The Notions About Work In Young People With Dif-Ferent Types Of Individuality

Abstract

HRs who are responsible for conducting employee testing/recruitment programs doesnt use adequate psychological tests consequently these results do not allow to reveal the implicit idea of young people about work. The question arises whether or not young people with different types of individuality differ in their views on work? This study focuses on the relations between the features of the organization of the concept Work as a correlate of the individual picture of the world in young people with different types of individuality and the description of their behavioural manifestations. 1110 volunteers aged 19–35 (73% female), took part in the present study. We used a set of methods for assessing (a) different types of individuality: Temperament, Fundamental Personality Dimensions (PEN), Character, Motivation, Cognitive Styles, Hardiness; and (b) the organization of the concept Work (directed associative experiment). Mathematical data processing was carried out by using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22. “Spiritual Man” and “Man of Action” find their work difficult as they are distinguished by high level of hardiness, meaningfulness of life, spiritual abilities. “Man of Mood” considers their work as responsible. Subjective significance of professional activity, family values, material well-being are important for them. “Ordinary man”, being of low level of meaningfulness of life see their work hard. The data obtained revealed significant differences in the notions about Work in people with different types of individuality. We believe that how the features of the individual mental resources of young people determine their perceptions of work.
