Compensation of Active Reserve: Does the Current System Motivate Frequent Training?
Compensation of Active Reserve: Does the Current System Motivate Frequent Training?

Summary/Abstract: The Active Reserve currently represents, in effect, the only organized reserve force of the Czech Armed Forces. Given this, it is necessary to ensure that members of the Active Reserve have both the opportunity and motivation to train sufficiently often. Financial compensation is, of course, among the key motivational factors—both for joining the (voluntary) reserves and for active participation in training. Our text analyzes the current remuneration system for members of the Active Reserve and highlights several problematic aspects that may reduce the willingness of reservists to train for more than 14–21 days per year. Based on this analysis, we propose an alternative compensation system that would address the shortcomings of the current one.
