ABSTRACT
This study aimed to ascertain the extent to which military identity envisages military performance in the Lithuanian military. The study involved cadets from the Lithuanian Military Academy and investigated whether military achievements and attitudes - which were evaluated by military skills, general military competence, and organisational commitment - can be predicted on the basis of military identity. The study hypotheses are tested using the statistical software package SPSS v29 and Hayes's (2022) PROCESS macro program (version 3.5). This study provides a better understanding of the relationship by showing that education and psychological cadet training have unique value. It finds that what is extremely positive is an overall effect of psychological resilience that influences the perceived military performance of the cadets. Furthermore, the modelling results enhance our understanding of military identity role and are likely to be useful for the future military officers' professional development.
