: For military leaders, military values and virtues are important psychological prerequisites for successful leadership and for ethical and moral military behavior. However, research on predictors of military values and virtues is scarce. Given this background, we investigated whether Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), resilience, and vulnerable narcissism might be favorably or unfavorably associated with military values and virtues, and whether vulnerable narcissism could moderate the association between the OCB-by-resilience-interaction, and military virtues. : A total of 214 officer cadets (mean age: 20.75 years; 96.8% males) of the Swiss Armed Forces (SAF) volunteered to take part in this cross-sectional study. They completed a booklet of self-rating scales covering dimensions of military values and military virtues, OCB, resilience, and vulnerable narcissism. : Higher scores for military virtues were associated with higher scores for military values, OCB, and resilience, and with lower scores for vulnerable narcissism. Multiple regression models showed that higher scores for OCB and resilience were associated with military values and virtues. Vulnerable narcissism moderated the association between military virtues, and the OCB-by-resilience-interaction: the higher the vulnerable narcissism, the more the OCB-by-resilience-interaction was associated with lower scores for military virtues. : Among cadets of the SAF, the associations between military values, military virtues, OCB, and resilience were highly intertwined, while vulnerable narcissism appeared to attenuate the association between military virtues, OCB, and resilience.
对于军事领导人而言，军事价值观和美德是成功领导以及合乎道德和伦理的军事行为的重要心理前提。然而，关于军事价值观和美德预测因素的研究却很匮乏。在此背景下，我们调查了组织公民行为（OCB）、心理韧性和脆弱型自恋是否可能与军事价值观和美德存在有利或不利的关联，以及脆弱型自恋是否会调节OCB与心理韧性的交互作用和军事美德之间的关联。
瑞士武装部队（SAF）的214名军官学员（平均年龄：20.75岁；96.8%为男性）自愿参与了这项横断面研究。他们完成了一本自评量表手册，涵盖军事价值观和军事美德、OCB、心理韧性和脆弱型自恋等维度。
较高的军事美德得分与较高的军事价值观、OCB和心理韧性得分相关，与较低的脆弱型自恋得分相关。多元回归模型显示，较高的OCB和心理韧性得分与军事价值观和美德相关。脆弱型自恋调节了军事美德与OCB和心理韧性交互作用之间的关联：脆弱型自恋越高，OCB与心理韧性的交互作用与较低的军事美德得分的关联就越强。
在SAF的学员中，军事价值观、军事美德、OCB和心理韧性之间的关联高度交织，而脆弱型自恋似乎削弱了军事美德、OCB和心理韧性之间的关联。
