Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of professional self-realization of students and the definition of its value determinants. According to the author, the professional self-realization of young people is a stage of socialization, where professional potential is formed and realized; it includes a set of professional competencies and special personality traits necessary for the effective implementation of labor activity. Professional self-realization is impossible without the creation of appropriate conditions, which is as part of the State Youth Personnel Policy: an institutionally organized socio-managerial activity of the subjects of youth policy aimed at regulating personnel processes in the youth environment of the country.The effectiveness of the organization of personnel processes depends on how much this process responds to the values of youth.To determine the value conditions for the professional self-realization of students, the results of a sociological study were analyzed. The study was conducted in 2022 under the guidance of the author among Russian students (N=18,392). As a result of the analysis, two groups of value determinants of professional self-realization were identified: primary and secondary.Primary value determinants are strategic, they should be considered when the personnel policy of the organization building, they are in the area of responsibility of the head of the organization; these groups include the value conditions through which respondents reveal the content of self-realization.Secondary value determinants of professional self-realization are tactical. They should form the basis of adaptation practice for each new employee of the organization and be in responsibility of the immediate supervisor; this group includes the most important value conditions in employment for students who need the opportunity for professional self-realization.The revealed value determinants of professional self-realization can be included in the program of adaptation of young specialists in the organization.
