Essentially love is ideally needed for anyone who works. If the work performed has different characteristics in general from other work, one of them is TNI.
The task carried by the TNI soldiers was not an easy task but rather a task that demanded a great sacrifice. Because work as an army is a job that has a very high risk compared to other jobs.
Generally, the sacrifices of TNI soldiers to become soldiers realized or not actually started since the beginning of the individual decided to follow the process of selection of TNI soldiers. Meanwhile, structured and systemic love formation work in the military world has begun since the initial process of military education that was undertaken by the prospective TNI soldiers.
“It is one of the differentiators between military organizations and outside the military,” said Aulia, S. Psi., M. Psi, at the Faculty of Psychology UGM, Wednesday (24/7) while taking an open exam of Doctoral Program.
According to Aulia, the phenomenon of essence love work from TNI soldiers, especially elite forces are sacrificed for Mother Earth. The Mother Earth referred to in this case is not literally translated as homeland and or shed blood. Mother Earth is a national personification of Indonesia, which is the embodiment of the Indonesian homeland. The ultimate love of soldiers on this Mother Earth has meaning as a sincere unconditional love of a soldier to the Indonesia homeland.
“The implications of this love are the willingness of the soldiers to sacrifice anything in order to safeguard and protect Mother Earth through their work as a soldier. The love of soldiers to this Mother Earth is the basis for soldiers to willingly sacrifice whatever they have, either soul or body, “he said.
Sustaining a victim’s dissertation for Motherland: The Essence and dynamics of love for the elite forces of Indonesia, Aulia affirmed the love of work can be felt or possessed by someone even before they joined the army. This relates to an individual’s interest in the work before they become an army and this phase in research is termed a phase of attraction.
This phase explains the background of one’s interest in a job, in this case as an army soldier or as an elite force (special). Individual interest in a job is not separated from the value, purpose, motive, orientation, or needs of someone in the job.
“The results of this study depict that there are five levels of work meaning and the lowest degree of work is as a way to meet the needs of life, gain identity, gain self-esteem, perform competency exploration, and fulfill calls. The highest degree of work is when someone calls for a job as a call, “said Aulia, a lecturer at Faculty of Psychology, University of Ahmad Dahlan, Yogyakarta.
Therefore, it is concluded that the elite force of love work is based on the ultimate love of Mother Earth, and the love of work is conceptualized as a positive emotional relationship between workers and the work that occurs reciprocally, strong and has a deep meaning that is characterized by a sincere sacrifice when carrying out the work.
Love work can be felt or possessed by someone even before they join the army, while the love of work can be formed and nurtured, it can be erosion during the educational process or the process of undergoing work.
“For that, it takes a variety of personal efforts to keep the love of work constantly burning, to understand the work to have influence in predicting the love of soldiers to work, and to be understood when internal and external factors have a big role to cultivate, maintain, or even erosion the love of soldiers against the work,” he said.
