Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2013, Vol 170, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents the conclusions of the analysis of the current state and the directions of improving the process of managing the careers of professional soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces. It presents the results of research and analyses undertaken as part of a two-stage research project WZ/742/DzS, which was conducted by the authors in WSOWL between 2008 and 2011. As a result of these works, two studies were created: The determinants of careers and the methodology of research on the effectiveness of the system of development of the cadre in the Polish Armed Forces and The analysis of the human resources policy of the Ministry of National Defense in managing the careers of professional soldiers and directions for its improvement.These studies, in addition to the analysis of the literature in the field of modern human resources management, focused on the following issues: 1) an analysis of career management solutions in selected NATO armies (American, German, French and Spanish), 2) the development of methodological assumptions for field research in the area of knowledge and quality of solutions regarding career management of professional soldiers in the Polish Armed Forces, 3) an analysis of the system of the development of the cadre in the Polish Armed Forces (as of 2012) and the formulation of guidelines for its improvement.This article is to diagnose the key criteria for designing careers of professional soldiers based on the current system of issuing performance reports and the rules of receiving postings and being discharged from them. The article is critical of the official practice in this area, paying attention to the problem of scale, but also to the lack of reliable rules for the selection of candidates for selected (including the key ones for the Armed Forces) posts. The main finding of the study is the postulate of forming, as part of personnel (HR) policy, a central careers office responsible for the implementation of the personnel policy of the Ministry of National Defence in the area of the effective forecasting of the development of the cadre and the monitoring of its effectiveness.
