Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines junior officers at the United States Naval Academy, and their commitment to mentor midshipmen. Survey data are reported from 148 Navy Lieutenants and Lieutenant Commanders and Marine Corps Captains and Majors, stationed on the Naval Academy yard. The purpose of this study was to better understand the mentoring experiences, dispositions, and motivations among junior officers at the Naval Academy and identify how previous mentorship experience, prosocial behaviors, and personal (versus instrumental) motives relate to junior officer willingness to mentor Naval Academy midshipmen. The study concludes that helping others and benefiting the organization appear to be the distinguishing sources of motivation for junior officers who choose to mentor. Additionally, it finds that a junior officer's willingness to mentor and their levels of other-oriented empathy are associated with whether or not they chose to mentor. Lastly, this study reports that junior officers who were familiar with mentorship, and had previously been mentored in the fleet chose to mentor midshipmen at a much higher rate than their peers who were never protégés to a mentor.

This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine mentoring of minority midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Mentoring has long been practiced in the business world to introduce new employees to their new assignments, positions, or jobs. This study searched for the effects of mentoring on Black and White male midshipmen and examined the distinguishing features that make mentoring a positive experience for the mentor and prot g alike. Additionally, this study looked at the features of mentoring that may influence minority midshipmen to remain at the USNA and in the United States Navy as well. Focus groups with over 50 participants were conducted and content analyzed for reliable themes. Although there seems to be mistrust of faculty and staff, upperclassmen are an invaluable and sought after source of specific information. Further, minorities especially seek networks such as sports teams and Black clubs for support. In such homogeneous networks, minority midshipmen are less likely to feel vulnerable or inadequate when seeking information.

Download or read book Mentoring Experiences Among Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy written by Brett T. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated mentoring and midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). The mission of the Naval Academy is essentially to develop leaders, and mentoring is closely related to leadership. Therefore, this study looked at possible correlations between mentoring and midshipmen at USNA. Specifically, the extent of mentoring on midshipmen at USNA, the degree of influence mentors had on midshipmen, salient features of USNA mentors, and other psychosocial outcomes of mentoring on midshipmen were investigated in this study. This study suggests midshipmen generally accept mentoring as an important concept, but only 45% of USNA midshipmen have mentors. Female midshipmen were more likely to have a mentor at USNA than their male counterparts. USNA mentors were typically older than their protege, Caucasian, male and in the military. Peers were most trusted and utilized as mentors. This study also suggests that midshipmen having mentors were more satisfied with USNA, more likely to mentor others, and more likely to hold a leadership position on a sports team or in an extracurricular activity (ECA).

Download or read book Mentors in the Classroom written by Jeffrey R. Raithel and published by . This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated those beliefs and behaviors of exemplary faculty mentors for United States Naval Academy Midshipmen. The mission of the USNA is to develop young men and women morally, physically, and mentally. A clear task of the USNA faculty is to be the principle tool in the academic development of the midshipmen. However, the faculty is also in a unique position to be instrumental in the moral and character development of midshipmen. This thesis focused on the mentor-protege' relationship from the faculty mentor's perspective and attempted to identify those beliefs and behaviors common among effective faculty mentors. The following five propositions are put forward as results of this study: 1) Exemplary mentors appear to have high emotional receptivity; 2) The primary motivation of exemplary mentors is a strong desire to help others; 3) Exemplary mentors appear to possess strong relationship skills and employ those skills in their educational techniques; 4) Organizational factors can inhibit or promote mentoring within an academic environment; 5) Civilian faculty do not feel they were less influential than military instructors. Regarding the midshipmen, this study suggests that midshipmen do experience mentoring although not necessarily according to the classical definition. Furthermore, midshipmen are more likely to be mentored by faculty members that participate in extra-curricular activities outside of the classroom.
