Analysis of the incentive system in uniformed structures
Serving in structures focused on the implementation of security and defence activities requires specific competences - not only knowledge and skills, but above all commitment to the mission. This action largely depends on the level of personal motivation, which is shaped by the value system and support tools used by the organisation.
The specific nature of Armed Forces institutions shapes a unique model of organisational behaviourwhich determine the ability to perform the assigned functions. At the same time, this model determines the scope of competences to be need military services, posing specific challenges to the human resources management system.
The article therefore addresses a key issue in maintaining the organisational efficiency of the military in the modern state. The authors point to the role of the organisational culture of military formations and analyse in detail the impact of motivational tools - particularly economic ones - on the attitudes, commitment and identity of Polish Army soldiers.
The researchers attempted to assess motivational practices in the military based on the literature and the results of their own research. The aim of the study was to show how the motivational system affects the effectiveness and readiness of uniformed personnel - both individually and organisationally. We encourage you to readings:
