정신전력교육이 장병 사기에 미치는 영향 : 주간정신전력교육과 계획된 행동이론(TPB)을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of military spirit education on soldiers' morale. Through the Planned Behavioral Theory, attitudes and behaviors of soldiers participating in weekly education were measured, and how these results affect soldiers' morale was analyzed. In addition, the importance and satisfaction of weekly military spirit education recognized by soldiers were analyzed, and improvement measures were prepared through the IPA methodology. The subjects of this study are 890 soldiers of Armed Forces. First of all, as a result of IPA analysis on military spirit education, "North Korean military capability," "South Korea-U.S. alliance," and "Advanced Military Culture Trusted by the people" were cited as "Focus Areas for Improvement." Next, the most urgent areas of education to be improved and introduced are education on military psychology and combat stress. As a result of regression and path analysis, the frequency of participation in Military Spirit education, attitudes toward education, efficacy, social norms, and behavioral intentions have a positive effect on the promotion of soldier morale. Through this, it was suggested that the weekly Military Spirit education is effective, and at the same time, it is necessary to understand the area of Military Spirit in a more multi-level in consideration of the characteristics of modern warfare. As can be seen from the IPA results, soldiers recognize not only education on the history and tactics of Armed Forces but also education on the human rights, personality, and trust of soldiers as necessary areas for strengthening military spirit. Above all, education on military psychology and combat stress is more in demand than anything else. As a result through this study, the educational system and environment are diagnosed, focusing on the perceptions and needs of soldiers who are consumers of weekly military spirit education, and its focus area for improvement are derived through IPA. In the future, a basic plan for mid-to long-term military spirit education is established to suggest the need to introduce evidence-based policies in its education.
