ECONOMIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MATERIAL AND MORAL INCENTIVES FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL IN THE MODERNIZATION OF THE ARMED FORCES
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the material and moral incentives of military personnel in the process of modernizing
the Armed Forces. It examines the evolution of the concept of incentives from classical economic theories to contemporary
behavioral economics and economic psychology. Due to the unique nature of military service—risk, discipline, loyalty, and
collective cohesion—the paper emphasizes the importance of harmonizing material and non-material incentives. Advanced
international experiences, including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, NATO, and South Korea, are
analyzed in terms of their relevance to improving modern armed forces. The study highlights ongoing military reforms in
Uzbekistan, including enhanced social guarantees, improved salary systems, recognition mechanisms, and honorary titles,
demonstrating their importance for strengthening national defense capacity. The article conceptualizes incentives through the lens
of human capital development, labor productivity, and motivation theories, concluding that a comprehensive incentive system is
essential for effective military service and modern defense management.
