Abstract:
Employment turnover in the Alaska Public Safety Officer (VPSO) Program has
been a problem since its beginnings in the early 1980s. This paper uses
principal component analysis methods to identify factors from the responses
of 113 VPSOs to a survey of about officer stress, the demands of rural policing,
isolation, career motivation, salary, and organizational and community support.
The factors identified in the principal component analysis are then used
in a Cox regression model to predict the likelihood of turnover. Comparisons
are made between the factors associated with turnover among Alaska Native
and non-Native VPSOs. |
