Factor model of creative leadership potential in the context of the socio-psychological portrait of junior students majoring in humanities

Abstract

This article explores the creative leadership potential among the junior students majoring in humanities. The relevance of studying creative leadership in the era of transfessionalism is substantiated. Description is given to the current state of studying the concept of creative leadership in global science. The author also delineates the survey results on the creative leadership potential of junior students majoring in humanities, which involved 101 students from different universities of Tomsk. The research employed the method of modeling communicative worlds, method of psycho-semantic graph, method of “Myers-Briggs Creative Personality Type”, scalogram-based communicability profile, social network analysis (SNA methodology). The scientific novelty is defined by the fact that modern science features a fairly small number of empirical research dedicated to creative leadership. The acquired data was analyzed using the factor analysis. The main result of this research consists in identification of 10 factors that considerably contribute to the creative leadership potential and form its factor structure. At the forefront of the structure of creative leadership potential among the students majoring in humanities is the positive perception of their partners. It is also concluded that the structure of creative leadership potential is quite complex and contradictory. The obtained results would be used in development of psychological support programs for the students to fulfill their creative leadership potential.
