Abstract

The object of the study is the process of choosing the optimal strategy for assessing a military serviceman.

The problem, which was being solved, is non-adaptability of the existing scientific approach to the necessity of taking into account the rapid transformation of functional responsibilities and long-term career planning when assessing military servicemen.

In terms of improving the approach of choosing the optimal strategy for assessing a military serviceman, the algorithm for choosing the appropriate strategy has been suggested. The algorithm is based on the application of optimal selection criteria (Laplace, Wald and Savage). The essence of the developed algorithm implies the level of uncertainty regarding the possible transformation of service functions, the possible transformation of service functions and acquired competencies.

The peculiarity of the developed algorithm is that it allows to take into account the long-term perspective of career development by considering the uncertainty in the process of transformation of service functions.

As part of improving the approach to choosing the optimal strategy for assessing a serviceman, the procedure for choosing the appropriate optimal strategy has been improved.

The peculiarity of the suggested procedure is that it is based on the identification of the level of uncertainty, the use of a tabular method for determining the correspondence of service functions to competencies, and the distribution of competencies on the basis of their acquisition. This procedure allows to increase the accuracy of determining the level of correspondence of a military serviceman’s competencies to service functions by 15% if no changes occur, and by 17% in case of minor changes and by 24% in case of fundamental changes. A distinctive feature of the procedure is the division of competencies into three groups: professional, general development, and acquired through experience.

The scope of practical application of the improved procedure is the management processes to ensure the effectiveness of HR management in the command-and-control bodies of military formations
