Organizational values determine the behaviour and norms expected in the organization. The more similar the attitude, the way of thinking and the value system among organizational members the stronger the culture is. The characteristics of personality can be well modelled with the concept of self-evaluation. The purpose of this article is to create a theoretical framework that reveals the relationships between self-evaluation dimensions, organizational values and employees’ commitment dimensions. Based on the results, affective commitment is supported by a high level of self-esteem and self-efficacy through the organizational values such as collaboration, trust, affiliation, achievement, autonomy, competition and growth. In contrast, professional commitment is supported by a high level of locus of control and emotional stability, through the organizational values such as routinization, attention to details, formalization, support, communication and consistency. The conclusions of the theoretical model can be used to determine effective motivational strategies for groups and organizations with strong cultures, as the results show that motivational tools used at group level can be successful as well, depending on the self-evaluation profiles.

Self Knowledge

Many individuals living in our post-Christian culture have placed the self in the position most cultures reserve for their god(s). Present cultural interest in self-esteem flows from this religious orientation. Unfortunately, the Christian church has not been entirely impervious to this non-Christian religious influence. While acknowledging the psychological importance of self-esteem, the author suggests that self-esteem is an unavoidably religious experience. An attempt is made to outline a Christian understanding of proper self-esteem: an affective response to the self-knowledge and self-evaluation that results from knowing God. The evaluative context of the Christian and non-Christian are also contrasted. The article concludes with some implications of the material for personal life and professional practice.

Self Evaluation

Early adolescence is a time of flux in self-concept and self-esteem, as well as when puberty takes place. However, there is limited research on the neural correlates of self-evaluation in relation to pubertal development. The current study aimed to examine how age and pubertal development associate with neural activation during self-evaluation in a community sample of girls, and if these associations depend on the type of evaluated trait. Participants (N=143; age 10.0-13.0) completed a functional MRI task in which they judged the self-descriptiveness of adjectives describing prosocial, antisocial and social status-related traits. Pubertal development was examined using the self-reported Pubertal Development Scale, and morning salivary testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and estradiol. Contrary to preregistered hypotheses, age and pubertal development were not related to neural activation during self-evaluation. We also examined whether activation in two areas linked to self-referential processing, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and perigenual anterior cingulate (pgACC), could predict trial-level self-evaluative behaviour. In line with the preregistered hypothesis, higher vmPFC and pgACC activation during self-evaluation predicted more endorsement of negative items and less endorsement of positive items. Future studies should test longitudinal associations, as well as the predictive value of the neural correlates of self-evaluation for adolescent mental health.

Self-evaluation is an opinion which is shaped and transformed along with human age. The younger a child is, the more superficial and situational character the self-assessment has. Its level depends on the acquired experience – the cases of success and failure. Moreover, notional thinking develops gradually with the age, changing self-evaluation into an in-depth opinion. In the text, the research results are presented of self-evaluation of borderland children and youth in the aspect of their self-assessed life achievements in regard to their potentialities (individually specified measure of quality) and the evaluation of school results (socially specified measure of quality). This constitutes a record of the current state and the one nearly 25 years ago, which also takes into account the respondents’ age and residence place. What is comprised here as well are the different dimensions of the young’s self-evaluation and its significance for their spiritual development, which is the essence of education.

Communicative Activity

The article presents the results of an empirical study of relation between the communicative activity and self-evaluation of teenagers (n = 85), whose personality development takes place in the information society and allows us to characterize modern adolescents as generation Z («digital» generation). Communicative activity is considered as the willingness and ability of a person to interpersonal interaction, the outgoing desire to implement the functions of the subject of communication. The authors have analyzed theoretical information about the self-evaluation and communicative activity of adolescents. The communicative activity of adolescents of generation Z is characterized by a wide range: from self-centeredness and minimal involvement in communication, to the desire to maximize the range of social contacts as in real communication, so in communication mediated by technical means. The identified gaps in the scientific knowledge about communicative activity, in terms of its connection with the self-esteem of modern teeagers, became the prerequisite for this study. The principle of consistency and theoretical provisions on self-esteem by L. V. Borozdina, ideas about the activity of personality by A. I. Krupnov, A. A. Volochkov and S. A. Vasyura formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the work. The relations of communicative activity and self-evaluation of adolescents are established. The basic components of the system of these relations are ease of contact and self-evaluation of appearance. The ease of coming into contact is associated with self-evaluation on the scales of “authority among peers”, “appearance (beauty)”, “self-confidence”, as well as the level of claims on the scales “mind” and “self-confidence”. The self-evaluation of appearance (beauty) is associated with the need for communication, initiative in communication, ease of contact, expressiveness in communication. The obtained results contribute to the development of scientific ideas about communicative activity, its potential for the development of the personality of adolescents of generation Z.

The Relationship

Background. It is stated that the anxiety issue of adolescent pupils has been increasing a concern in teachers and society (Lee & Hankin, 2009; Mocus, Schoot, Klimstra, & Branje, 2011). The analysis of the reasons affecting a poor emotional state, anxiety processes and low self- esteem of adolescents leads to the following factors: socio-economic status, parenting styles (Cohen, Mansoor, Gagin, & Lorber, 2008), insecure attachment and non-functional beliefs (Lee & Hankin, 2009), adaptation difficulties, relationship with peers (Mocus et al., 2011), emotional pressures at  school  (Klizas,  Ramanauskienė,  Dumčienė,  &  Linonis,  2010).  Meanwhile,  it  was  found  that  involvement  in sports activities positively affects adolescents’ self-esteem, contributes to adolescents’ identity and positive self-evaluation  development,  encourages  cooperation  with  peers,  develops  physical  skills,  character,  creativity,  and value system, distracts from harmful habits, and helps to integrate into society (Dunn, Dunn, & Bayduza, 2008; Šniras & Malinauskas, 2006). Thus, it is evident that today’s adolescents, facing growing demands in environment, society, experience more anxiety, which may affect their self-evaluation, self-confidence, self-esteem and vice versa, deteriorate their quality of life and mental health. So, it is highly important for educators (school teachers, coaches, etc.) to understand what causes anxiety in adolescents and how such factors as sport may have an influence on it. Research aim was to determine the relationship between the self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety for adolescent athletes  and  non-athletes.  Research  object  was  the  relationship  of  adolescents’  self-esteem,  self-confidence  and anxiety.Methods. The pilot survey was carried out in Kaunas, in 2013. Adolescent athletes and non-athletes aged 16 were selected for the research. The study employed questionnaires survey method. Results and conclusions. It was discovered that the self-esteem and self-confidence of athlete adolescents was higher compared with non-athlete adolescents. The results showed that comparing the different anxiety factors of athlete and non-athlete adolescents no significant differences were found with the exception of anxiety related to social stress experience, and it is lower for athlete respondents. The analysis of self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety relationship, depending on the sport activity, determined that the sport element had little relevance to these factors.Keywords: students, self-determination, anxiety, sport.
