Abstract

Korea is facing a population cliff and a decline in the fertility rate, and the competition rate for recruiting officers in our military is rapidly decreasing every year. This situation is a serious problem in terms of national security and requires efforts to obtain excellent manpower. To this end, it is necessary to understand their occupational values through consideration of the MZ generation, which is the main recruitment target of the military, and to find diagnosis and solutions for each problem by closely analyzing the military's internal and external environment based on their understanding of soldiers as a job. Therefore, we diagnose the current situation in consideration of military specificity, examine the occupational values of the MZ generation, which is a resource for military officers recruitment. Since the subject of military officer acquisition is the MZ generation, efforts are needed to focus on occupational values of MZ generations.

우리나라는 인구절벽과 출산율 저하에 직면하고 있으며, 우리 군은 장교 모집 경쟁률이 해마다 급격하게 감소하고 있다. 이러한 상황은 국가안보 측면에서 심각한 문제이며 우수 인력획득을 위한 노력이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 군의 주요 모집대상인 MZ세대에 대한 세심한 고찰을 통한 그들의 직업가치를 파악하고, 직업으로서의 군인에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 군 내·외적 환경을 면밀하게 분석하여 문제별 진단과 해결책을 찾아야 한다. 이에 우리는 군 특수성을 고려하여 현 실태를 진단하고, 군의 장교 모집대상 자원인 MZ세대가 추구하는 주요 직업 선택 요인을 살펴봄과 동시에 외국군 사례를 분석하여 군 장교 모집 경쟁률 향상방안을 제시한다. MZ세대를 대상으로 군 장교를 확보하고 장기적으로 활용하기 위해서는 이들이 추구하는 직업 가치를 충족시키는 종합적인 개선 노력이 필요하다.
