“…According to Goodwin et al (2018) team effectiveness has been a significant focus of military research for decades in order to guarantee that military teams have the human skills necessary to effectively fulfil their tasks and handle future problems. This further confirms by the findings of Fors -Brandebo et al (2022). According to Fors -Brandebo et al…”

The development of human resource management has alarmed the enhancement of performance outcomes. Employee job performance is one main consequences of employee engagement. Employee engagement is all about employee’s head, heart and hand involvement of his/her job as well as his/her organization. Therefore employee engagement has become a buzz word in the management circles. Other than the employee job performance, engaged employee is loyal, creative, innovative and a good team players. They are the people who take extra effort in-order to achieve the organizational goals. In the military context these characteristics are crucial. Consequently engaged employee is vital to the military context as well. National security, diplomatic relations and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) are the traditional roles of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Sri Lanka due to its island geography, Sri Lanka Navy has an especial responsibility for maritime defence. The Identified research gap is that, there is no empirical evidence about the level of employee engagement in the Sri Lanka Navy. Through a thorough quantitative study, the identified empirical and population gap was bridged. This is a descriptive study. Unit of analysis is individual i.e. officers in Sri Lanka Navy. The sample size is 108 Navy officers. Extent of the researcher interference with the study is minimal. Study setting is non-contrived. Type of investigation is correlation. Cross-sectional is the time horizon of the study. An instrument with 12 statements was used. Reliability of the instrument is also ensured. Actively/highly engaged, engaged, moderately engaged, dis-engaged and actively disengaged are the five levels of employee engagement. The results indicate that the level of employee engagement in the Sri Lanka Navy belongs to level ‘four’ on a five-point scale, which is ‘Engaged’.

Vitamin D supplementation plays a crucial role in managing Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) by modulating the immune response, reducing inflammation, and maintaining bone health. Research suggests a clear association between low vitamin D levels and increased disease activity in RA patients. As indicates, addressing vitamin D deficiency is paramount in preventing bone-related complications and improving overall health outcomes in RA. While the benefits of vitamin D supplementation in RA are promising, optimal dosage and duration of supplementation remain subjects of debate. Personalized treatment strategies based on individual patient factors are essential for effective management. Future research directions should focus on larger clinical trials to determine precise dosages and explore potential combination therapies to enhance RA management. Collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals and researchers are critical to establishing definitive guidelines for clinical practice in this field. Conclusion:In conclusion, the role of Vitamin D in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is essential for managing disease progression and symptoms effectively. Research consistently demonstrates the impact of Vitamin D deficiency on increased disease activity in RA patients, highlighting the significance of maintaining adequate levels of this crucial nutrient. Vitamin D supplementation has the potential to modulate the immune response, reduce inflammation, and support bone health, offering promising benefits for RA management. However, optimal dosage and duration of supplementation remain subjects of debate, emphasizing the need for standardized guidelines and personalized interventions. Continued research efforts are necessary to determine the most effective strategies for incorporating Vitamin D supplementation into RA treatment protocols, considering individual patient characteristics and potential interactions with other medications. Collaborative approaches among healthcare professionals and researchers are crucial for advancing our understanding of the intricate relationship between Vitamin D and RA, ultimately optimizing patient outcomes and quality of life.

“…While work engagement (Bakker et al, 2008) resembles the construct of work effectiveness, work engagement is comprised of psychological factors that predict work effectiveness (Macey & Schneider, 2008). A review of studies conducted in the military context have found that cohesion and leadership predict work performance (Fors Brandebo et al, 2022). In addition, meta-analyses of research on perceived organizational support have found associations with task performance (Riggle et al, 2009) and in-role performance (Kurtessis et al, 2017).…”

Occupational models of soldier health have emphasized the importance of conceptualizing adjustment to stressful events in terms of positive outcomes, not just the absence of negative outcomes. However, research on adjustment following deployment has primarily examined negative outcomes, and comparatively little attention has been paid to identifying factors associated with positive outcomes following combat deployment. To better understand predictors of positive adjustment, we analyzed surveys from 550 soldiers administered four months and seven months following a combat deployment to assess how changes in perceived leadership quality, unit cohesion, and perceived organizational support affected three indices of positive adjustment: agency, work effectiveness, and life satisfaction. At the bivariate level, unit cohesion, leadership, and perceived organizational support were positively associated with all three indicators of positive adjustment. Longitudinal difference score models with the three occupational factors included simultaneously revealed that changes in unit cohesion were positively associated with agency and life satisfaction, changes in ratings of non-commissioned officer leadership were positively associated with change in all three well-being outcomes, and changes in perceived organizational support were positively associated with agency and work effectiveness. Findings highlight the importance of cohesion, leadership, and organizational support for enhancing positive outcomes among recently deployed soldiers.
