Representations of professional duty among students and cadets studying socionomic professions
The reforms of recent decades have affected many areas where the representatives of socionomic professions work (healthcare, police, education). The problem of high personnel turnover, insufficient motivation of employees, understaffing is extremely relevant especially in the regions. The problem is not only in financial incentives, but also in the professional relevance of the occupied professional position. The current situation is characterized by high requirements for the representatives of these professions (personal characteristics, level of knowledge, professional competence and others), on the one hand, and high personnel turnover, on the other hand. In our opinion, one of the ways to solve this problem is to identify the characteristics of professional duty as a fundamental characteristic of socionomic professions at the stage of vocational training with a view to its development. Timely, scientifically substantiated development of professional duty among students – future representatives of professions of the “personto-person” type (P2P) will increase the level of professional responsibility of employees and the quality of the work they perform, as well as reduce high personnel turnover and professional burnout. The authors performed the study of the ideas about professional duty among future representatives of socionomic professions: police, medical and psychology students of the last year of study. The revealed psychological characteristics of the ideas of professional duty among students and cadets will allow developing recommendations for its development in each specific group.
