註釋"Canada's defence establishment is a unique organization, comprising two distinct institutions: the civilian-led department of National Defence (DND), headed by the Deputy Minister of National Defence, and the military-led Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), headed by the Chief of the Defence Staff. In practice, however, civilian and military personnel - collectively referred to as the Defence Team - work side by side in a variety of contexts, including on bases, on operations, in military academic setttings and at National Defence Headquarters. These highly integrated workforces allow Canada's defence extablishment to draw on the complementary expertise of military and civilian personnel. Nonetheless, some fundamental differences exist between the military and civilian institutions, most notably separate personnel management systems and distinct cultures that reflect the different histories, values, roles and policies of Defence civilians and CAF members. Understanding the unique benefits and challenges associated with this integrated workforce is therefore critical to optimal military-civilian personnel collaboration. This volume presents conceptual, empirical and historical analyses of the key contextual, organizational and interpersonal factors that influence collaboration between civilian and military personnel in DND and the CAF. The volume will appeal to a diverse audience, including Defence Team personnel, senior leaders in DND and the CAF, human resource professionals, military managers of civilian personnel and civilian managers of military personnel, and a more general audience interested in workgroup and organizational diversity. The volume furthers our understanding of military-civilian partnerships and will contribute to the discourse on the evolution of the Defence Team within Canada."--Back cover.
