RESPONSIBILITY OF PERSONALITY AS A FACTOR OF SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIVITY

Abstract

The publication examines the role of responsibility in the successful implementation of activity. Responsibility is analyzed from the perspective of a systemic paradigm in the context of a dispositional concept of personality and individuality characteristics of A.I. Krupnov. A certain relationship between the level of manifestation of responsibility and effectiveness of activity is shown. The study involved three groups of respondents performing different types of activities. Students revealed the level of formation of personal responsibility and success in educational activities. The same was assessed among graduate students in carrying out research activities and court staff in carrying out their professional duties.

In the study of responsibility as personality traits an expert assessment and a liability judgment test developed by A.I. Krupnov were used. As experts for students acted instructors, for graduate students - supervisors and instructors, for court staff - administrative staff and colleagues. The experts assessed in questionnaires on a five-point scale for the manifestation of responsibility in different situations were related to educational, research and professional activities. The liability judgment test is a standardized technique that meets the requirements of reliability and validity. To determine the success index in the performance of respondents' activities, an expert assessment, content analysis and analysis of the products of activities were also used. When processing empirical material, quantitative analysis was applied using methods of mathematical and statistical data processing and qualitative analysis.

The results showed that in all three groups of respondents there is a correlation between the level of development of responsibility and the quality of performance of activity. The higher the level of manifestation of responsibility, the greater the success recorded in educational activities among students, the more qualitatively the scientific research is carried out among graduate students and the higher indicators in professional activity are revealed among court employees. At the same time, respondents with a high level of responsibility and success in their activity recorded a higher level of anxiety. This fact indicates that these respondents may be at risk for the development of emotional burnout.           

This work can be the basis for conducting deeper longitudinal studies on the problem of the relationship and the deployment in time of these phenomena in different professional groups.
