This book was released on 1991 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the impact of graduate education on the promotion performance and retention of General Unrestricted Line Officers. Logistic models are developed to determine the effects of a graduate degree from the Naval Postgraduate School and other sources on the probability of promotion to Lieutenant Commander and Commander, and on retention up to the Lieutenant Command and Commander levels. Results indicate that graduate education has a positive impact on the probability of promotion to Lieutenant Commander, with Naval Postgraduate School showing a stronger effect than other education sources. No significant effect was noted for promotion to Commander. Graduate education was found to have a significantly negative impact on retention prior to the Lieutenant Commander selection point. Results for retention at the Commander selection level were inconclusive. It is recommended that further research be done concerning the impact of graduate education on other officer communities.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the utilization and retention of Naval officers who have received Navy funding for their graduate education. Two databases are used to analyze utilization and retention: the 1993 officer master file and a cohort file of officers who were commissioned in 1980. The 1993 officer master file looks at utilization first by all subspecialties together, second by gender, and finally by designator. The cohort file is used to analyze both utilization and retention. The results indicate that, overall, the Navy receives a relatively good return on its investment. Specifically, the Restricted Line and Staff Corps officer communities have the best utilization rates. The study reveals that Unrestricted Line officers tend to have relatively lower utilization rates than officers in other communities. The cohort data indicate that fully-funded graduate education subspecialists generally have a higher retention rate than their counterparts without fully- funded graduate education.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Impact of Fully Funded Graduate Education on the Retention of Naval Officers written by Eric L. Conzen and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the impact of "funded graduate education" on retention of Naval Officers. Logit regression and multivariate models were used to determine the effects that a graduate degree from the Naval Postgraduate School (fully funded) or civilian graduate schools through partially funded graduate programs had on officer retention. The data sets were created using data from the Officer Master Record Files (OMRF) obtained from the Defense Manpower Data Center, Monterey, California (DMDC). The data sets included all Naval Officers that were eligible for voluntary separation each year from 1992 to 1997. Maximum likelihood logit regression was used to estimate the probabilities that officers with graduate degrees earned from NPS or civilian institutions decide to leave the service at the end of any mandatory educational obligation. The findings revealed indicate that although funded graduate education may have an effect on promotion possibilities, its impact on retention past the ten-year point in an officer's career is not detectable.

Download or read book The Effects of the Utilization of Graduate Education on Promotion and Executive Officer Command Screening in the Surface Community written by Kim L. Fuchs and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effect of graduate education on the career progression of Navy surface warfare officers. The probability of promotion to LCDR (O-4), CDR (O-5) and CAPT (O-6) grades as well as the probability of screening for XO and CO are used as career progression milestones. The analysis examines the effect on career outcomes of a graduate education background in general, differences in the effect of holding a Navy-funded graduate degree versus a non-funded degree, and whether the funded degree was in a technical or non-technical curricula. The thesis also investigates the effect of utilization of graduate education on career progression. Finally, the thesis examines the determinants of who decides to pursue (or is chosen to attend) a funded graduate program. The results support the conclusion that officers who select (or are selected for) the graduate education program have stronger undergraduate backgrounds and stronger job performance early in their careers. These traits raise a question of selection bias, since officers who have graduate education may have been more likely to promote even if they did not have graduate education. A test for selection bias was developed and incorporated in the career progression models. The results indicate that a fully funded graduate degree has a positive effect on the selected measures of career progression. The probability of promotion to O-6 was higher for officers who utilized their graduate degrees as an O-5 compared to those who utilized earlier in their careers. Finally, officers with non-technical graduate majors had a higher probability of promoting than those with technical majors.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the impact of the Navy's fully-funded graduate education program on Surface Warfare Officer performance. Three measures of officer performance are used: (1) probability of promotion to O-4; (2) percent of all LT FITREPs recommended for early promotion; and (3) the probability of receiving an early promotion recommendation on the last LT FITREP. Navy Officer Master Files (FY1981 through FY1990), created by Prof. William Bowman, USNA, are merged with NPRDC's Officer FITREP Files to statistically analyze performance differences between Surface Warfare Officers with and without fully-funded graduate education. Ordinary least squares and non-linear maximum likelihood techniques are used to estimate the three performance models. Since selection into the fully-funded program is not random, an attempt is made to model the selection process and to correct for the potential bias in the estimated coefficient of graduate education in the performance models. The findings reveal that fully-funded graduate education has a significant positive impact on the probability of promotion to O-4, but insignificant effects on receiving early promotion recommendations on LT FITREPs. Additionally, selectivity does not appear to bias estimates of fully-funded graduate education in the performance models.

