INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY AND ENGINEERINGPSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF LABOR ACTIVITY IN THE STATE EMERGENCY SERVICE OF ODESSA REGION

Abstract

The current state of the social, epidemiological, economic and political
spheres of the Ukrainian state determines a new attitude to the problems
of labor and engineering — psychological support of extreme profession
representatives, including the State Emergency Service of Ukraine —
SES. Creating conditions for the professional development of SES employees should improve the current situation, when there is an increasing need for prevention and correction of negative mental states that arise in rescue workers under the influence of risky situations at work. To
achieve the objectives we conducted studies of individual psychological
characteristics of Odessa region SES employees with the help of individual-
typological questionnaire by L. N. Sobchyk, methods for evaluating
stress development by T. A. Numchin; methods for evaluating will power
by M. V. Chumakov, etc. It was demonstrated that the professional activity
of these specialists is technically oriented, it determines the engineering
and psychological aspects of science support activities. In addition,
the employee must have the necessary basic qualities; has to develop a set
of personal and professionally important qualities, the study of which is the field of labor (industrial) psychology. Parallel psychological support could be the basis for improving the level of professional suitability of SES employees.
