This study was designed to by-pass this assumption and determine the correlation between the junior enlisted soldier's (E-1 through E-4) perceptions of 18 job- related factors, his\/her level of performance and his\/her level of absenteeism (AWOL). Again, this study approaches only the level of response-performance-AWOL correlations with no attempt at supporting or refuting the satisfacton-leads-to-performance assumption. Analysis revealed: A positive correlation between level of response and performance. Considerably higher response-performance correlations for Combat Arms and Combat Service Support than for Combat Support. No overall correlation between level of response and AWOL. However further analysis revealed a negative correlation between AWOL and three out of four factor sub-scales. A negative correlation between level of performance and AWOL.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allison C.
