A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COLLECTIVE SOLIDARITY AND COMBAT ROLE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Collective solidarity develops among actors who occupy similar positions on dimensions of risk, status, and authority, and influences combat role performance according to the degree of risk entailed in the combat situation. The element of risk is a principal determinant of the normative standards of military organization. Combat events increase the significance of collectivities of risk, induce a minimal compliance with the role requirements of the external system, and provide functional consistency to the structure of the organization.
