“…Furthermore, the findings contribute to the body of research evidencing the multidimensional nature of military identity. Importantly, the current study highlights the protective and inhibiting effects of military identity to both social connectedness and wellbeing that may otherwise be obfuscated by a unidimensional focus on military identity [ 17 , 18 , 50 , 51 , 67 ].…”

“…Although scarce, scale development research viewing military identity as a multidimensional construct has expanded on earlier findings by investigating aspects of military identity that may support or inhibit veteran wellbeing [ 17 , 18 , 50 , 51 , 67 ]. Johansen et al [ 67 ] developed the culturally specific multidimensional identity scale to assess aspects of military identity central to national and military culture among serving Norwegian Armed Forces.…”

Military identity and a sense of social connectedness may help explain differences in contemporary veteran wellbeing following transition from military to civilian life. However, it is unclear how these constructs interrelate. The current study quantitatively explored the role of social connectedness in the relationship between military identity and subjective wellbeing among contemporary ex-serving Australian Defence Force veterans. To facilitate analyses, data from 358 veterans were used to first explore the suitability of the factor structure of the Warrior Identity Scale. Subsequently, the potential moderating and mediating effects of social connectedness in the relationship between military identity and wellbeing were explored via path analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Warrior Identity Scale revealed support for the multidimensional construct of military identity, and a revised six-factor measurement model was found suitable for further path analysis. Consistent with past research, social connectedness positively related to quality of life and negatively related to psychological distress. There was no support for a moderation effect of social connectedness. However, results indicated military identity indirectly influenced wellbeing and distress via differential relationships with social connectedness. Specifically, private and public regard for the military and not feeling like an outsider positively related to social connectedness. In contrast, interdependence with other veterans, viewing the military as family, and the centrality of military identity negatively related to social connectedness. The results suggest nurturing the protective aspects of military identity and addressing inhibitory aspects of military identity may support a sense of social connectedness and wellbeing among ex-serving veterans.

“…Van Dick et al (2005) also summarized that identi cation plays an important role in work-related attitudes and behavior, and that the emotional component of identi cation is probably the best predictor of performance. Further he argues that the main prediction of SIT for organizational contexts is that the more an individual de ne him-or herself in terms of membership in an organizational group (as for instance the Armed Forces) the more his or her attitudes and behaviors are governed by this group membership (14).…”

The aim of the present study was to explore psychological distress experienced by Iranian military personnel. Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted on 15 Iranian military personnel. Purposeful sampling was used to select the participants and continued until data saturation was reached. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and then the qualitative data were analyzed through direct content analysis. Results: By analyzing show 395 primary codes, 2 main categories, including demands and resources were extracted from the experiences of military members. The categories included several sub-categories, which were classified according to their significant characteristics. Findings of this study ascertain that different factors affect the military member’s psychological distress.Conclusions: Military organization and leaders should consider the factors of psychological distress that raised by specialists, and assign policies to improve their mental health. According to the present results, it is recommended that the process of psychological distress in military members be investigated further.

“…Se pueden encontrar estudios referentes al engagement en la vertiente del compromiso laboral de los militares. Algunos se centran en los antecedentes del compromiso (Alarcon et al, 2010), mientras otros lo relacionan con el concepto de identidad militar (Johansen et al, 2015) o con el liderazgo y los comportamientos de ciudadanía organizacional (Pastor et al, 2019). Asimismo, se han realizado publicaciones sobre el compromiso de los militares que estudian en centros superiores no militares (Jordan, 2016), evaluados por la encuesta NSSE.…”

Esta investigación explora la importancia de los valores universales de Schwartz, el nivel de compromiso académico y la relación entre estos en cadetes de escuelas militares del Perú. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta estructurada a 1282 cadetes del Ejército y la Marina, analizada con ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales. Como resultado, tras establecer la validez y fiabilidad de las escalas, se encuentra una relación directa entre los valores y el compromiso académico para cada una de las muestras consideradas (muestra completa, Escuela del Ejército; Escuela Naval; cadetes hombres y mujeres). Se analizan las relaciones significativas existentes, por valores individuales y agrupados, y por dimensiones del compromiso. También se analizan las diferencias entre muestras en función de los cursos de la carrera militar en cada escuela y por sexo.
