EMPLOYEE ACQUISITION AS A FACTOR IN STRENGTHENING ORGANISATION RESILIENCE

Abstract

The volatility, complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity of processes and phenomena in the surroundings cause public, commercial and social organisations alike to seek ways to strengthen resilience. Taking into account, one of the characteristics of an organization - equifinality - various paths to achieve it are possible. Among others, increasing the organisation's resilience is linked to leadership, building community and trust, attention to individual development, and the teamwork that goes into it. These activities can lead to an increase in candidate interest in the organisation and elevate the motivation and commitment of its employees.

The military, as an organisation with a clearly outlined mission, acting for the benefit of society, characterised by certain attributes of an employer, attracts the attention of representatives of different generations. When competing for candidates in the labor market, it has to face a number of challenges in the environment, including those related to the implementation of new technologies to improve the efficiency of processes and maintain its status as an attractive employer. The article presents selected results of research on citizens' perceptions of the attributes of the military as an employer, the sources where information about the military as a workplace can be found, as well as the motives of potentially mobile-aged people when considering joining the service or taking up employment.

Research utilising theoretical and empirical methods was carried out using Statistica v. 13.3 and R/RStudio v. 4.02.
