Abstract
Conducted a study of 152 container terminal OSTP operators (aged 35 to 55 years), during the passage of the annual professional selection. Studied professionally important qualities. Focuses on the process of adapting to the professional activity and stress. The aim of the study is to determine the professionally important qualities, watching psycho-emotional state and level of stress resistance at the container terminal operators OSTP. Materials and methods according to age: younger than 35 years, from 36 to 45 years, from 46 to 55. Used test methods of Schulte, Schulte-Psyadlo test, test Schulte-Gorbova, modified test Riesz — «Entangled line.» The strength, agility and balance of the nervous processes was recorded by a computerized system, «SPAS-15». To determine the stress resistance and social adaptation used the technique of Thomas Holmes and Richard Rage. Psychological characteristics and the actual emotional state were assessed using Luscher’s SCW. The results of the study. Professional activities of operators of port services is accompanied by a voltage of mental and physiological systems of the organism. In the group of up to 35 years we have seen the highest level of performance. Productivity of operators’ activity is associated with the intensity of information processing on precognitive level, which is reflected in the test «The mobility of the nervous processes.» With the years the error rate did not significantly increased, we can assume that the mobility of nervous processes is a major professionally important qualities. Most susceptible to age-related changes is the steadiness of the nervous processes, as evidenced by results of the test «The response to the moving object.» With age, there is negative trend with a significant decrease in the accuracy of the reaction and increasing number of errors. For operators of the older age group in the performance of tasks with increasing dynamic load requires a longer period to adapt to the high rate of work. This trend has continued in relation to imaginative properties that are indexed by modified Schulte-Psyadlo test, and there was a significant increase in the number of errors in the test «Mixed up line» The optimal combination of speed and quality of work we can see in the age group 36–45 years. We investigated that the characteristics of auditory-motor responses (test SNP) develop with age. All of the changes stated above are characterized exceptionally by age dynamics and do not depend on the length of productive activities. Observation of psycho-emotional condition indicates a positive trend and a good stress resistance. During the year, the operators reduced the level of «emotional distress» and «unfavorable compensation» Conclusions: The effectiveness of professional activity depends on genetically determined personality traits, and the development of professionally important qualities and level of stress resistance.
