Ekologizacja personelu wojskowego

PL

Kluczowym elementem aktywności zawodowej żołnierzy w armii jest służba. Bezpieczeństwo narodowe, pomoc humanitarna i pomoc w przypadku katastrof oraz stosunki dyplomatyczne to konwencjonalne role trzech sił zbrojnych: wojska, marynarki wojennej i sił powietrznych. Jest to widoczne zwłaszcza w czasie pokoju, kiedy organizacje wojskowe koncentrują się na szkoleniu żołnierzy i rozwijaniu swoich sił. Obecnie pojawia się tendencja do ochrony środowiska naturalnego lub wykonywania przez personel wojskowy obowiązków związanych z ekologizacją. Głównym celem niniejszego opracowania jest określenie zrównoważonej orientacji wśród personelu wojskowego. Niniejszy artykuł ma również na celu zaprezentowanie narzędzia do pomiaru zachowań związanych z ekologizacją, jakim jest badanie jej poszczególnych wymiarów i elementów.

When serving as military personnel, doing one’s duty is a fundamental aspect. National security, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and diplomatic relations are the conventional roles of the Army, Navy and Air Force. This is evident especially during peacetime as military organizations are focused on training and development. Presently, there is an emerging trend to protect the natural environment or perform duties in relation to greening by military personnel. The main aim of this conceptual paper is to identify green orientation among military personnel. This paper also seeks to present an instrument to measure the construct of green work behavior by exploring its dimensions and elements.
