A background information questionnaire, the Comrey Personality Scales, & 2 versions of the Navy Environment Scale (adapted from the Insel & Moos real & ideal Work Environment Scale) were administered to navy enlisted men (N = 2,987) & women (N = 340) during occupational training in 5 navy "A" schools. In 1975, after a one-year follow-up period, comparable Navy Environment Scales were mailed to enlistees. One- & two-way analyses of variance were performed to determine if there were differences in perceptions, performance, & background & personality characteristics between men & women by occupation & duty station (sea or shore duty). Results indicated that women tended to be more satisfied than men with their job assignments & being in the navy. Few significant differences between men & women were obtained on 10 social climate dimensions collected within the school settings; men & women on shore duty, however, had significantly more favorable perceptions on these measures than ship-assigned men. The percentages of school graduates & two-year effective enlistees were greater for women than men. Correlates of two-year effectiveness included such variables as expulsions, education, arrests, & social conformity vs rebelliousness; many of these differentiated women from men in that women had higher levels of education, higher means on social conformity, & were less likely to have been expelled or arrested. For the final phase of this longitudinal study, these variables will be used as predictors of successful completion of the four-year enlistment. 2 Tables. AA.
