ECO-APPROACH AS A WAY TO OVERCOME A SYNDROME OF THE PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT AMONG THE PERSONNEL OF THE EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Vita Teslenko — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0300

The article presents the discourse around the search for a way the teachers of the educational institutions have to overcome a syndrome of the professional burnout (hereinafter – SPB). Since SPB is determined by a set of cognitive, affective and behavioral factors that are manifested in the self-sphere, the problem of resourcefulness in resistance to SPB as a threat to optimal functioning is still actual considering the following: 1) possible level of burnout in the form of stress, resistance and exhaustion; 2) the problem of self-regulation of individual behavior; 3) manifestations of certain signs of disorders of the internal structure of the individual, such as “emotional exhaustion”, “depersonalization”, “reduction of professional achievements”; 4) low level of individual desire for self-development and low self-esteem of the individual of the qualities that promote self-development; 5) the problem of perfectionism; 6) the problem with the motivation of professional activity; 7) lack of meaningful life orientations, etc.

In identifying the eco-approach as a means of gaining resources to the resistance of the SPB, it is advisable to analyze various approaches to the issue and determine the principles of the existing concepts for understanding: 1) the phenomenon of “burnout” as a manifestation of professional activity on the individual; 2) the phenomenon of qualitative-oriented management, emphasizing the paradigm of “system within system”; 3) the phenomenon of uncertainty in psychology; 4) the phenomenon of “integral personal characteristics”. The role of such constructs as “nature of nature”, “method of method”, “principle of principle”, “paradigm of paradigm” and “the resulted result“ as the narratives in the search for resourceful potential by a person is traced.

So, in case of understanding (cognition) by the individual the nature of some complexity in all its paradoxes and contradictions, we can hope for his / her ability to overcome it in the multifactorial nature of certain manifestations and fluctuations. Lean-thinking will hinder existing obstacles being in this way. The article is focused on the readiness of the teacher to find resourceful and overcome non-resourceful strategies to achieve the goal, to advance in personal and professional development, to harmonize relations with others. Thus, in accordance with the above, the optimization of a sole purposeful functional system of the personality – is the criterion that characterizes the function of individual development, i.e. his / her adaptation to the special conditions of his / her activities, taking into account the personal factors. The urgency of the problem lies in solving the dilemma: the mismatch of the adaptive properties of the organism and the actual human experience, i.e. the possibility of acquiring certain skills, abilities, readiness (willingness).

CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF A HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT

Iryna Synhaivska, Aminet Apisheva — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0300

The article discusses outstanding characteristics of the organizational culture of the department of a higher-educational institution based on employees’ ideas about existing and desired organizational culture with the goal to increase the department’s successfulness. The ideas about a preferred state can be used for planning the further development of the department’s organizational culture. Criteria for successfulness of department’s organizational culture are determined by both internal and external factors.

The external criterion for the assessment of successfulness of department’s activity is represented by objective effectiveness of the quality of student training, which is included into department’s rating and reflects successfulness of psychological and pedagogical interaction between the teaching staff and the students. It is suggested to use “objective effectiveness” as a criterion for the assessment of department’s organizational culture successfulness. Also, the necessity of taking into consideration the directions of specialist training while planning the development of organizational culture of the department.

The article also presents the analysis of the internal criterion for the successfulness of the department’s organizational culture, which is determined by the degree of discrepancy between the employees’ ideas about existing and preferred organizational culture. High divergence degree causes socio-psychological internal tension among coworkers. We consider such an organizational culture to be unfavorable, and therefore unsuccessful. It is suggested to use organizational culture “favourability” as a criterion for successfulness.
