| dc.description.abstract | Motivation of military personnel is a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness and combat readiness of a modern army. It has a direct impact on morale, commitment and performance, determining their ability to perform effectively in challenging environments. Understanding the motivational factors that drive military personnel to join the army, continue their service, or achieve high performance is important for strategic planning and maintaining the effectiveness of defense structures. Existing research on motivation in the military sphere is mainly focused on armies involved in conflicts on the territory of other states, such as peacekeeping missions or interventions abroad. However, such results often do not take into account the specifics of armies operating in the defense of their own territory, where the stakes are much higher both at the individual and collective level. This paper examines the impact of material and non-material incentives on military personnel motivation, with a focus on comparing the effectiveness of different types of incentives, such as cash bonuses, social benefits, medals, and career opportunities, as well as non-material factors such as recognition, team support, and psychological resilience. The study complements the existing work on motivational factors by analyzing their effectiveness in modern conditions and comparing theoretical models with empirical data. The methods used include a literature review and surveys of military personnel, which allows us to offer recommendations for increasing mobilization efficiency, improving service conditions, and reducing the level of unauthorized abandonment of units. The results showed that material incentives meet the basic needs of military personnel and are critical, but their effectiveness is reduced without the support of non-material aspects. Non-material incentives, such as recognition, team support, and leadership from commanders, have a lasting positive impact on morale and performance. Unit cohesion and social support also significantly reduce stress levels and increase combat effectiveness. | |
