Value-motivational orientation of employees of investigative bodies of the Russian Federation
The article is devoted to a theoretical and empirical study of the value-motivational orientation of employees of investigative units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In the theoretical substantiation of the article, a brief review of research on the value and motivational orientation of investigative workers in the context of the problem of professionalization of personality is carried out. Values are understood as the ideals of people's normative behavior that give meaning to life, and value orientations are understood as structural components of a person's worldview and orientation, which act as predictors of personal transformations and professional development. It is noted that the difficult nature of investigative activity requires an employee to have a well-formed system of professional values and a stable motivation to serve society and the state. At the same time, it is emphasized that indicators of value and motivation-career orientations can be predictors of a person's productivity in the profession. Further, the article presents the results of an empirical study in which investigators of the investigative units of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (Krasnodar Territory) in the number of 50 people participated. In diagnostic procedures, the “Values Questionnaire" (Sh. Schwartz) and “Career Anchors” (E. Shane), the SPSS Statistics 23 system was used for statistical and analytical processing of the results. It is shown that investigators are aimed at maintaining the conditions of protection of the interests of the individual and society, ensuring security; independence, freedom of choice of actions, the ability to self-organize, success and social approval are the value guidelines for them. Among the indicators of career orientations, the most pronounced are “stability of the workplace”, “integration of lifestyles”, “service". It is established that men are more focused on achieving social status and prestige, and women are more determined in matters of balancing family and professional spheres of life. With the help of correlation analysis, the connections of values, values and career orientation in the structure of the personal orientation of the respondents were revealed. In conclusion, conclusions are formulated about the applied significance of the results of the study in optimizing the professional activities of employees of investigative units when applying psychological correction techniques.
