THEORETICAL MODEL OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SELF-REALIZATION

Aim of this work is to develop and substantiate a theoretical model of a person’s personal and professional self-realization as a tool for assessing the degree of correspondence between the characteristics of professional development and the value orientations and resources of the individual.

Methodology. To achieve this goal, theoretical methods were used: analysis, comparison and generalization of approaches to self-realization of the individual in both domestic and foreign psychology. To develop a theoretical model of personal and professional self-realization, the modeling method was used, within which factors, structural components and criteria for the success of personal and professional self-realization were identified.

Results. The theoretical generalization of approaches to the study of personality self-realization in the relevant domestic and foreign literature led to the conclusion that it is necessary to study this problem from the standpoint of a personal-professional approach, which corresponds to modern trends in the development of psychological knowledge, and to develop appropriate tools for practical application.

Based on a systemic approach and the principle of determinism, we have developed a theoretical model of personal and professional self-realization. The model specifies its structural components, as well as the factors and criteria for the success of personal and professional self-realization.

Theoretical and/or practical significance. On the basis of the developed model of personal and professional self-realization, it is planned to conduct empirical research related to the study of the features of the correlation between the characteristics of professional and personal development. A promising direction in this problematic field can be the study of psychological predictors and strategies for achieving personal and professional self-realization, which in turn can serve as a source of maintaining life satisfaction and psychological well-being of a person.