Download or read book Joint Professional Military Education and Its Effects on the Unrestricted Line Naval Officer Career written by Daniel J. Walsh and published by . This book was released on 1997-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of this thesis show Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) has four primary impacts on the Unrestricted Line (URL) Naval officer career. First, JPME is an effective retention tool. Second, almost all URL officers completing WME do so between the 10 and 22 year points in their career. Third, a URL officer completing any form of JPME prior to the 0-5 promotion board does not have a significantly better chance of promoting to 0-5; whereas, a URL officer completing resident JPME prior to the 0-6 promotion board has a significantly better chance of promoting to 0-6- except in the case of nonresident WME, intermediate level Phase 1/11, and the equivalents (Federal Executive Fellowships or Foreign Service Colleges). For these three forms of JPME, the effect on promotion is insignificant at all levels. Fourth, unlike JPME, a URL officer completing any form of graduate education prior to the 0-5 promotion board has a significantly better chance of promoting to 0-5. In contrast, a URL officer completing graduate education after the 0-5 promotion board does not have a significantly better chance of promoting to 0-6.
Download or read book An Analysis of the Effect of Graduate Education on the Job Performance of Federal DOD Civilian Employees written by Guner Celik and published by . This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between graduate education and the job performance of DoD civilian employees. The thesis focuses on selected job performance measures for all civilian DoD personnel employed between 1986 and 1999, except for those in the National Imagery and Mapping Agency and direct and indirect hire civilian employees outside the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) provided the personnel data. Performance measures that are analyzed include promotion, promotion speed, performance ratings, earnings and retention. Three different techniques are used to estimate performance models. First, ordinary least squares is used to estimate the salary and performance rating models. Second, binary logit regression is used to estimate promotion, retention, and performance rating models. Third, survival analysis using Cox Regression estimates the speed of promotion and the time to separation. The results indicate that employees with a Master's or Doctorate earned more in average salary but experienced lower salary growth than employees with a Bachelor's degree, Also advanced degree holders are promoted more slowly since they enter at a higher GS grade. Higher educated employees were also more likely to leave federal service, but were more likely to receive top ratings and achieve a supervisor position.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis studied the retention of United States Naval Academy Voluntary Graduate Education Program (VGEP) and Scholarship participants in graduating classes of 1983-1998. The comparison group of non-participants consisted of USNA graduating classes 1983-1998 with an Academic Quality Point Rating (AQPR) comparable to the early graduate education students. AQPR was used in order to make the academic backgrounds similar for the participants and non-participants. The retention behavior of program participants and non-participants was compared to determine if participation in early graduate education affected retention. The models analyzed retention to each year of service between six and twelve years. In the retention models for unrestricted line officers, both VGEP and Scholarship had a small positive effect on retention to 7 YCS. Although the adjusted differences in retention are not large in magnitude, the results dispel the notion that early graduate education programs are used as vehicles by junior officers to facilitate transition to the civilian labor market following expiration of their initial service obligation. No changes to the service obligations for these programs were recommended.

This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of graduate education on the job performance of Department of Defense (DoD) civilian employees. The data used in this thesis were drawn from the Department of Defense Civilian Personnel Data File, which was provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center. The raw data were restricted to employees who possess at least a Bachelor's degree and are paid under General Schedule (GS) or General Management (GM) pay systems. Four performance measures were developed to investigate the effect of graduate education on job performance: salary level, promotion, retention, and performance rating. Four multivariate models were constructed for these performance measures. Ordinary least square (OLS) techniques were used to estimate the salary model. Logistic regression was used to estimate the promotion, retention, and performance rating models. The results found that the effect of having a Master's degree was positive in the salary, promotion, and performance ratings models. The effect of a Master's was negative in the retention model. All these findings were consistent with basic human capital investment theory. The thesis recommends that future research develop alternative job performance indicators and focus on specific occupations and functional areas.
