Indonesian Air Force building its management style: prioritising the triangulation of adaptive structuration, organisational commitment and readiness

This study investigates how the Indonesian Air Force (IAF) manages its soldiers and civilians (military members) so they are always in an organisationally motivating achievement state, especially for their final objective of being combat-ready. Then, it observes the IAF's top executives and emphasises adaptive structuration, organisational commitment and readiness. Furthermore, this study reveals some distinctive argumentation explaining its novelties. First, this study shows that the IAF can strengthen its organisational integrality by adopting the philosophies of Swa Bhuwana Paksa and Sapta Marga. Second, it considers that the IAF should apply these theoretical concepts comprehensively to gain enhanced organisational beliefs, commitment and readiness. Third, this research demonstrates that the IAF's practices promise adequate certainty to develop the military members' constructive morale for combat readiness through organisational commitment and readiness for change. Consequently, this ordered implementation reveals the construction of the army members' cognitive behaviour and occupancy, individually and organisationally.
