This research examined work and family influences on military officers' retention decisions. Work—home conflict was used to predict retention decisions of military officers. Results indicated that work-related variables had insignificant effects on turnover intentions, a finding contrary to work—family literature that suggests work-related experiences are more likely to predict turnover intentions than family-related experiences. Family satisfaction with military life affected retention decisions, suggesting that members considered their families' satisfaction with military life above their own work-related attitudes. Results indicated that as family members' general satisfaction with military life improved, a corresponding positive effect on the members' willingness to remain in the service resulted.

Key Words: turnover • work—home conflict • family satisfaction • military
