This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the military draft ended in 1975, newly commissioned officers haveincluded increasing numbers of minorities and women. These officers must beretained and promoted for the senior officer ranks to become as diverse asthe junior officer ranks are today. This report examines whether minorityand women officers obtain these promotions and choose to continue in theircareers at the same rate as other officers. The authors conducted tworesearch efforts: analyzing personnel records and interviewing midcareerofficers, personnel managers, and promotion board members individually andin focus groups. Results for minorities other than blacks were limited dueto small sample sizes. White women were found to be less likely to reachhigher officer ranks than were men, mostly because they chose to leave themilitary between promotions. Black male and black female officers generallyfailed promotions in higher proportions than did white males, but were morelikely to stay in the military between promotions. The interviews and focusgroups revealed different perceptions about careers: Black officers seemedto have greater difficulty forming all-important peer and mentorrelationships and overcoming initial expectations of lower performance.Women's careers have been affected by limited occupational opportunities,inconsistent acceptance of their role as military officers, harassment, andfamily conflicts.

Download or read book The Impact of Demographics and Military Factors Affecting Retention Rates of Female and Male Officers in the Surface Warfare and Restricted Line Communities written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes factors that affect the retention of male and female officers, with specific emphasis on the surface warfare and restricted line communities. Specifically, the research examines whether family influence, dependent status, accession source, and undergraduate major are differentially related to retention by gender and community. The study evaluates officers from date of commissioning to the 10-year point in an effort to derive factors related to retention after reaching a major career milestone. A logistic regression model is used as the analytic strategy for the study. Descriptive statistics on independent and dependent variables are run, as appropriate, to show retention rates and outcomes from six cohorts while controlling for missing data, missing cases, and personnel who died prior to the 10-year point. The data set used in this study included officers who were commissioned in the military between 1988 and 1993. Only the Surface Warfare (nuclear and conventional), and Restricted Line (cryptology, intelligence, oceanography, and public affairs) officer communities were examined. The original data set of 84 variables and 9,867 cases was condensed to 4 categories of variables (i.e., demographics factors, military factors, gender and retention), comprising 10 major groups (i.e., age, ethnicity, education major, family status (married/children), commissioning source, prior enlisted, Community, Community Change (SWO lateral to RL), gender, and 10-year retention, yes or no), yielding 24 variables and 5,411 cases. The findings of this study will show whether the retention of female and male officers is related to the same predictors. It should provide data to policy makers and Navy personnel to better predict, control, and maintain retention rates.

Download or read book Effects of Military Family Conflict on Female Naval Officer Retention written by Cody S. Sinclair and published by . This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant relationship exists between work/non-work factors and retention plans among enlisted military personnel (Wilcove, Schwerin, & Wolosin, 2003; Hindelang, Schwerin, & Farmer 2004). An examination of quality of life (QOL) survey data found that married enlisted Sailors with children who were satisfied with non-work factors (i.e., personal development, shipboard life, standard of living/income, relationship with children, marital relationship, health) were more likely to display reenlistment intentions whereas satisfaction with work factors (i.e., professional development, shipboard life, overall QOL) was related to reenlistment intentions only indirectly through its positive effect on organizational commitment (Wilcove, Schwerin, & Wolosin, 2003). Female officers are often overlooked in military QOL research, however they face the same, if not more difficult work/family conflicts than their civilian counterparts or their male military compatriots. Data from the 2002 Navy Quality of Life Survey were used to examine life domains where work/family conflict has the greatest impact on retention. Hierarchical regression was used to identify life domains (e.g., family factors, job experiences, job satisfaction, and commitment) that are key drivers of retention intent among female Naval officers. By identifying areas that are strongly related to female officer retention intentions, policymakers can explore developing strategies to support female officers, such as family support programs, mentoring programs, or professional support networks.

Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
Download or read book Factors Affecting the Retention Decisions of Female Surface Warfare Officers written by Elizabeth A. Clifton and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis delineates factors affecting the retention decisions of female Surface Warfare Officers. The data were obtained from in-depth interviews conducted with 12 female senior officers and 15 female junior officers. The transcripts from the interviews revealed 19 general themes. Based on the research, the data regarding the decisions that female officers make to either stay in the Navy or leave leads to four broad categories: economic factors, Navy "taste factors", leadership factors, and family issues. The most common negative factors influencing female junior officers to leave the Navy are quality of life issues, lack of confidence in senior leadership, and family concerns. The main reasons the female senior officers stayed in the Navy were job satisfaction, their love for being out at sea and ship driving, and their commitment to taking advantage of the opportunities offered to them and forging a path for the women who followed. This thesis concludes with recommendations for further research and policy changes to assist personnel officials in understanding the retention decisions of female Surface Warfare Officers and potentially increasing the retention rate of the female officers.
Download or read book Retaining and Promoting the Best Or Best of the Rest in the SURFACE WARFARE COMMUNITY written by Benjamin W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to explain retention, promotion, and initial ship assignment in the surface warfare community. The retention model is of particular interest because it allows us to see what characteristics define the typical officer being retained. The promotion model provides a validation on the retention model indicating which characteristics define a high-quality officer. The question is answered as to whether the Navy is retaining the highest-quality officers. A database consisting of over 7,000 past and current surface warfare officers was used to develop the statistical models. Through the use of SPSS software, a determination as to the relevance of included independent variables is made. This statistical study provides commentary in accordance with economic theory pertaining to the issues of retention and promotion within the surface warfare community.
Download or read book Strategies for Increasing Female Navy Officer Retention written by Angela Holcombe Walker and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The complexity of the global environment, driven by rapid and profound change, requires a globally dominant fighting force. To adequately protect and defend the security of the United States, the Department of Defense must maintain warfighting superiority through innovation and diversity of thought (SECNAV, 2016; Scoppio, 2012). More than five years have passed since the 2011 Military Leadership Diversity Commission reported to President Obama and members of Congress that “top military leaders are representative neither of the population they serve nor of the forces they lead” (p. xvi). Females are underrepresented among senior military leadership. Increasing the number of female service members adds new competencies and improves the effectiveness of military operations (Egnell, 2013, 2016).Though women constitute more than half of the U.S. population, women represent only 17.3% of the U.S. military officer corps and a mere 6.7% of the upper most leadership flag ranks of admiral and general (DMDC, 2016a, 2016b; Howden & Meyer, 2011). Research reveals the moral and business case for gender diversity and the advantages of female leadership traits. Barriers to retention include actual and anticipated maternal separation anxiety linked to children and the general stresses linked to separation from children, family, and household. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe effective strategies for Navy officer mothers to embrace a long-term deployment thus enabling the choice to remain in the armed forces and thereby increasing female officer retention. Human capital theory (Becker, 1962, 1993), diversity management theory (Thomas,1991), and social role theory (Eagly, 1987) form the theoretical framework explaining the importance of investing in people, effectively managing diversity and inclusion, and exploring gender roles and associated stresses respectively. This study utilized interpretative phenomenological analysis to reveal mothers’ experience of leaving a child due to a military deployment. Appreciative inquiry formed the basis of assembling positive perspectives and strategies. Analysis identified themes and strategies to be shared with Navy leadership in an effort to improve female officer retention. Findings revealed role issues for deploying military mothers, the importance of the child’s age in creating deployment success, and the criticality of support networks"--Abstract.
