Personal Development Planning And Vertical Leadership Development In A Vuca World, Kevin Coopersmith

The Effect Of Socialization Practices And Onboarding On Newcomer Adjustment And Turnover Intention, Alex George Vilayil
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
New employee (newcomer) turnover is a severe problem in many organizations and inevitably leads to both operational and financial concerns.

This study attempts to fill this void by exploring the effectiveness of four different socialization practices on onboarding success and …

Barriers To Succession Planning: A Case Study Of Atlanta Nonprofit Organizations, Adonnis J. Jules
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Succession planning is not a common practice among nonprofit organizations, despite support for its effectiveness in supporting leadership development and providing organizational stability during a planned or unplanned transition. Nonprofits have acknowledged that their leadership ranks are thin, and a leadership transition tends to bring challenges to the organizations when vacancies need to be filled. Barriers exist that prevent nonprofits from engaging in succession planning, but little research has examined the nature of these barriers. This study focused on nonprofit organizations across four different industry sectors to determine the extent of their succession planning efforts and the barriers that exist …
