Most military researchers who have attempted to measure organizational commitment have done so on an ad hoc basis, preferring to invent new items and scales rather than incorporate well-established measures. The purpose of this special issue is to reverse this trend by bringing military organizational commitment research into the scientific mainstream and to do so in ways that will prove useful to military services while advancing organizational commitment theory and knowledge. This special issue grew out of a symposium conducted at the 1998 American Psychological Association Convention that arose when many in the field recognized the practical importance of measuring organizational commitment while maintaining a healthy concern for ensuring that this measurement was well-grounded in organizational commitment theory. Taken together, the articles in this issue demonstrate the concepts of affective and continuance commitment and their underlying measures by using them in different military samples and under a variety operational conditions.

Trust continues to be a leading concept in organizational commitment. Milligan (2003) conducted a survey looking at trust in the Air Force among junior officers. This study was conducted as a follow-up study to determine whether trust continues to be an issue in the Air Force. The purpose of this study is to measure the comparative strengths and weaknesses, as well as the significance, of leadership s ability to gain trust from its subordinates in order to reduce the numbers of officers leaving after their commitment. This research measures organizational commitment and trust in a random sample of 372 Air Force captains. All participants completed the following surveys: The Management Behavior Climate Assessment, Organizational Commitment Scales, Intent to Leave Scale, and a demographics survey. Findings of the research concluded with the following points, as trust is a growing factor in leadership and junior officers leaving the Air Force, there is a relationship between trust and commitment. There is also a strong relationship between commitment and intent of junior officers leaving the Air Force. Finally, trust was the primary variable in this study and it was found that with an increase of trust in leadership, there is a decrease of junior officers leaving the Air Force.

This study examines the 1978 DOD Survey of Officers and Enlisted Personnel for the determinants of organizational commitment for military physicians. The physicians studied were not in the initial period of obligation. Organizational commitment is measured in terms of the physician's intended years of service beyond his obligated service, XSRV. Different variables appear to be important in explaining the organizational commitment of physicians depending on whether or not they are serving in their initial period of obligation. The Uniformed Services Health Professsionals Special Pay Act of 1980 substantially amended the special pay entitlements of physicians in the armed forces. The study supports the argument for the amendments. Frequency analysis, multivariate regression, and discriminant analysis are utilized to examine potential factors involved in making career decisions. The civilian versus military job comparisons variables are found to be important factors affecting military physicians career decisions.

When Soldiers leave military service, the loss decreases the personnel available for operational missions. Consequently, a continued concern of the Army is to understand processes leading to Soldier retention and attrition. Given the large body of research showing that employees' organizational commitment is derived from their perceptions of the extent to which the employer is committed to and supportive of them, assistance with balancing the demands of work and family life is a promising intervention for improving Soldier experiences and increasing retention in the Army. This research examined the retention of junior Army officers as it relates to benefit use, social support perceptions, and control over work-family issues. Hypotheses were based on principles of social support and the need for personal control. Results provide partial support for the process by which benefits are construed as support, which increases affective commitment, and the process by which benefits increase personal control, which decreases negative work-family spillover. Interestingly, benefit use was positively related to increased control over the work-family interface and increased resource dependence, which is characterized by dependence on others for support and may be construed as surrendering some degree of control. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The question of how sufficient numbers of military health care providers can be maintained to meet an increasing demand on their services in the face of the all-volunteer service provides the focus for study. This thesis addresses the personnel retention issue through a model of organization commitment developed for a synthesis of research findings in related areas of organization psychology. The model is tested upon an existing pool of survey data drawn from the three military medical services. Discriminant analysis is employed to segregate the sample into degrees of commitment to determine the most successful predictors of retention and motivation. It was found that an individual's length of service and the perception of the command's concern for human resources were consistently more powerful predictors than the concern for salary, status, and educational opportunities. Profiles of the four categories of commitment are developed which provide insight into which individuals can more likely be retained in service. The profiles suggest areas in which organizations can move to improve upon retention and motivation. It is concluded that the concept of organization commitment discloses a broader range of effective policy choices than models presently available. (Author).

"The Army has assembled an archive of survey data for use in studies and analyses on practical issues pertinent to the career decisions of officers. This effort applied the analog approach for empirically deriving and validating measures in order to expand the value of the archive for longitudinal research on organizational commitment. Accordingly, an expert panel selected 13 questionnaire items that fit with the content domains of Meyer and Allen's (1991) affective commitment (AC) and continuance commitment (CC). It was expected that the average of responses to the items selected for a construct could serve as an analog scale for measuring the construct. To test this, the original Meyer and Allen items and the candidate analog items were administered to 404 Army officers. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that responses to the analog and original items defined dimensions representing AC and CC. Correlations of analog scale scores with rank and career intent were also similar to those obtained for the original scales. Use of the validated analog scales links findings from the Army archive to the wider research on organizational commitment and increases the certainty and applicability of these findings."--DTIC.
