Abstract

The article studies peculiarities of the hierarchy and the structure of professional well-being factors characteristic for the representatives of different professional groups. Based on the empirical data obtained for the representatives of different professions, and based on the performed correlation analysis between the factors of the 6-factor model of professional well-being (the mixed professional sample) and indicators of professional well-being in different professional groups, it was found that the hierarchy (strength of correlations) of the professional well-being factors is significantly different for different professions, in particular, for architects, police inspectors, managers, sales managers, sale representatives (medical salespersons), police investigators, economists and programmers. Significant differences in the hierarchy of professional well-being factors between some professional groups were determined, first and foremost, for the following factors: “professional motivation”, “flow at work” and “evaluation of professionalism and professional identity”. There were no significant differences for the factors such as “job satisfaction”, “satisfaction with the made professional choice” and “satisfaction with work processes and content” for different professional groups. The performed analysis of the research results suggests that some statistically significant differences in the hierarchy of professional well-being factors can be found out between “self-sufficient” (architects, police investigators, managers) and “dependent” professions, such as police inspectors or sale representatives (medical salespersons). The invariance of the factor structure for professional well-being and the proven significant differences in the factor hierarchy for different professional groups testify to the possibility to develop the author’s model of professional well-being for representatives of different professions.
