摘要

This paper focuses on employee motivation factors in military organizations.In the context of the special mission of the military profession,military leadership is approached in an effort to demonstrate the importance and necessity of its ethical dimension in relation to employee motivation.On the motivation factors related to employee personality traits,the paper seeks to demonstrate—through Aristotle’s philosophical reasoning(virtue ethics)—that military virtues have to define each member of the Armed Forces in order to fulfill his/her mission.The methodology part of this paper uses the method of interview with permanent officers of the Hellenic Armed Forces in order to prove the strong relationship between ethical leadership,virtue ethics,and employee motivation in the military.
