ABSTRACT

This study is conducted to examine the effect of autonomy of soldiers on military management performance, namely combat power indicator, service satisfaction level, incidence rate. Purpose of the study is attained by literature research and empirical study. First, according to the theoretical background and previous studies, it is confirmed that autonomy of organizing members has a positive impact on service satisfaction and productivity and organizational culture has a strong influence on service satisfaction and job performance. Military culture has distinctive features that set them off from other community organizational culture. The Ministry of National Defence takes an intensive measure to improve exsiting culture of 'Regulation and acceptability' into a culture of 'Autonomy and Responsibility' in order to fulfill advanced military culture. The army is newly prosecuting such cultural change by executing several core tasks: ① Barrack life with the same grade ② Special warrior selection program ③ Self-improvement program after the daily task. This culture has decreased the stress of solders, increased their satisfaction, enhanced the quality of educational training, remained stable military base management, and so on. However, it showed the negative effects such like weakened team-work, limitation of initiating subordinates into a know-how of predecessors, deterioration of military discipline, tendency of individualism, and so on. Therefore, empirical studies are performed to examine the effects of autonomous military culture on military service satisfaction level and combat power. Based on the theoretical examination with preceding events, a statistics package SPSS17 is applied to perform empirical analysis. As a result, the autonomous military culture has a positive effect on military management performance. Hence additional examination into policy thesis is necessary in order to expand a degree of autonomous level. More in-depth studies on proper measurement factors and tools for military management performance should be in progress. Therefore, such research outcomes will greatly contribute to “Reinforcement of national defence through advanced military culture”
