Journal Title: Psychological journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Today, the issue of competitive edge in the employment market is very urgent for Ukrainian graduates. Upon receiving a diploma of higher education, the graduate has some theoretical knowledge that does not always meet the challenges s/he faces in professional life. In our opinion future specialists should look for the development of professionally relevant qualities in order to solve this problem. The article is devoted to the description of the process of guided development of future managers’ professionally significant qualities in the process of obtaining higher education. We propose to develop professionally significant qualities (PSQ) of future managers with the help of a specially developed training program aimed at developing the communicative component of PSQ of future managers. This is due to the fact that, firstly, the communicative component itself, on the basis of the results of the factor analysis, has taken the first place in PSQ hierarchy of future managers at all stages of the educational process. Secondly, at the verification stage of the study, the analysis of the results of the expectations of future managers from the profession (according to the projective method) revealed that the majority of respondents see possible problems with communications in the team, with subordinates or management among the greatest difficulties in their future work. Accordingly, we have chosen the communicative component of the PSQ of future managers, as a component which if being influenced will bring future managers to the level of “manager-professional” as quickly as possible. Taking into account the fact that in the course of educational process it is usually impossible to conduct one multi-day training, as a rule, it is not possible, we consider it expedient to conduct three separate 6-hour modules of social and psychological training (three one-day trainings), as well as two independent homework tasks, which require nine and three hours, respectively. In total development process of professionally significant qualities of future managers requires 30 academic hours, 1 credit, respectively. The content of the practical training session was designed in such a manner to enable participants to maximize their communication skills in the format of future professional activities, help them overcome their fears and provide tools for effective communication. The first module was devoted to the development of communicative skills of students, future managers, the second module was devoted to the development of assertive skills, and the third was aimed at finding effective strategies for resolving conflict situations. The target audience of our training consisted of the students-managers of the 3-4 year of studies, because at this age that the impact on the development of the student's personality is the most effective, adaptation to the training process has already been completed, and the image of a future professional is beginning to emerge. Thus, the article describes the development of PSQ of future managers of organizations by means of psychological training, basic psychological mechanisms of training effect on the person and as the result new training program has been developed, it consists of three modules and aimed at the emergence of the new communicative experience in the context of students’ future professional activity, and it also aims to enable them to develop skills for effective professional interaction and to improve their perceptions of themselves as future managers. Further investigation is to be focused on expanding practical testing of the proposed training in the pilot study to test its effectiveness and implementation of the psychological component in the process of obtaining professional education.
