Uwarunkowania sprawnego przeprowadzania zmian w organizacji wojskowej

The article deals with one of the key problems connected with the Polish Armed Forces restructuring, i.e. the way and methods to conduct changes in military organisations. Taking use of interdisciplinary knowledge, particularly from management and command theory, there have been presented concepts, principles, methods and research tools adjusted to military organisations that not only can improve the process of conducting changes in military structures but at the same time guarantee their effectiveness. The theoretical bases of the process of conducting changes have been defined, the stages of this process and their explanations have been described. A special attention has been drawn to these elements which were seldom considered or noticed in the process of changes such as appropriate preparation to forthcoming changes of human teams or the evaluation of the changes effectiveness. The article also presents practical solutions concerning the following problems: how to use resources rationally in the implementation process; what criteria to take to evaluate the effectiveness of changes; how to measure the qualitative effects of changes; how to counteract resistance towards changes; how to shape positive attitudes towards changes.
