Abstract

<p>The article clarifies the concept of “psychological safety” taking into account the specifics of modern Russian universities. The foundation of such security is the self-esteem of the teacher, who is capable of realizing the highest meanings of his profession even under unfavorable conditions and with disrespectful attitude towards himself. A generalized model of possible factors and risks influencing psychological safety is proposed, among which not only traditionally unfavorable factors are highlighted, but also overly favorable ones, which can lead to excessive “calmness” of the teacher and reduce his creative activity. A typology of possible risks to psychological well-being is proposed, which presupposes the teacher’s readiness for retrospective, situational and prospective reflection of his work. Options for preventing risks to psychological well-being are also considered, based on the teacher’s willingness to make a reasonable compromise when dubious directives are followed if they do not threaten self-esteem and at the same time there are opportunities for more decent work.</p>
