Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to organizational issues, the military is concerned with individual and family welfare. To meet the needs of military members and their families, the Department of Defense has created a number of personnel support programs. Such programs help maintain a high quality of life within the military. One important aspect of quality of life is a sense of community. The social science literature has shown that a sense of community is positively associated with a number of important organizational outcomes, such as commitment, performance, retention, and readiness. This report reviews nine insights from the social science literature that can be used to strengthen a sense of community within an organization. Suggestions are provided on how personnel support programs can implement these principles. This report is part of a longer-term study of quality-of-life issues in the military. It is intended for military and civilian policymakers and decisionmakers with an interest in how quality of life bears on retention and readiness. The study is assessing the mix and scope of military support programs and will recommend policies to enhance the effectiveness of support programs. The work was sponsored by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Personnel Support, Families, and Education. This research was conducted in the Forces and Resources Policy Center, which is part of RAND's National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the unified commands, and the defense agencies.

Book Synopsis Increasing a Sense of Community in the Military by : Colette Van Laar
Download or read book Increasing a Sense of Community in the Military written by Colette Van Laar and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1999 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A universally accepted definition of what a sense of community is remains elusive, but policymakers agree that increasing that sense has tangible benefits for the U.S. military in improvements to commitment, performance, retention, and readiness. This report examines the role of the Defense Department's personnel support programs and focuses on nine tools for increasing sense of community: group symbols, rewards and honors, common external threat, making military membership attractive, group size and individuality, personal influence, personal investment, contact and proximity, and group activities. The report also analyzes which groups would most benefit from programs to increase a sense of community and how to avoid pitfalls when attempting to increase that sense.

Download or read book Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
Book Synopsis Good Military Wives Stay by : Monica Henry
Download or read book Good Military Wives Stay written by Monica Henry and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and men are socialized to accept and perform certain gendered roles generally man as warrior/protector and woman as caretaker/protected. The United States Military depends on the wives of servicemen to embrace these gendered roles in order to carry out military operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF.) The conservative nature of the military, its demand for obedience and loyalty, the dependency of military wives on the military community for financial and social support to cope with the hardships of military life contribute to the reluctance of those opposed to OIF to publicly express this opposition and/or contribute to their negative perceptions of the antiwar movement. Although large-scale opposition to OIF among military wives is unlikely, to avoid further alienating military wives and potential allies, members of the anti-war movement should consider the impact that specific methods of protest have on military families and engage in anti-war activities accordingly.

Download or read book The Defense Science Board Task Force on Human Resources Strategy written by United States. Defense Science Board. Task Force on Human Resources Strategy and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) employs more than three million people. Nearly half of its personnel, 1.44 million, are active duty military. About 870,000 Reservists, composed of 410,000 Selected Reservists and 460,000 National Guard personnel, add to the active duty force. Civilian personnel make up the remaining workforce, numbering about 730,000. These three million employees are supported by an array of defense contractors providing a wide variety of goods and services to the Department. Moreover, the Department spends more than half of its $270 billion budget on pay and allowances alone. With a workforce this large, varied, diverse, and important, it is not surprising that its management is a uniquely challenging undertaking. The human resource challenges facing DoD have changed rapidly over the last decade as a result of many factors. A robust economy, civilian sector competition for employees to fill high-technology positions, declining American public interest in public service, major changes in the Department's missions and operational tempo, and a significant downsizing of the Department's workforce are a few examples. Reducing the size of the overall workforce by more than a million personnel, from a high in 1987 of 4.1 million, has left in place a very different force distribution - in age, education, and skill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a decade, there has been growing interest and research on the pivotal role of emotions in educational settings. This ground-breaking handbook is the first to highlight this emerging field of research and to describe in detail the ways in which emotions affect learning and instruction in the classroom as well as students’ and teachers’ development and well-being. Informed by research from a number of related fields, the handbook includes four sections. Section I focuses on fundamental principles of emotion, including the interplay among emotion, cognition, and motivation, the regulation of emotion, and emotional intelligence. Section II examines emotions and emotion regulation in classroom settings, addressing specific emotions (enjoyment, interest, curiosity, pride, anxiety, confusion, shame, and boredom) as well as social-emotional learning programs. Section III highlights research on emotions in academic content domains (mathematics, science, and reading/writing), contextual factors (classroom, family, and culture), and teacher emotions. The final section examines the various methodological approaches to studying emotions in educational settings. With work from leading international experts across disciplines, this book synthesizes the latest research on emotions in education.
