JOHN ARTHUR GORY. THE EFFECTS OF VETERAN IDENTITY STRAIN, PTSD, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT ON VETERANS' JOB SATISFACTION (Under the direction of DR REGINALD A. SILVER) Military veterans transitioning from the Armed Forces to the civilian workforce face many challenges and obstacles such as anxiety, depression, unemployment, and unstable work relations. As of September 2017, there were over 4.2 million United States veterans from the post-9/11 era alone. More than 5 million U.S. veterans are expected to return to our communities and the civilian workforce by the year 2020 (Stern, 2017). The vast majority of Americans have little understanding of military service or the impact service may have on civilian employment outcomes (Taylor, Morin, & Parker, 2011). With tens of thousands of veterans having returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, little focus has been concentrated on post deployment reintegration efforts into the civilian workforce. The present dissertation explores veteran reintegration by evaluating the association between veteran identity strain (Vet-IS) and job satisfaction. It also investigates how the relationship between Vet-IS and job satisfaction may be influenced by perceived social support and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Data were collected via a 60-item electronic survey distributed to employed veterans (n=135) in the United States. The proposed research hypotheses were tested using partial least squares - structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results from the analysis demonstrate a statistically significant direct effect of Vet-IS on job satisfaction. However, the moderating effects of both perceived social support and PTSD were found to be nonsignificant on the association between Vet-IS and job satisfaction. The findings are discussed in light of their theoretical and practical implications and suggestions are offered for future research on veteran employment and retention. INDEX WORDS: Veteran Identity Strain, PTSD, Social Support, Job Satisfaction
