Abstract [sv]

Försvarsmakten ska öka både sin förmåga och antalet krigsförband. I krigsförbanden ingår en stor del reservofficerare. En reservofficer tjänstgör inte i Försvarsmakten på heltid utan tjänstgöringen är en bisyssla parallellt med annat arbete eller studier.Problemet är att det inte finns tillräckligt med reservofficerare för att fylla krigsförbandens behov. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar individen vid beslutet att bli reservofficer. Vi vill dessutom skapa en djupare förståelse för individens drivkraft att eftersträva dubbla karriärer, en civil och en militär.Genom en kvalitativ studie, omfattande semistrukturerade intervjuer, utforskar vi vad som har påverkat individer att vilja bli reservofficerare i Försvarsmakten. Det empiriska resultatet har tagits fram genom Grounded theory. Analysen har genomförts ur ett individ- och organisationsperspektiv utifrån drivkrafter, resurser och profession.Vi har i våra slutsatser kommit fram till att det är fyra faktorer som är viktigast vid valet att söka sig till en militär reservofficerskarriär.

Dessa fyra är:

• En positiv erfarenhet av värnpliktsutbildning.• Närhet till reservofficerare som förebilder under värnpliktsutbildning.• En positiv uppfattning om reservofficersprofessionen i samhället.• Möjligheten till en kombinerad karriär där den civila är i fokus.

Abstract [en]

Swedish Armed Forces is increasing both its defence capability and the number of war time units. A large amount of personnel in the war time units are reserve officers. A reserve officer does not serve in the Armed Forces full time, the service is a side job in parallel with other work or studies. The problem is that there are not enough reserve officers to fill the needs of the war time unitsThe main purpose with this study is to examine which factors affect the individual in their decision-making process on whether to become a reserve officer or not. We also want to create a deeper understanding of the individuals drive force to strive for double careers, a civilian and a military. Through a qualitative study, with semi-structured interviews, we explore what has influenced individuals to want to become reserve officers in the Swedish Armed Forces. The empirical result has been produced with the method Grounded theory. The analysis has been conducted from an individual and organizational perspective based on motivating forces, resources, and profession.We have come to four conclusions, which are the key factors for a military reserve officer career and thus also dual careers, the civilian and the military.

These four are

• A positive experience of conscription training.• Proximity to reserve officers as role models during conscription training.• A positive perception of the reserve officer profession in society.• Possibility for a combined career where the civilian career is the primary.
