THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTIVATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS OF MILITARY SERVANTS TO EXTREME CONDITIONS ACTICITIES
SUMMARY:
The proposed article presents preliminary result of an empirical study of the relationship between motivation and psychological readiness of military personnel for extreme conditions of combat operations. Certain trends are highlighted regarding a person’s psychological readiness for various types of activities, including military ones. It’s shown that their motivation may have different orientations regarding activities in extreme conditions of combat operations. It’s emphasized that not every direction of the manifestation of motivation contributes to successful activity and psychological preparation for it. To analyze the motivation of the psychological preparation of the military for extreme conditions of combat operations, the methods “Motivation of professional activity” were used, as well as the adapted questionnaire “Psychological readiness of military personnel for extreme conditions of activity”. According to the result of empirical research, two groups of military personnel were identified: those who had a high level of psychological readiness (31.5%) ant those who had a relatively average level of it (68.5%). Further, according to the studied indicators that characterized various components of the psychological readiness of the military and the motivation of their state, certain statically significant differences were found between the selected groups. Correlation analysis showed that in the group of military personnel with a high level of psychological readiness, the leading complex is the motivational orientation of psychological training. And in the group with an average level, two interrelated complexes of the studied indicators were found, in which the leading ones are the general level of psychological readiness and the moral indicator, which are closely correlated with external motivation. Such relationships and their characteristics may be conditions for selecting adequate approaches aimed at increasing the psychological readiness of military personnel to extreme operating conditions in a group with an average level.
