Milestones of Individual Resilience Based on Technology Orientation Among Junior Military Leaders

Given that organizations are increasingly interested in finding new ways to enhance resilience in a world dominated by technological drivers that manifest on an unprecedented scale, the interdependence between leadership and technology becomes an issue that must be explored in relation to the specificity of an organization in terms of processes and human resources, mainly. Building resilience among junior officers is a relevant concern for military organizations seeking to prepare personnel for operational uncertainty and technological change. The research aim is to explore relations between resilience and technology in the framework of military leadership processes. This research falls within this thematic framework, focusing specifically on military personnel at the beginning of their careers—a subfield closely related to the social sciences—with significant potential to offer best practices in organizational leadership, that support resilience-aligned organizational practices. Thus, the results obtained are valuable both from an educational and a practical standpoint, primarily within the context of Romania’s military organization transformation. Based on a survey conducted in early 2026, using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings show that resilience beliefs and orientation among junior military leaders are shaped primarily by organizational and technological perceptions rather than by individual characteristics.
