- This study examined the associations among changes in military organizational context and changes in positive adjustment for Soldiers who had recently returned from deployment. At 4 months (T1) and 7 months (T2) after deployment to Afghanistan, 550 Soldiers self-reported their perceptions of unit cohesion (i.e., cooperation, dependability among unit members), noncommissioned officers (NCOs) and commissioned officers' leadership quality (e.g., praised good work), and organizational support (i.e., the military cares about Soldiers) as well as their own agency (i.e., pursuing and meeting goals), work effectiveness (e.g., productivity), and life satisfaction. Overall, Soldiers who reported increases in military organizational context tended to report increases in scores concerning their own positive adjustment.
