Influence of the educational environment on students’ managerial competence

Abstract

This paper considers university educational environment to be an important factor in the development of students’ organizational and managerial competence. The authors discuss the approaches to the educational environment of the university, analyze its parameters and characteristics, and study the connection between the developmental educational environment and a high level of managerial competence attained by technical university graduates. The authors rely on the environmental approach which allows them to assess the impact of the educational environment on students’ organizational and managerial competence taking into account the analysis of empirical data obtained by monitoring methods of sociological research. This method also made it possible to improve self-organization and self-management skills of students, and to achieve a high level of resilience both on the environmental and personal level.
