Abstract
EN Enhancing competence management is one of the crucial dimensions in the field of human capital management, gaining increasing recognition in the military environment. It is currently of particular importance due to the dynamic technological and organizational changes necessary in the process of transforming the armed forces, which face new challenges due to the current geopolitical situation. As previous experiences indicate, one of the priority dimensions of the functioning of military units and subunits is the morale of soldiers, influenced by various factors. Among these, the most important is the psychological and spiritual support provided by military chaplains, who operate within the Polish Armed Forces under the Military Ordinariate of the Polish Armed Forces. This is a unique organization in many respects; on one hand, it is part of the armed forces and is subject to all internal military regulations, while on the other hand, it is a church institution obligated to adhere to ecclesiastical regulations. The resulting complex institutional character of the Military Ordinariate of the Polish Armed Forces necessitates a special, unique approach to managing the human capital that constitutes this institution. The aim of the article is to identify and assess the directions for improving the competencies of military chaplains in the process of human resource management within the Military Ordinariate of the Polish Armed Forces. The structure of the article is subordinated to this aim, comprising four main parts directed towards solving the research problem formulated as the question: How can the necessary competencies of military chaplains be developed in the human resource management process so that they can properly provide psychological and spiritual support to soldiers?
