SELF-PRESERVATION AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT OF PEDAGOGICAL STAFF IN THE CONTEXT OF TOXIC MANAGEMENT IN AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
SUMMARY:
The article is devoted to the problem of toxic management, which takes place in the corporate culture of educational institutions. The features of the adverse impact of toxic management on the socio-psychological climate in the team are described, which reduces the quality of the educational process; reduces the level of trust of customers of educational services to the entire teaching staff and negatively affects the image of the educational institution. The causes of toxic leadership are revealed. The features of managerial activity of managers with conscious and unconscious toxicity are characterized. The analysis of typical manifestations of toxic management (micromanagement; unrealistic expectations; destructive communication; incompetence and irresponsibility; double standards; hypocrisy and substitution of values; undermining the creativity of the team; indifference to the personal life of their subordinates; generating conflicts in the team; lack of self-esteem) is presented. The author reveals the peculiarities of using various behavioral tactics to build interaction with toxic leaders. Practical recommendations are given on the use of certain organizational and psychological techniques that can help teachers to resist various manifestations of toxic management and contribute to their professional self-preservation and selfdevelopment.
