Will They Stay? Turnover Intentions of Future Federal Cyber Corps Members

【参考译文】为了应对预计的公共部门劳动力短缺，联邦机构制定了创新战略来鼓励公共服务。服务团计划提供教育奖学金，以换取特定的服务时间，这是一种越来越受欢迎的战略——《服务美国法》的重新授权和扩大突显了这一点。虽然作为一种解决短期劳动力需求的机制似乎是有效的，但服务队项目的长期影响并不明朗。然而，考虑到它们的成本，对这些项目的潜力有充分的了解，以解决短期和长期的劳动力需求是至关重要的。因此，本研究项目旨在通过考察美国国家科学基金会联邦网络服务：服务奖学金（SFS）项目参与者的离职意向，加深对服务队项目在解决长期劳动力需求方面的价值的理解。SFS是一个机构间服务团队计划，旨在招募公共部门网络安全工作人员的未来成员。自2001年以来，已有超过7500万美元作为奖学金发放给800多名未来的联邦网络军团成员。考虑到强大的公共部门网络军团的重要性以及这种招聘和社会化工具的成本，对项目影响获得额外的见解至关重要。本研究项目调查了联邦网络军团未来成员在其项目和服役期间的离职意向。本研究透过问卷调查，检视个人因素、工作相关因素和组织因素如何影响他们事前留下来的意愿。

Computer Science (31) In response to the predicted shortfall in the public sector workforce, federal agencies have developed innovative strategies to encourage public service. Service corps programs, which provide educational scholarships in exchange for a specified service period, are an increasingly popular strategy - as highlighted by the reauthorization and expansion of The Serve America Act. Although seemingly effective as a mechanism to address short term workforce needs, the long-term impact of service corps programs is not as clear. Given their cost, however, it is critical to gain sound insight on the potential of these programs to address both short- and long-term workforce needs. Thus, this research project seeks to add to the understanding of the value of service corps programs in addressing long-term workforce needs through an examination of the turnover intentions of participants in the National Science Foundation Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program. SFS is an inter-agency service corps program that recruits future members of the public sector cyber security workforce. Since 2001, more than $75 million has been distributed as scholarship support for more than 800 future members of the federal cyber corps. Given the importance of a strong public sector cyber corps and the cost of this recruitment and socialization tool, it is critical to gain additional insight about program impact. This research project investigates the turnover intentions among future members of the federal cyber corps while they are still engaged in their programs and service periods. Through surveys of current SFS participants, the research project examines how individual, job-related and organizational factors influence their ex-ante intention to stay.
