Novice Teachers Perceptions of Prior Mentoring ExperiencesMcElroy, Gloria Freels 15 December 2012 (has links) (PDF)
More than 50% of novice educators leave the profession in the first 5 years of service. Novice educators were defined as educators with 5 or fewer years of teaching experience. The State of Tennessee has estimated the cost for that decision to around $28,000.00 per teacher for each local educational authority. Many researchers believe mentoring increases novice satisfaction in the classroom. Even though many enter the field of education, Freedman and Appleman (2009) found that teachers leave the profession in rates higher than other professions. Ingersoll and Merrill (2010) showed the annual turnover rate for teachers was higher than for professions like lawyers, engineers and professors. The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of mentoring in the preservice preparation of novice educators.
This study included 10 novice participants with differing preservice mentoring. They were novices with traditional student teaching preservice preparation, year-long internship preparation, urban specialist year-long internships, and alternative licensures featuring a 3-week preservice preparation.
Qualitative interviews were conducted in face-to-face individual sessions. After county approval participants were identified and later consented to the study. An interview guide was used and all participants signed the Informed Consent Document.
During the interview process participants noted the importance of preservice mentoring. Commonalities perceived were the similarity of Millennials to "make a difference",¥ the desire to teach, and those who had "good" preservice mentoring believed it was more important to their level of job satisfaction than those who did not have "good" preservice mentors.
Preservice mentoring was embraced by those with access, and those participants without a "good" preservice mentoring experience expressed a desire to have had "good" preservice mentoring. Preservice mentoring was not found as essential to the retention of novice teachers interviewed in this study. All participants indicated they intend to retire in the educational profession regardless of their preservice mentoring. Recommendations derived from this study included extending preservice requirements for alternative programs and a change in the scope of collegiate work during a novice's preservice training.

Leading The Millennial Workforce : A study linking empowering leadership and millennial needsCampello Engren, Christian, Raj, Roxána January 2022 (has links)
Background: Leadership practices in general are of great interest and today’s workforce mainly consist of people from the millennial generation. As this phenomenon is becoming apparent, management must adapt to the changing needs of employees. Long gone are the times when people stayed at the company for their whole careers since it is not only easier to relocate but they act on their dissatisfaction more frequently. Therefore, it is imperative that leadership evolves to match the new demands set out by millennials to make them less inclined to depart. Purpose: We set out to explore how leadership can be used to satisfy the needs of millennial employees. Empowering leadership is the style that was found to fit the best so we set out to explore millennials through the lens of empowering leadership. This in turn allowed us to also enrich the leadership theory with added insights based on employee needs. Method: We conducted a qualitative study with thirteen semi-structured interviews which resulted in rich data. Gaining insights from our interviewees, we were able to critically assess the validity of empowering leadership. We analyzed our data with thematic analysis to categorize it in different themes and further comprehend the findings. Conclusion: The results show that most empowering leadership practices fit the needs of millennial employees. Based on the findings, we further identified two distinct practices that are to be added to leadership literature and were able to understand what the millennials require in the workplace.

How to narrow the intention-behaviour gap of sustainable textile consumption from the perspectives of retailers and Millennial consumers : A qualitative study in the Netherlandsvan den Bosch, R.J, Vos, Eleonora January 2022 (has links)
Background: The textile and apparel industry is seen as one of the most polluting industries of these times. Consumers and retailers are both considered important stakeholders in the textile supply chain. Despite that Dutch Millennial consumers are willing to buy sustainable products, there is a gap between their intention and behaviour with regard to sustainable textile products. To narrow this gap, the influencing factors on the gap need to be indicated and opportunities for retailers to be generated. Purpose: Explore how to narrow the intention-behaviour gap of sustainable textile consumption of Dutch Millennials together with Millennial consumers and retailers. Method: To attain the purpose, a qualitative study was conducted. An analytical framework was created to study the factors influencing the intention-behaviour gap of sustainable textiles by Dutch Millennial consumers. To gain insights, 16 semi-structured interviews have been conducted, ten interviews with consumers and six with textile retailers. Conclusion: Price, availability, trust in a company and knowledge and information are factors from a consumer perspective that directly impact the intention-behaviour gap of Dutch Millennials. Moreover, the results show a direct impact of retailers on the intention-behaviour gap. Four opportunities are formulated to narrow this gap from a retailer's perspective.

Perceptions of Education as an Avenue to Life Course Success: A Study of MillennialsSmith, Patrick 01 January 2014 (has links)
For more than a half a century the role of education and its influence on social mobility and status attainment has been a subject of research. Further more, education has been shown to be an important contributor for success over the life course. Much of the research surrounding status attainment and higher education has dealt with the Baby Boomer cohort. The purpose of the study is to examine education from a perspective that is less talked about to this point. This study uses data gathered by the Pew Research Center and examines a specific age group, current 18-30 year olds (Millennials), to gather a better understanding of their attitudes towards the value of higher education within the current era of the economy, education, and job opportunity. According to the analysis, females report higher odds of feeling that a college degree is important to success later in life. Equally important, results indicate that Blacks have greater odds of perceiving education to be important for success in life. Results also demonstrated that in this particular study, other factors such as income and employment status did not significantly affect respondent's perceptions on the importance of education.

