Capacity building: a study of organizational culture effects on fighter pilots training
Swedish Defence University.

Abstract [en]

The reality of modern military training is the rapprochement of nations and the construction of military alliances to enhance nations defense cooperation and expand capabilities. Preparing for this scenario of cultural diversity is the challenge in designing military training programs for different groups. While training has a basic structure, different cultural environments require different approaches.

Using a quantitative method, collected through a survey study, this thesis examines Brazilian and Swedish fighter pilots' perceptions of organizational culture and its impact on training. The flight simulator training environment was used for operationalization due to its characteristics of accessibility, fidelity to real operations, and flexibility in the training program. 

The results showed that organizational culture was identified with a statistically significant difference in the indexes of individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and indulgence between the two populations studied. This has implications for both training planning and capability management in the Air Force.
