Analyzing Personnel Rotation in the Navy

Article Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to analyze personnel rotation in the Navy. Although primarily a sea-going force, the Navy must periodically rotate personnel to shore duty. The effective administration of this policy promotes morale and reduces attrition. It also enables managers to control the distribution of personnel, so that programmed changes in force manning levels can be implemented gradually without disrupting individual career development. In order to accomplish this, however, Navy planners must understand the effect alterations in individual parameters will have on the system. A simplified mathematical model is developed and analyzed to help clarify these interrelationships. The results of this analysis are applied to answer some important questions concerning the present enlisted force. (Reprinted by Permission of Publisher.)

Analyzing personnel rotation in the Navy

Article Abstract:

Rotation of Navy personnel to sea-going and shore duties is analyzed from the standpoints of employee morale and retention benefits. Also discussed is the optimal administration of the rotational policy, such that individual career development is not adversely affected. A relatively simple mathematical model for administering the rotational policy indicates the effects of individual parameter changes and alterations on the system. The analysis and discussion extends to topics related to the enlisted force of the U.S. Navy.

An Econometric Study of Recruitment Marketing in the U.S. Navy

Article Abstract:

Since the abolishment of the mandatory draft, the United States Navy has actively recruited. An evaluation of the marketing strategies used in this process is the subject of the study. An econometric model of recruiting performance was developed. As the unemployment rate increases recruiting success increases. As civilian earnings increase recruiting success decreases. Personal selling is more important than advertising. Tables showing computational results are included.
