Career orientations and ability for self-management of students oriented on entrepreneurial activities

Aim. The purpose of the study is to study the career orientations and components of the ability to self-management of students in the humanities, focused on entrepreneurial activity and work in organizations.

 Methodology. We used the following methods: “Career Anchors Questionnaire” (E. Shane); "The ability of self-government" (N.M. Peisakhov); a questionnaire to assess students' future choice of employment or entrepreneurship. In processing the results, the following criteria were used: Student's T-test (to determine the significance of differences); R. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (to identify correlations). To establish the degree of integration of qualities in the structure, to identify structure-forming qualities, to analyze the "homogeneity-heterogeneity" of structures, the methods of structural analysis were used - the calculation and analysis of intercorrelation matrices, "express χ2 ".

 Results. The results of the study demonstrate differences in the structure and hierarchy of career orientations and their relationship with the ability to self-management of students in the humanities, which in the future involve various areas of professional self-realization.

 Research implications. The determinants of the choice of professional development and career were identified, which are different for subjects planning further professional development within a particular organization or choosing their own path in entrepreneurship for further professional self-realization
