Journal Title: Psychological journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the specifics of psychological readiness to change and personal competence, as well as the relationships between them, among employees of the State Criminal - Executive Service of Ukraine. The relevance of studying this phenomenon in the context of professional activities of employees of the penitentiary service in the context of its reform is substantiated. The content of the concept of “psychological readiness for change” is disclosed and its significance within the framework of the formation of competence is indicated. The PCRS (Change Personal Readiness Survey) method created by A. Rolnic, S. Heather, M. Gold, C. Hull (translation and adaptation by N. A. Bazhanova and G. L. Bardier) and the general questionnaire of the general competence (O.S. Shtepa). were applied to solve empirical problems. The subjects were employees of the State Criminal - Executive Service of Ukraine, who were divided into groups according to the level of psychological readiness for change. The first group consisted of subjects with a high level of readiness for change, the second - with a low level. Based on a correlation analysis, it is proved that groups of employees of the Criminal - Executive Service with different levels of psychological readiness for change demonstrate differences in the structure of the relationship between the components of psychological readiness for change and the components of personal competence. It was established that the representatives of these groups differ both in the content of the identified significant interrelations, and in the number of significant interrelations of different modalities. In the group of employees of the Criminal - Executive Service with a high level of readiness for change, there are twenty-two significant relationships, all are positive, whereas in the group of employees of the Criminal - Executive Service with a low level of readiness for change, only eleven significant correlations are found, six of which have a positive and five is negative. This indicates that, in general, in the first group, along with the improvement of personal competence, there is an increase in psychological readiness for change, while these phenomena are actively interacting with each other. In the second group, this interaction has a limited and contradictory nature, which can act as a destructive factor in the functioning of both psychological readiness for changes and personal competence. The prospect of further work is to continue research in the chosen direction and to study the relationship of psychological readiness to change with a wider range of personality variables, in particular, such as psychological resource and personal maturity. This will allow not only to improve the scientific understanding of the psychological content of the phenomenon of psychological readiness for change, but also to obtain empirical results that will become the basis for developing programs of psychological support for the professional activities of the staff of the Criminal - Executive Service at the stage of its reform.
