“…Typically, prospective conscripts get to be familiar with the army well before their draft, due to their frequent encounters with its representatives at military sites, but mostly due to the prominence of the IDF in Israeli society and to the widespread familiarity with its image and practice (Ben‐Eliezer, 1995; Horowitz & Lissak, 1989; Shalom & Horenczyk, 2004). Virtually the whole of the young generation in Israel is “familiar” with the IDF.…”

A longitudinal field study conducted in a military setting examined the effects of exchange ideology, pre-entry Perceived Organisational Support, and their interaction, on initial and long-term committed behavior. The effect of exchange ideology was compared to that of a solidly validated biodata score which was assessed with a structured interview. The sample consisted of 1,276 conscripts to military service. Results showed that exchange ideology had effects on both initial and long-term committed behavior; these effects were stronger than those of pre-entry Perceived Organisational Support, and comparable to those of the biodata structured interview.a pps_393 339..359

“…For the past years, there is an increasing number of studies looking at the other identity formation, such as ethnic identity [12,29,52,56,82,88,[123][124][125]. However, there still lack of available studies focus on the antecedents of food identity formation [56,126] and none is using Malaysia as the contextual study setting [127].…”

“…At the same time, the fact that the students in our study spent their formative years in the educational system of the Soviet Union is significant in understanding their critical attitude to military service and the warrior ethos. Compared to the immigrants in our study, those who were educated in the Israeli local education system are more committed to military service (Ben Shalom andHorenczyk 2004, Remennick 2007, p. 107).…”

The paper explores the mutual relation between cultural citizenship and national homecoming. Using the case study of Russian-Jewish immigrants in Israel, it refines the theoretical debate over cultural citizenship by showing how homecoming migration shapes the homecomers' bargaining power over the local cultural tenets. In particular, the research examines the ways in which the 'Russian' immigrants negotiate the national ethos of homecoming that constitutes the Israeli civic, discursive field, while dismantling it into its root components: affinity to the place, collective memory, and the warrior ethos. Each of these components constitutes a sphere of action that embodies the tension between Israeliness and Jewishness, nationalism and citizenship, and the personal and the collective. Our main contention is that in the case of homecoming migration, the inextricable affinity between citizenship and nationalism shapes the homecomers' cultural citizenship: on the one hand, it secures their right to participate in the local cultural discourse and avails bargaining power, while on the other hand, it neutralizes the homecomers' subversive voice, and reduces their capacity to undermine the constitutive, national tenets. The analysis is based on immigration stories gathered via in-depth interviews that were conducted with 43 Jewish university students who immigrated to Israel from the former USSR in the beginning of the 1990s.
