- Strader, E. & Smith, M. (2022). Some parents survive and some don't: The Army and the family as "greedy institutions". Public Administration Review, 82(3), 446-458. https://doi.org/10.1111/puar.13467
- This study examined differences in job performance (i.e., promoted to sergeant, terminated due to poor performance) and retention (i.e., leave prematurely due to family reasons) among enlisted Soldiers without a college degree based on demographic factors such as gender, parental status (i.e., childless, became parents during service, enlisted as parents, had additional children during service), and marital status. Analyses were conducted using the administrative data of Soldiers who enlisted between 2002 and 2009 (N = 481,844). Gender, parental status, and marital status contributed differently to job performance and job retention.
