This book was released on 2015 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in satisfaction of public university Resident Assistants (RAs) with regard to several job satisfaction factors identified on the Resident Assistant Satisfaction Survey (RASS), specifically as compared to Casey's (2009) normative sample of RAs in privatized university housing. The RASS outlined eight Employment Aspect Factors and three Criterion Factors to determine RA job satisfaction. This study also determined if there were differences in job satisfaction for public university RAs based on gender, racial ethnic identification, or academic class standing. Resident Assistants from three Research I Florida institutions in the United States completed the RASS. There has been very little research identifying the factors influencing job satisfaction of paraprofessional RAs, specifically at Florida public institutions of higher education and as compared to a privatized university housing company. Experiencing dissatisfaction with the job can negatively affect a Resident Assistant as both staff and student. In turn, it can lead to an overall poor job performance, which could be detrimental to students living in the residence halls. This study added to the current body of research and ascertained ways in which the RA position could be improved based on identified differences and determinants of student staff satisfaction. The results that were compiled and presented demonstrate a significant difference in satisfaction on the factors of supervisor, institution, pay, facilities, intended tenure and non-involvement between public university housing RAs and privatized housing company RAs. A significant difference was also found in job satisfaction for gender in regards to promotions, but no significant differences were found based on racial ethnic identification. A significant difference was found in job satisfaction for academic class standing in regards to pay, general affect, and non-involvement. The significance and recommendations for higher education practitioners was discussed. Implications and recommendations for future research were also suggested, which included improvements in job training, recognition initiatives, staff development, and other housing aspects.

Download or read book Lessons Learned written by John D. Foubert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The college years can be some of the most vibrant and transformative in an individual’s life, but they are also fraught with uncertainty. The resident advisor or assistant (RA) not only confronts these decisions for him or herself but must also help his or her residents navigate the world of important decisions which the undergraduate experience presents. Lessons Learned is the definitive volume for training RAs to become comfortable with their roles as student leaders. Over four dozen common RA mistakes are discussed, chapter-by-chapter, in the form of individual letters written by experienced RAs to new staff members. Each chapter includes thought-provoking discussion questions, a list of internet and media resources, and additional tips related to each situation. Now in its second edition, this updated volume provides a new overview of student developmental theory and covers a host of new topics, including evolving thought on 21st century predicaments such as social media, texting and the Internet. This is an important text for beginning and experienced RAs, as well as for the university staff who train these crucial pillars of the university community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine the experiences and needs of resident assistants at Great Plains University institution to better understand the impact that being a resident assistant has on the resident assistant's academic success. A quantitative survey was created and sent to 175 resident assistants to their academic success strategies. In addition, six resident assistants were interviewed to gain a deeper understanding of the multiple roles assumed, the support systems in place, and the studying habits in which they engage regularly. There were two research questions that guided the exploration of this study. The first research question of this study was what are the core practices that resident assistants engage in their goal of being academically successful? This was divided into three sub-questions: (a) What support systems are in place for RAs to be academically successful? (b) How do resident assistants' experiences differ among the varied environments in which they serve? (c) How do the different roles of RAs affect their academic success? The second and last research question is what overall purpose are these resident assistants fulfilling? The findings of this study inform student affairs practitioners that work within Residence Life Departments and directly supervise undergraduate staffs that work in the residence halls. The findings indicated that resident assistant's motivations, behaviors, environment, and academic success can influence one another and determine if they persist in the resident assistant role. This mixed-methods research study provides recommendations for practices as well as recommendations for future research.
