Abstract
Australian Army soldiers' motivation for engaging in the behaviour which underpins the four core Army values of Courage, Initiative, Respect, and Teamwork is theoretically explored in this paper. Drawing on organisational culture theory and self-determination theory, we highlight a gap between Army's existing organisational culture and 'Future Army's' (Commonwealth of Australia, 2012) intended organisational culture. We argue that this gap holds implications for the achievement of Future Army and that, subsequently, the propositions put forth in this paper warrant exploration into the existing culture of Army. Specifically, it is argued that the actual values fostered by existing Army culture and the CIRT values espoused by existing Army culture, and moreover of Future Army culture, are different.
