Abstract
This editorial is a summary of the result of the research on “Recruitment Strategy for Military Operational Personnel” The experience of the eight-year imposed war and the neutralization of the internal clashes by the military forces after the victory of the Islamic Revolution proved that some percentage of the operational personnel encountered problems engaging with the enemy. It was then admitted that they had not taken up the right job to occupy for their life.
Accordingly, the researcher attempted to study the type of personalities that fit these kinds of high-risk engagements, with a view of screening the right persons before they are employed for such high-risk operations. Recruiting the individuals rightly fitting the job would ensure that the work done for their improvement will be highly efficient, as intended by the rule of “Compatible Work Environment with Personality Type” for employees “efficiency”, corresponding with the most important factor of “Combat Readiness” as reckoned in the military organizations. Besides military personnel, the research was extended to other high-risk areas including firefighters maybe other rescue workers, and the findings maybe recommended for all such instances.
No need to emphasize that individual’s personality matching with the job, brings the strongest relation with the enhancement of whole organizational efficiency and effectiveness, which, in turn, means optimizing in the use of the whole resources in the organization.
This research has been identified a backdrop of 82 factors as connected with efficiency, “Personality Fitness with the Job” among them being chosen for expounding.
Examining this factor, it was resolved that out of the 16 types, introduced by Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs, types ESTP, ISTJ, and ISTP are the best one with regards to the operational personnel and should be taken into consideration in the course of selections and recruitment
