Abstract

Military organizational culture is distinctive in a peacetime mode of operation, but incomparably authentic in wartime periods. The typical characteristics of situational ambiguity, physical exhaustion and escalating danger to human life characterize the leader’s approach to applying technologies for command and control of subordinate formations as a non-trivial process. The purpose of the report is to present the main effects of the increasing digitization of management in modern society on leadership behavior, perceptions and decision-making both in the context of military operations and in everyday peaceful environments. The content of the development is overview-analytical in nature. The results of national and foreign language studies are presented with an emphasis on examining the influence of technology in its role of support or limitation for the effective implementation of leadership and command functions. Given the lack of scientific works in the considered context, the present development can serve as a systematized theoretical basis for the formulation of research models and their empirical verification.
