OPERATIONALIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS OF PROFESSIONALLY IMPORTANT QUALITIES AND ABILITIES OF A SOCIAL WORK SPECIALIST OF THE MILITARY (FORCES)

Abstract

Relevance of the study. Today, there are no comprehensive studies in the scientific literature devoted directly to the problem of diagnostics and professional selection of social work specialists in the troops (forces), and the available studies mainly reveal individual aspects of the professional psychological selection of military personnel or general issues of the social work profession. This necessitates the development of a specialized system of psychodiagnostic support for the selection of this category of specialists on the basis of substantiated professionally important qualities and features of their professional activity.

Conclusions. As a result of the theoretical analysis, the essence of diagnostics and professional selection in the social work system of the troops (forces) was clarified, the specifics of the professional activity of a social work specialist in the troops (forces) were determined, a list of professionally important qualities was generalized and a professioniogram of the specified specialist was developed. It was established that the effectiveness of the performance of professional duties is ensured by a complex of interrelated communicative, organizational, analytical, moral-ethical, emotional-volitional and socio-psychological qualities. The results obtained create a theoretical basis for the next stage of the study, which involves substantiating a system of psychodiagnostic methods aimed at assessing the professionally important qualities of candidates for the positions of social work specialists of the troops (forces) and increasing the effectiveness of their professional selection.
