What is it about?
The aim of the study was to investigate military officers’ perceptions of the implicit expectations the organisation has for the officer’s private life and what implications it may have for gender norms at the organisation, family and individual levels. The findings identified several perceived expectations for the military officer's private life, including prioritizing organizational demands. It also identified military officers’ perceptions of the adaptive behaviors the couple regularly perform which allows the military officer to be able to engage in work that sustains the organisation. Practical implications of this research may be useful for education purposes and for the use of organisation development for improved recognition of the role of the military officer's partner and/or the family in organisation sustainability.
