The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the personal values of Air Force company grade officers and their decision of whether or not to remain in the Air Force for a career. The study objectives were to determine whether officer value systems are correlated with different levels of career intent, to determine if these value systems are unique, and to synopsize the past research into Air Force officer values conducted at AFIT. The study is based on the findings of this past research which showed that officers in different career fields and as a group do possess unique and measureable value systems. The study found that officers who expressed a common level of career intent also shared a common set of values, and these sets of values differed from those shared by officers expressing a different level of career intent. The study also found that different subgroups of officers, when separated by job type and level of career intent, exhibit no only common by also unique value hierarchies. These findings should be considered preliminary because of the limited sample of career fields and the insignificant sample sizes of several of the subgroups studied. Keywords: Military thesis; Personnel management; Careers. (kt).
