RECRUITMENT, TRAINING AND RETENTION OF MILITARY PERSONNEL – A PSYCHOSOCIAL PERSPECTIVE –

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses, in an integrated way, three of the most pressing issues of the military body, which concern human resources: recruitment, training and retention of personnel and, after a psychological analysis of the three elements, concrete solutions are proposed for their development. In addressing these issues, we started with the description of the psychosocial profile of the military organisation and from the hypothesis that the optimal efficiency of the operation of the military organisation is given by a series of three interconnected processes: recruitment, training and retention of personnel. In this sense, based on exhaustive research, the factors influencing the reference processes from a psychological and social point of view were evaluated and realistic, pragmatic and specific solutions to improve recruitment, training and retention were sought. Therefore, the article reveals both the biggest problems and the solutions of recruitment, training and personal retention.
