The book focuses on the theme of prioritizing service to the state over caring for one's own family. More specifically, it focuses on situations in which employees are at risk of choosing between providing for or protecting their own families on the one hand or performing activities necessary for the operation and defence of the state on the other. The aim of the research conducted was to confirm or refute the research question that there is a research gap in terms of addressing this topic in relation to a systems approach. Another objective was to identify findings in relation to economic aspects, human resource management, communication aspects, legal aspects, security aspects, in relation to risk management and in relation to exploring a systems approach.
