Summary / Abstract:

LTStraipsnyje analizuojama Lietuvos kariuomenės karių tarnybos motyvacija remiantis jų nuomone. Suformuluojama karių tarnybos motyvacijos teorinė prieiga, akcentuojama vertybių reikšmė motyvacijos procese, išskiriami lūkesčiai, remiantis V. H. Vroom lūkesčių teorija, kurie sąlygoja nuolatinę privalomąją karo tarnybą atliekančių karių tarnybos motyvaciją. Remiantis atlikto tyrimo analize teigiama, kad esama karių tarnybos motyvacijos sistema patys kariai patenkinti tik iš dalies. Taip pat tyrimo rezultatai įgalina patvirtinti suformuluotą hipotezę, leidžiančią teigti, kad savanoriškai ir privaloma tvarka atliekančių NPPKT karių tarnybos motyvacija skiriasi, kadangi jų karo tarnybą sąlygojantys lūkesčiai nėra tapatūs.

ENMotivated military service in joint development and ensuring the capabilities of country’s military security is related to serving soldiers who implement military security strategies and determine qualitative results and efficiency of performed activities. Currently applied factors of motivation in the Lithuanian National Defence System are abstract and non-specific. Furthermore, there are too little researches or studies to justify the (un)successful results of current motivation system. Recognizing the importance of motivation for military service, there is a need to look for theoretical and empirical assurances which, as a starting point, would allow to assess the motivation. In Lithuania, the Continuous Mandatory Initial Military Service (CMIMS) is based not only on the principle of volunteering but also on coercion (the laws provide for punishment for avoiding CMIMS); therefore, in addition to volunteer soldiers, there are conscript soldiers as well. It should be noted that in comparison with 2015, the number of conscripts in the CMIMS has been increasing. The authorities do not just impose sanctions but also encourage soldiers to engage in joint activities. In order to get them involved, it is necessary to find out their expectations and reasons determining their decision to participate or remain passive in service. The scientific and practical problem is formulated by the following questions: what determines the motivation of soldiers in the CMIMS and how do they evaluate present motivation system used by the Lithuanian Armed Forces? The results of the local empirical research revealed that the respondents are partly satisfied with current motivation system. Upon assessing the results of the quantitative research and limiting it to the identified institutional and pragmatic motives, it is concluded that the motivation for the CMIMS is based on the institutional type of motivation.Motivation for military service is particularly influenced by volunteers joining military service. The comparison of the motivation of volunteers and conscripts in the CMIMS in the same appointments revealed a statistically significant difference. The volunteers were more satisfied with their service and had a better opinion of it; they were more motivated to achieve good results, their attitude towards the National Defence Volunteer Forces was more favourable and they considered further professional service. Finally, it was found that the expectations of the CMIMS soldiers were only partially met. Realizing that soldiers will pursue their goals only if they meet their expectations, it is important to look for different ways to motivate military service. When looking for a solution to improve the motivation for military service, it should be noted that attention should be paid to material and non-material promotion of the service, more qualified staff, the quality of exercise, provision and motivation itself. While analyzing the motivation for military service, there is room for experts and scientists to make suggestions and put forward their recommendations to improve the results of military motivation.
