Abstract

Understanding the elements that influence military volunteering for peacekeeping missions, an activity as relevant to the world as it is dangerous for those involved, can be essential to the success of these operations, as motivation plays a crucial role in determining the degree of commitment, performance, and resilience of those involved. To this end, an integrative review was carried out, aiming to explore and analyze articles related to the motivations of military personnel to participate in peacekeeping missions. The research consisted of a synthetic analysis of empirical studies, relevant theories, and practical approaches adopted by researchers on the subject, with five articles on the subject being analyzed. In summary, the findings of the studies presented suggest that selection and training processes for peacekeeping missions must be flexible, adaptable, and address the individual motivations, skills, and needs of soldiers. Additionally, providing support throughout the mission and opportunities to reflect on experiences after returning is crucial. This can help institutions develop policies, practices, strategies, and programs aimed at the psychological development of these individuals, reducing the rates of illness and psychological suffering among military personnel and promoting the success of operations.