Millennials Making Meanings: Social Constructions of Sexual Harassment regarding Gender and Power by Generation YStark, Nicole 01 January 2015 (has links)
The term sexual harassment was brought to light by legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon during the second wave feminist movement in the 1970s, and has since changed in its meaning over the past four decades, influencing policy, legal action, and the way we, as a society, treat this social problem. Millennials, or those born between 1980 and 2000, will be the next generation of working adults that will influence the way sexual harassment is understood and defined both legally and socially. The Millennial generation is typically considered liberal and socially conscious, prompting the research question of “How do Millennials socially construct sexual harassment in terms of gender and power?” Eighteen semi-structured interviews with adult Millennials up to age 33 were conducted. Analysis was informed by feminist theory, social constructionism, and critical race theory. Results showed while Millennials are quick to speak about inclusion of men as targets of sexual harassment, they did so at the cost of frankly discussing that women are targeted more often than men. Combined with the ability to discuss individual causes of sexual harassment compared to the structural, this led to my findings of“gender-blind” sexual harassment attitudes describing postfeminist beliefs among Millennials.

How Millennials Engage in Social Media Activism: A Uses and Gratifications ApproachDookhoo, Sasha 01 January 2015 (has links)
Millennials are the world's digital natives and its largest generation. A general perception of this generation is that they lack engagement in social-political issues. This study explores how Millennials are engaging in social media activism and whether online activism is driving offline activism behaviors. A quantitative survey of 306 participants was conducted to learn more about the gratifications Millennials obtain through social media and whether associations exist between their online and offline activism behaviors. The results showed that Millennials engage in online activism behaviors to a greater extent than offline activism behaviors. Millennials primarily gratify intrinsic needs for interaction and belonging by engaging in social media activism behaviors. So-called “slacktivism” behaviors were most common among Millennials engaging in online activism. Similarly, online activism behaviors that require greater investment from Millennials were a good predictor of activism behaviors that occur offline. Results also demonstrate that, at an individual identification level, Millennials self-perceptions as activists predicted engagement in both online and offline activism.

An Analysis Of Generational Differences And Their Effects On Schools And Student PerformancePaniale, Lisa 01 January 2013 (has links)
This study examined the effects of generational differences on student achievement of students in Brevard Public Schools, Brevard County, Florida. The independent variable was the generational cohorts (Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Generation X, and Millennials). The dependent variable was the factors of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and work motivation. A second dependent variable was Value-Added Measure (VAM) scores calculated by the Department of Education for the state of Florida for each teacher of grades K-12. These VAM scores were derived from the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Reading and Math Developmental Scale scores to show a teacher’s effect on student achievement. A convenience sample of teachers was surveyed from the population of all Brevard Public Schools teachers, and respondents’ VAM scores were analyzed for differences in the means. Findings showed that there was a statistically significant difference in job satisfaction among the generational cohorts based on the benefits factor. Baby Boomers found benefits to be a more important aspect of job satisfaction than did Millennials. There was also a statistically significant difference in organizational commitment among the generational cohorts based on career at current school. Baby Boomers found spending the rest of their career at their current school significantly more important than did Millennials. There was no statistically significant difference among the generational cohorts in work motivation or means of VAM scores. Recommendations were made for future studies that generalize the finding to other counties in Florida, other states, and other countries. The possibility of generational impact being a cultural experience would be addressed. Another possible future study included examining individuals within a single generational cohort. Gender considerations are one area iii for study. Furthermore, it is recommended that future studies move beyond one timeframe for gathering data. A longitudinal study of the same people within a generation from the beginning of their career to the end to determine if values change due to aging and gaining experience as compared to belonging to a generation should be conducted

Chefers syn på kvinnligt och manligt ledarskap : En jämförande studie mellan Generation X och Millennials / Managers views on female and male leadership : A comparative study between Generation X and MillennialsWesser, Amanda, Karlsson, Filippa January 2023 (has links)
Ledarskap har en stor påverkan på människor, företag och samhället i stort. Vidare finns det i samhället normer och könsroller som karaktäriserar bilden av hur en kvinna och en man bör vara. Denna socialt konstruerade bild överförs även till arbetslivet där kvinnor och män i ledande positioner har olika förutsättningar och förväntningar utifrån kön. En annan aspekt som influerar ledarskap är generationer. Olika generationer har växt upp under olika förutsättningar som kan påverka deras attityder mot ledarskap och hur de vill bli ledda. Det finns en avsaknad av undersökning i relation till dessa tre komponenter: ledarskap, genus samt generationer i form av Generation X och Millennials tillsammans.

Credibility Communication of CSR Initiatives : A study on credible CSR communication within the gambling industry among millennials.Ali, Maxamed Duran, Tekes, Serhat January 2021 (has links)
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly important aspect for companies to consider in a highly competitive business environment. Consequently, stakeholders have shown increased interest in how companies and suppliers relate to sustainable development and place ever higher demands on companies to actively engage in CSR initiatives. However, companies are facing challenges with their CSR communication credibility, especially in the gambling industry. CSR communication credibility is investigated in previous studies where several underlying factors have been presented. However, there is a theoretical gap of how these theories and factors correlate in the gambling industry with regards to CSR communication credibility. The purpose of this research paper is to identify the different factors affecting CSR communication credibility within the gambling industry among millennials. Furthermore, the purpose is also to enhance the understanding of what to consider in gambling companies' quest for increasing the credibility of their CSR communication. This is done through testing three hypotheses regarding different constructs, namely CSR credibility, corporate image and institutional credibility and how they influence CSR communication credibility. The research is quantitative in nature and employs a descriptive-explanatory approach, using an online survey to collect primary data. The online survey was distributed to previous and current customer of a Swedish gambling enterprise, which yielded a total sample size of 495 which was used for the statistical analysis. The findings suggest that the underlying factors CSR commitment, company as a source, information attractiveness and reputation influence CSR communication credibility and all factors are needed to be considered when gambling companies investigate their CSR communication credibility.
