ГОТОВНОСТЬ К РИСКУ В АСПЕКТЕ ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ ЛИЧНОСТИ

Abstract

The article is devoted to examining the phenomenon of readiness for risk in the aspect of the individual’s psychological safety. The ideas about the phenomenon of psychological safety within the framework of the risk component (risk readiness) are supplemented. The features of the psychological safety manifestation in the professional activities of coal enterprise employees are determined. The data of a comparative analysis of the psychological categories “risk readiness” and risk taking” are presented. The authors theoretically substantiate the possibility of developing a risk propensity in repetitive situations of having and experiencing a mental state of risk readiness in the process of performing professional activities. Diagnostic tools are selected for a comprehensive solution to the problem of ensuring the psychological safety of coal industry workers in the production activity process. The parameter features of the individual’s psychological safety in relation to the different levels of risk readiness in professional activities are determined. The interdependences between the parameters of the individual’s psychological safety and the risk readiness in miners’ activities are revealed using the Pearson criterion. Qualitative differences in the parameters of the personality’s psychological safety of coal industry workers are determined, taking into account the behaviour characteristics in a risky (uncertain) situation, namely displaying cautious behaviour or risky behaviour in production conditions (Student’s T-test for independent samples). Conclusions are drawn about the need for a formative impact on a person for him or her to stop having a stable personal characteristic “risk taking”, which will have a direct impact on the level of injuries in the production activity conditions.
