Security Culture and Morale: Determinants of Effective Operation of Uniformed Services

Abstract

Concerning the issues of the importance of morale for functioning of individuals and professional groups functioning patterns is extremely practically useful strand of analysis of social functioning of a person living in the conditions of modern civilization. Behaviour patterns are interpreted as repeatable and predictable sequences of ways of behaviour. The concept of pattern assumes a certain, usually positive, method of its evaluation. We most often talk about patterns in model categories as of certain ways of functioning, which really are worth following and promoting. In such context formulation of adaptability should apply to behaviours that are positively evaluated and considered as appropriate ways of interaction with the environment. A behaviour pattern can be interpreted in some isolation from the evaluation of its components and a pattern as a system. From this point of view the concept of pattern is understood as a set, collection or system of behaviours of repeating nature in the operation of individuals and requiring the use of additional criteria that allow to evaluate it.
