结论 | Army civilians exhibit a diverse array of career trajectories, and most entrants into the Army civilian workforce spend a relatively short amount of time there
Career patterns are related to a variety of individual and job characteristics

摘要 | What does the career of a “typical” Army civilian look like? The conventional wisdom is that individuals who join the Army civilian workforce value the relatively high job security associated with government employment. Further, a common perception is that these individuals join the civilian workforce soon after earning a degree, spend a long career working for the Army, and then leave upon becoming eligible for retirement. However, if many Army civilians follow a different career trajectory — that is, if they spend only a few years working for the Army, or if they move among various Department of Defense (DoD) components — then workforce managers may need to tailor existing workforce management policies on hiring, training, and leadership development to account for these alternative career trajectories. ,To investigate these issues, the researchers identified individuals who entered the Army civilian workforce between fiscal years 1981 and 2000 and were on the General Schedule pay plan, and followed their careers until fiscal year 2015 or until they exited the DoD civilian workforce. The researchers then characterized the most common career patterns among these individuals using a statistical clustering method that identifies patterns of career trajectories that are the most similar in terms of length of service, promotion frequency and timing, and transfers between the Army and other DoD components. They also examined the extent to which each career pattern is related to individual and job characteristics. |
