Self-regulation and hardiness at different stages of professional development
Abstract
Relevance. The need to repeatedly change the type of professional activity, reducing the duration of professionalization stages often leads to the time sense disturbances, loss of the meaning of life, and a decrease in the coping strategies effectiveness. In this regard, investigating the role of personality resources, their mobilization and integration at different stages of professionalization remains a pressing issue. Objective. The study had its purpose to identify the features of conscious self-regulation and hardiness at the different stages of professionalization. In the course of the work, the following hypothesis was tested: the type of a subject’s professional activity and the stage of professionalization affect the general level and the structure of links between the conscious self-regulation and his hardiness. The sample consisted of 284 respondents (144 women and 140 men) aged 17 to 59 years. Methods. The diagnostic complex included V.I. Morosanova’s “Self-regulation profile questionnaire, SRPQM-2020” and the “Test of hardiness” by D.A. Leontiev and E.I. Rasskazova. Collecting empirical data was carried out using blank testing and online testing by means of “Google Forms”. The results were processed using the calculation of descriptive statistics, the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, one-way and two-way analysis of variance, and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Research results. The data analysis has revealed that the highest values and density of correlations between the indicators of conscious self-regulation and hardiness are observed at the stage of professional adaptation. The relationship between subjects’ self-regulation and hardiness is more pronounced in the representatives of technical professions at the stages of their adaptation and professionalization. The study results can be used in the practice of occupational psychologists, personnel services, in the guidelines for developing hardiness, resilience, and regulatory resources of a person at the stage of professional adaptation.
