discriminant analysis on the survey
guestions for both high and low retention units.
A detailed bibliography of employee job turnover
is included as an aid to future researchers.
