Abstract

The article attempts to study the features of the manifestation of professional burnout of police officers and the factors influencing its occurrence and course. Based on the analysis of scientific papers on the problem of burnout, the main directions in the study of this phenomenon, as well as problematic issues that require further research, are identified. Conclusions are drawn about the need for a more detailed study of the determinants of professional burnout, due both to the extreme conditions of the professional activity of the subjects, and their individual characteristics associated with manifestations of neuropsychic stability, adaptive potential and the development of typological personality characteristics. To conduct the study, a set of diagnostic methods was selected and tested, aimed at identifying professional burnout and describing its symptoms, as well as factors influencing the occurrence/absence of burnout in the activities of employees of the organization. The respondents were 80 employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Stavropol Territory. Based on the analysis of the empirical data obtained in the course of the study, conclusions were drawn about the relationship between the manifestation of the syndrome of professional burnout and the individual typological properties of the personality, as well as with the subjects' subjective perception of their professional activity as psychotraumatic, associated both with personal achievements and with opportunities for professional growth and leading to a decrease in adaptive potential and serious personal changes. The results obtained during the study were used to build a program of psychological measures aimed at reducing the level of professional burnout and increasing the adaptive capacity of police officers
