This research examines the current compensation policies | |
of the Republic of Korea | |
Army with a view toward identifying and recommending the | |
most appropriate compensation | |
policies for recruitment and retention of high quality | |
officers. | |
The Republic of Korea Army is sustained largely by the | |
loyalty and patriotism of | |
its members. However, several changes in the economic | |
environment have tended to | |
make military service a less attractive career | |
alternative for young men. Today, the | |
ROK Army faces several problems that are relative to | |
inefficient manpower management. | |
Two separate surveys were utilized in an attempt to | |
determine the attitudes of ROK | |
Army officers relative to compensation policies. The most | |
significant finding of both | |
surveys is that certain changes in the compensation | |
policies could have a positive influence | |
on the recruitment and retention of high quality | |
officers. Specific policy changes | |
that are suggested by the surveys are improvement of pay | |
compensation, focusing on | |
increasing initial pay of junior officers and a special | |
allowance for typical military job | |
conditions, and improvement of current promotion and | |
retirement systems for enhancing | |
job security. | |
