Book Description
As U.S. military forces appear overcommitted and some ponder a possible return to the draft, the timing is ideal for a review of how the American military transformed itself over the past five decades, from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated "volunteers" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the current war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House. The book includes a foreword by former Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird. The accompanying DVD contains more than 1,700 primary-source documents-government memoranda, Presidential memos and letters, staff papers, and reports-linked directly from citations in the electronic version of the book. This unique technology presents a treasure trove of materials for specialists, researchers, and students of military history, public administration, and government affairs to draw upon.

Conscripts Or Volunteers? Assessing the Impact of Organizational Behaviors and Attitudes on Korean Military Sector Performance

Book Description
Military organizations across the world are faced with challenges in recruiting and retaining high-quality personnel because of increasing inter-sectoral competition, changes in social values, and low unemployment. Although intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and job stress are essential for employee retention and performance, there has been little research into these factors within the military sector. The three separate studies that compose this dissertation were undertaken to investigate the impact of soldiers' behaviors and attitudes on individual's performance and to examine differences in the organizational attitudes and individual performances of conscripts versus volunteer soldiers. The first study examines the relationship between intrinsic motivation and individual performance and explores whether this relationship is mediated by job stress. The second paper explores differences in affective organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and individual performance between conscripts versus volunteer soldiers. This study also investigates the impact of job satisfaction on affective organizational commitment and individual performance in the military sector. The third study investigates whether there are differences in intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction between conscripts and volunteer soldiers. This study investigates the impact of intrinsic motivation on organizational commitment and job satisfaction in the military sector. The results of the three studies note three significant findings: (1) intrinsic motivation has a negative association with job stress, and the relationship between intrinsic motivation and military performance is mediated by job stress; (2) volunteer soldiers have higher job satisfaction and total fitness levels than conscripts, and job satisfaction has a statistically significant positive effect on affective organizational commitment and total fitness levels in military organizations; and (3) volunteer soldiers have higher intrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction than conscripts. Intrinsic motivation has a statistically significant positive effect on military organizations' organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed in the study.

Long Work Hours

Book Description
Using panel survey data from Australia, we divide long hours workers (persons reporting usually working 50 or more hours per week) into groups of 'volunteers', who prefer long hours, and 'conscripts', who do not. We study both the static and dynamic prevalence of the phenomenon. Norms surrounding ideal workers and consumerism play major roles in explaining conscript status, with bargaining power less important. The self-employed often appear as volunteers or conscripts, while gender, rather than motherhood, is a strong predictor of shorter work hours. Both the demand and supply sides of the labour market play a role in explaining the prevalence of long hours conscripts.
