Abstract

The article examines the essential characteristics of professional psychological selection of military personnel through the analysis of professional selection and its structure. The problem of effective implementation of professional psychological selection is considered by the authors as a problem of mutual correspondence of the individual and the profession. It is noted that it is solvable only if a certain set of requirements is met: both the individual's requests for a certain type of professional activity, and the requirements of the activity itself for the subjective characteristics of the «person of labor». Professional selection of military personnel structurally includes: social selection; medical selection; professional psychological selection; educational and qualification selection; assessment of the level of functional development and general physical fitness. The scientific results of the study include the fact that the general characteristics of the candidate and the military specialist performing professional psychological selection, the conditions and means of its implementation are disclosed.

Summary

A problem statement

The definition of the main ways to improve the quality and effectiveness of professional military activity involves a deep study of individual psychological characteristics and properties of subjectivity (target, operational, reflective, value, communicative, intellectual, emotional-volitional), as well as the directions of diagnostics of readiness for its implementation in different age periods and in a changing social environment. Bodrov notes in his works that the relationship between man and labor will allow us to form the necessary knowledge about the psychological patterns of the formation of the subject of labor, the development of his personality as a professional, as well as the role of individual psychological characteristics in this process [7] In this context, the concept of the system approach of B.F. Lomov deserves great attention, which reflects the basic laws of interrelationships and mutual conditionality of the regulatory and communicative functions of the psyche of the subject of work, psychophysiological and other functions, and structures of the body. This concept defines the hierarchical nature of the interrelationships of these functions in the processes of forming the relationship between the subject and the object of work, the formation and manifestation of their systemic qualities, as well as the role of their structural and functional features in the regulation of labor activity and personal development [8]
