<p>This study examined government civilian employee attrition, primarily with Navy acquisitions  personnel,  and attempted to find trends that contribute to resignation turnover.   Civilian attrition within the Department of Defense is an issue that can severely hinder our mission readiness.  Due to some of their contractual limitations, it is much harder to replace their billets than it is with active duty personnel.  It is important that we retain highly skilled and qualified employees so that we can fulfill the nation’s needs.  The data sources that were used during this study came from the Department of the Navy's Director, Acquisition Career Management and the Department of the Army's Person-Event Data Environment.  The research was able to determine that employees who are older, have more time in federal service, and have higher levels of education, are less likely to resign from their jobs.  It was also able to conclude that by examining the results of employee satisfaction surveys and command resignation rates that job stress, commute strain, organizational justice, and work family conflict, seem to have the most significance for predicting resignation turnover.
