| description | Military organization is a unique social institution as regards its organization, structuredness and interpersonal relations, which are determined by the nature of its raison d'etre - armed struggle. Subordination, hierarchy, lower participation of subordinates in the decision making, and the limited communication network are typical of any army. However, military organizations do not renounce the potential of any individual, their capabilities, knowledge and skills. Given the fact that the military activity is governed by laws, rules and regulations, the question arises of how to provide personal initiative of all members of the armed forces, which is necessary in the contemporary environments, but is seemingly at odds with the chain of command. The paper presents assertiveness as a style of communication in which the attitudes, desires, opinions and beliefs of a speaker are stated in a socially acceptable manner. It discusses the possibility that assertive behavior and communication contribute to the effectiveness of communication in the military organization. Using survey research conducted among officers, it points to the situations and the way in which assertive communication can contribute to the use of personal potential of the armed force members in the performance of its functions. |
