Professional Development Programme

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present the results of a research which assessed whether the Knowledge Acquisition Programme and the Non-Commissioned Member Executive Professional Development Programme contributed to the Non-Commissioned Members’ effectiveness as senior leaders in the Profession of Arms within the Canadian Armed Forces. Thirty-seven Programme graduates from 2006 to 2015 received a questionnaire containing seven closed-ended general information questions and twelve open-ended programme/course specific questions. Seventeen graduates responded to the questionnaire. Manual coding was used to identify main themes and sub-themes. The research findings determined that both Programmes contributed to the effectiveness of senior leaders in the Profession of Arms within the Canadian Armed Forces. However, some caveats were expressed, and recommendations brought forward to enhance the Programme and to improve its future deliveries.

AbstractFor a long time, sociological analysis of professional work has differentiated professionalism as a special means of organizing work and controlling workers and in contrast to the hierarchical, bureaucratic and managerial controls of industrial and commercial organizations. But professional work is changing and being changed as increasingly professionals (such as doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers) now work in employing organizations; lawyers and accountants in large professional service firms (PSFs) and sometimes in international and commercial organizations; pharmacists in national (retailing) companies; and engineers, journalists, performing artists, the armed forces and police find occupational control of their work and discretionary decision-making increasingly difficult to sustain. This paper begins with a section on defining the field and clarifying concepts. This is followed by a second section on the concept of professionalism, its history and current developments. The third section discusses convergences between Anglo-American and Continental European systems of professions and the general, wider applicability of particular explanatory theories and analytical concepts in the field. Section four examines internationalizing processes affecting professions. Markets for professional services are increasingly international and professional regulation is now a matter for international professional federations as well as national and regional states. The final section provides summary and considers consequences for aspects of professionalism as an occupational value in the global world.

Military Physical Fitness

Research background and hypothesis. Since 2009 Lithuanian Armed Forces have been formed from soldiers in professional service. Research on military physical fitness in the Lithuanian Armed Forces is scarce. This research aims  at  verifying  the  hypothesis  that  physical  fitness  indices  of  soldiers  in  the  Land  Force  of  the  professional Lithuanian Armed Forces match the established physical fitness normative requirements.Research aim was to study peculiarities of changes in physical fitness results of soldiers of different age groups in the Land Force of the Lithuanian Professional Armed Forces in the period of two years. Research  methods:  literature  review,  physical  fitness  testing,  statistical  analysis  of  physical  fitness  indices. Results in each physical fitness exercise were evaluated in points according to physical fitness normative scales. The sum of points for all exercises was the final physical fitness evaluation result. Research results. In the period of half a year, from spring to autumn and from autumn to spring, physical fitness of soldiers in all age groups changed only slightly (p > 0.05). During the period of one year, from testing in spring till testing in spring of the following year, physical fitness indices improved (p < 0.05). Even 2–4% of soldiers failed physical fitness normative tests. Discussion and conclusions. Physical fitness indices of different exercise for soldiers in the Land Force of the professional Lithuanian Armed Forces were higher than the established minimal normative requirements. The highest physical fitness indices were achieved in the age groups of 18–21, 22–26, 27–31 and 30–36 years, however, the differences between the age groups were insignificant. In perspective, while developing military physical fitness control system, the evaluation of physical fitness should be differentiated according to the normative scale which includes such evaluations as “excellent”, “good”,  “fair”.Keywords: Land Force, physical fitness, testing, physical fitness test, age group, points.

