The Effects Of Deployments And Other Factors On Air Force Junior Officer Retention, Jarrett L. Weiblen
Theses and Dissertations
The Air Force is dedicated to supporting the Combatant Commander through the use of Individual Augmentees (IAs) to fulfill joint mission requirements. Previous studies have explored how deployments affect retention; however, there has not been a great deal of focus on how IA deployments affect retention for Junior Air Force Officers in the Logistics, Support, Operations, Acquisitions, and Special Investigations career groups.

The possibility of reduced retention is thus a concern for CE leadership. Based on past research, and the prior study conducted by Riddel (2010), a new model of turnover intentions was developed. The new model expands on Riddel's simplified model of turnover and attempts to focus on key factors that may help …
