Abstract/Description
Drawing from the wildly successful use of the executive coaching model in the private sector, this session will describe how one public institution created their own coaching program, and equipped not faculty or administration, but rather students to coach each other. This study explored the motivation of the coaches to devote their time to this effort without financial reward or recognition. The presenter designed, proposed, promoted, and instituted s2s Coaching.

Show moreDrawing from the wildly successful use of the executive coaching model in the private sector, this session will describe how one public institution created their own coaching program, and equipped not faculty or administration, but rather students to coach each other. This study explored the motivation of the coaches to devote their time to this effort without financial reward or recognition. The presenter designed, proposed, promoted, and instituted s2s Coaching. The purpose of this case study was to explore the perspective of student coaches in the s2s Coaching program at Palm Beach State College following completion of training in the spring term of 2013. An additional research question was to assess the coaches’ perspective of the coach training and their motivation or interest in becoming a student coach. Lastly, the recommendations of the coaches for future coach training sessions are assessed. Coaches were interviewed and document review was included in the methodology. Among the findings that emerged was the discomfort that the coaches felt in maintaining a professional or institutional role while delving into potentially personal matters, which in their normal discourse would make them a friend. This fuzzy line between coach and friend engendered discussion and recommendations for future training and discussion of this topic with the other coaches. The findings are revealed by a discussion of these categories.

Abstract/Description
The purpose of this research was to determine if a relationship exists between McGregor’s Leadership Theory and subjective states of well-being among higher educational leaders in state and community colleges in Florida. The underlying supposition was that the preference for what Douglas McGregor called Theory X or Theory Y assumptions, indicate intrinsic assumptions about human nature and are linked to subjective happiness.

Show moreThe purpose of this research was to determine if a relationship exists between McGregor’s Leadership Theory and subjective states of well-being among higher educational leaders in state and community colleges in Florida. The underlying supposition was that the preference for what Douglas McGregor called Theory X or Theory Y assumptions, indicate intrinsic assumptions about human nature and are linked to subjective happiness. Quantitative data were collected through electronic administration of two surveys and demographic questions to higher educational leaders at 28 state and community colleges in the State of Florida. These instruments measured levels of well-being through the PERMA-Profiler instrument and preferences for Theory X or Theory Y using the Theory X and Theory Y Managerial Assumptions Inventory. Multiple correlation and regression analyses were used to address the research questions. This study detected no relationship between well-being and happiness in this sample.