The Future

V članku opisujemo prihodnost sistema karierne poti častnika v Slovenski vojski, in sicer za prvih deset let njegove kariere. Naš glavni namen je razviti predlagani sistem častniške karierne poti za Slovensko vojsko, ki bo zagotavljal določeno stopnjo predvidljivosti v častnikovi karieri in vključeval opredeljive kompetence ter razvoj konkurenčnega okolja za njegovo napredovanje. Osredotoča se na določanje ustreznih orodij za vse štiri funkcije upravljanja kadrov, ki so izvedljive in sprejemljive znotraj omejitev, ki jih postavlja zakonodaja. V članku je razložen sistem karierne poti častnika na podlagi štirih kadrovskih funkcij, ki so opredeljene kot zaposlitev, razvoj, napredovanje in prehod. Slovenska vojska na podlagi transformacije reorganizira svoje enote v polkovni sistem, v katerem imajo poveljniki čet čin majorja. To je eden izmed razlogov, zakaj v članku obravnavamo tudi sistem karierne poti častnika v britanski vojski, ki bi bil v nekaterih pogledih lahko primeren za novo strukturo Slovenske vojske. Poleg obravnave predlaganega sistema karierne poti za častnika so v članku navedeni tudi nekateri novi koncepti upravljanja kadrov, kot so izboljšan program zaposlovanja, razvrščanje v skupine po letih, odbori častnikov in nov sistem ocenjevanja. Vsi ti koncepti omogočajo v predlaganem sistemu častniške karierne poti uvedbo centraliziranega upravljanja kadrov ter zagotovitev pregledne in predvidljive karierne poti, ki temelji na sposobnostih posameznika. The article describes the future of the Officer Career Development (OCD) system in the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) for the first ten years of an officer’s career. The main purpose of the article is to develop a proposed OCD system for the SAF which will provide a certain level of predictability in an officer’s career and include identifiable competencies as well as develop a competitive environment for officer promotion. The article focuses on determining appropriate tools for all four functions of the personnel management, which are feasible and acceptable under the constraints provided by the legislation. The article defines the OCD system through four personnel functions defined as employment, development, promotion and transition. The SAF, through the transformation process, is reorganizing its units into a regimental system with company commanders being in the rank of major. This is one of the reasons the article also looks at the British Army (BA) OCD system which, in certain areas, could be applicable to the new structure of the SAF. The article discusses the proposed OCD system and introduces several new concepts in personnel management such as: improved employment programme, year group rankings, officer’s boards and new evaluation system. All these new concepts allow the proposed OCD system to introduce centralized execution of personnel management and provide a transparent and predictable career path, based on competencies of an individual.

As an employer, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland (AF RP) engage in modern market competition to win over the professional service recruits and military staff. Search and retention of properly trained personnel may help the Polish armed forces to carry out their tasks in efficiency way. The article shows the selected results of the pilot survey dealing with the image of the armed forces as perceived by the soldiers and the military employees. The survey has been carried out as an opinion poll to identify the attributes of the AF RP as an employer and to determine significance of these attributes for the soldiers and the military employees. Results of the survey indicate that the attributes that make the Polish army stand out as an employer at the labour market include: stable employment, professional development opportunities, teamwork orientation, challenges and high demands from the organisation members, relatively high remuneration, and sense of mission in striving to be useful to the society.

Insight Into

The relevance of this topic reflects the fact that individuals should understand the necessity of career change and the creation of individual portfolios. There is a universal understanding that the main characteristic of officers' career is vertical promotion. Officers' career is insufficiently investigated or researched, which includes a frequent change of jobs and assignments that are not related only to vertical career promotion. Both transfers and deployments of the Serbian Armed Forces Geodetic Service Officers (GSO), which are in scope of this paper, in regard to career accomplishment, represent the career matrix. The importance of research refers not only to officers' career, but it can be implemented for understanding and getting an insight into career development, in general, through the career matrix.

This study was conducted to evaluate planning in career development for lecturers with the status of TNI (Indonesian Armed Forces) soldiers at Indonesia Defense University (IDU). The evaluation adopted the Countenance Stake model which conceptualizes a description matrix containing intents and observations and a judgment matrix containing standards and judgments. The evaluation focused on regulatory bases, program supports, as well as monitoring and evaluation planned to support lecturers' careers. The qualitative design used in this study is supported by primary and secondary data obtained through literature studies, observations, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted through the interactive approach of Miles and Huberman in data display activities, data reduction, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that planning in career development for lecturers from Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) has been sufficiently supported by good results (84%), through basic support for external and internal policies, Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education comprising Education, Research and Community Service) program and supporting elements, as well as plans for monitoring and evaluating performance.
