PRESENT A TESTABLE HYPOTHESIS DERIVED FROM THIS RESEARCH QUESTION.

Being stationed overseas away from home for the first time, affects the job performance of men between the ages of 19 and 23 years of age.

WHAT ARE TWO OF THE KEY VARIABLES THAT YOU PROPOSE TO USE?

The sponsor contacts the new sailor, by phone and tells him/her what to expect at the new command. The sponsor then follows this up, by sending a welcome aboard package (a package that has information about the job, schools, housing, and recreation) to the new sailor. When the new sailor has completed his technical training, he is sent to his new command where his sponsor will meet him at the airport. The sponsor has already made arrangements to ensure his check in process will go smoothly. Once he arrives at the command he/she will meet their entire chain of command within seventy-two hours. For more information on this pilot program you can visit the Navy jobs.com or the Bupers Web site (Bureau of Naval Personnel).

b. Job performance. Dependent variable

Both variables are the measurable properties of what this study is focused on. The study is a very limited study only affecting a small group of men. Therefore the variables are rather limited. However, if the sampling size was increased to all men, and women stationed overseas for the first time, more variables could be used. In addition with a larger sampling group we could distinguish more factors to constitute a standard for measuring job performance, an example would be, how many radars should be repaired by one sailor in a given work day. Consequently, it could be further broken down by age, race, religious beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicity etc. The study could use interval measurement to measure the differences between men and women in the different branches of the military. The possibilities are almost unlimited. This would be very interesting because we could learn how our men and women in the armed forces feel about being stationed overseas, and how if affects their job performance. The military could also benefit due to the fact, that one branch of the military maybe doing something that helps their young men, and women cope better than another branch of the military. Therefore, each branch of the military could adopt what they liked from each others program, or a program could be developed that applied to all branches of the military, thus increasing their resources.
