ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS DETERMINING THE ABILITY OF THE MANAGER TO PROFESSIONAL CREATIVITY

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of professional creativity of the manager. It was noted that in the most theoretical definitions the essence of creativity was quite expressive, presentable and explicit in the focus of procedural, productive and personal aspects of creativity.

We described our empirical research with the aim to establish the level of the formation of creative motivation and creative orientation of the managers of pedagogical educational institutions, as well as their social intelligence and anxiety as individual characteristics, which would allow us to formulate psychological factors that determined the ability of leaders to professional creativity. A link has been established between social intelligence and the anxiety of educational leaders. Significant negative correlations were found between social intelligence and situational anxiety, as well as between social intelligence and activity-related anxiety and self-esteem. We also attribute the latter to the fact that the testing situation has caused concern due to the mediocre development of social intelligence, the inability to predict exactly how test results will affect respondents’ professional performance, how they will affect their social status and their perceptions of themselves. On the other hand, given that this effect is mutual, anxiety or rather the main there are their cognitive components, associated with negative expectations of respondents about their capabilities and assessment of the test situation in such a way it could contribute to increased tension, significantly worsening our results.

Theoretical analysis of the problem of professional creativity of the leader and our empirical research allowed us to formulate such psychological factors that determine the ability of the leader to professional creativity:

• professional training of managers of higher educational institutions, due to the formation of personally and professionally significant experience, the formation of their creative abilities and possibilities of the individual; at the same time these creative abilities and possibilities will be directed on the achievement of valuable, axiologically significant results not only in a professional paradigm, but also in all spheres of vital activity of the person;
• a high level of the development of social intelligence of the manager, which involves the implementation of creative actions by the individual at the level of meta-intellectual activity, which is where the true creative activity takes place, which leads to the explication of the creative achievements of the person. Thanks to this, the fourth level of the intelligence is in that fact that a person is able to establish interactions not only with various objects and other people, but also with the world as a whole, and thus is expanding the boundaries of his/her intellect and it begins a dialogue with a creative beginning of the world;
• a low level of personal anxiety, which, in turn, will contribute to the formation of axiological creative potential of the individual as a frame, which is a precautionary factor of value disorientation of the leader, leveling his/her creative, viable changes in values, which, in turn, can lead to moral nihilism, professional burnout or to a state of professional degradation of the person.
