Military Retirement Satisfaction And Adjustment: The Effects Of Planning, Having Transferable Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities, And Having Identified With, And Been Committed To, The Navy On A Sample Of Retired Naval Officers, Peter Edward Spiegel

We examined military retirement. We sought to determine if preretirement planning, having knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that are readily transferable, and being committed to, and/or identifying with, the Navy would affect the retirement satisfaction and adjustment of a retired naval officers sample. Results indicated that both planning and transferability influenced retirement satisfaction and adjustment, while organizational commitment and identification did not. Implications of our findings, as well as a brief overview of some general retirement issues are included.
