Abstract:
|
Since 2002, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has conducted the Federal Human Capital Survey, a biennial study aimed at measuring federal employees' satisfaction on a variety of work environment topics. The survey also contains questions regarding one's retirement horizon and intent to leave. This paper compares survey estimates with personnel data for a small set of agencies in an attempt to evaluate the degree of concordance between employees' intent to leave and what consequently occurred. Comparisons to OPM's model-based retirement projections will also be presented.
