• W627729611 abstract "Increasing operational commitments mean that military personnel are oftenseparated from their family. Two main concerns arise: what is the impact onthe serving person and family? Does increased time away from home affectretention in the Services? A review of relevant literature shows that much ofthe research to date has treated these as separate outcomes. Severalpossible research designs are considered. A pragmatist position, assertingthat the research question is of primary importance in the choice of methods,is adopted. The design used is a sequential (two phase) explanatory design:quantitative followed by qualitative. A survey was conducted, with 2050responses. Three hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance. First,that separated service is associated with retention. This is supported, and a Ushaped relationship is found, with both very high and low separationassociated with decreased likelihood of retention. Second, some demographicgroups tolerate less separation than others, before leaving. This is supported,(e.g. single personnel tolerate more separation than married). Third, increasedseparation from family has social impacts that in turn affect retention. This toois supported. Findings are discussed in terms of whether they fit with previousresearch, and whether theoretical perspectives can help to interpret thefindings. A number of questions followed that are best addressed usingqualitative research: How do people develop an understanding thatseparation is part of the job? And does this idea change and developthrough their career? These are explored using Grounded Theory. Datacollection from a total of six participants is described. Semi-structuredinterviews were designed to encourage interviewees to talk about experiences of separation from the point at which they joined the military, to the point atwhich they left. Four were interviewed in depth, with interviews transcribed.Line-by-line coding was followed by application of the constant comparisonmethod. An initial model was drafted, and a further two interviewees wereincluded to test fit and relevance. A Grounded Theory of separation is stated.Separated service is seen as part of the job for many military personnel.Those who state that they accept separation appear to understand what itmeans to be separated differently at different times, and so acceptance andunderstanding differ. Two core themes are: how understanding develops andchanges, and what influences acceptance of separation. The data suggest astrong temporal aspect to understanding, with understanding developingalongside usual through-life changes. Acceptance of separation may befacilitated by the perception of benefits to the serving person, and may betempered by features of the separation, and features of the serving personand family. Individuals' self-image may be affected by how they have dealtwith separation in the past." @default.
