Differentiate between an institution and an occupation

Occupation- In modern society, employees have input in determining the appropriate salary and work conditions. These rights are balanced by their responsibility to meet the obligations of a contract. This implies that the interests of the individual come before the interests of the employer. Officers with this orientation stress factors such as salary, job security, and perhaps working conditions. Institution- Members of a military institution perceive themselves and are regarded by society as separate; they hold notions such as self-sacrifice and define themselves as military officers. Consequently, they are held in high esteem by society. Officers with this orientation stress factors in their job that relate to military competence and to their responsibility to serve society. In an institutional military, individuals are on duty 24 hours per day and are expected to take on a variety of roles that may not be limited to their particular military specialty. In an occupational military, the roles are job specific, and as long as the job gets done no one cares what an individual does when not at work.
