This paper presents theoretical and practical aspects of remote work. The emergence of remote work is connected with the economic, political, social, cultural and technological changes of the turn of the 21st century. It offers a range of advantages, both to the employee and employer, hence its popularisation. During the pandemic, in March 2020, activity of individuals in Poland was restricted due to epidemiological considerations, which in terms of professional activity meant obligation or requirement of working from home. As a result, the percentage of employees working outside the premises of the employer in 2020 increased twice compared to 2019 As empirical studies show, the shift to remote work by a relatively numerous group of people reveals both advantages and disadvantages of this solution, both from the perspective of organisations and their staff. Remote work offers safety to employees and allows them to save on commuting time, but their work efficiency represents a controversial issue, as it is reduced by technical problems, lack of self-discipline or appropriate working conditions at home. From the point of view of the employer, it is difficult to control or manage the effects of the employee’s work if there is deficit of direct communication, especially in the case of organisations that did not employ such solutions earlier. An important aspect is the fact that a range of industries and professions cannot benefit from remote work. The secondary data reveal a picture of post-pandemic hybrid model of work, where the solutions of home office worked out during the last months will be used in conjunction with traditional ways of working in which communication with, management, motivation and control of employees is easier.

The article highlights the actual problem of spiritual and moral aspects of professional socialization of modern student youth, and in particular psychology students. The concepts of professional socialization, morality, spirituality are analyzed. The materialistic and religious points of view in understanding spirituality are considered. It was found that student youth is in the most intensive phase of socialization, which is associated with studying at a higher educational institution, and the important factors of professional socialization of students are the motivation and moral orientation of the individual, professional worldview, the values of professional activities of specialists and the system of value orientations. A theoretical analysis of the literature has shown that value orientations are a spiritual phenomenon, the essential basis of a person, a mechanism for self-organization of her spiritual world, and a person's moral self-determination is closely related to the level of his spiritual development. The connection of universal human moral values with personal and professional is the driving force behind the development of a specialist, and the conscious development of value orientations in students and the purposeful formation of spiritual and moral values in them are necessary for their successful professional socialization. The profession of a psychologist requires increased attention to the moral side of the functions performed, since his professional activity is directly related to interaction with people, influence on their inner world. Therefore, the ethics of his work is based on universal human moral values. In the professional activity of a psychologist, the main ones are the ideals of the free and all-round development of the personality and its respect, the rapprochement of people and a pronounced orientation towards the value of another person. Therefore, spiritual and moral development is a priority in the process of professional socialization of psychology students, during which special attention should be paid to the formation of the moral self-concept of personality, virtues, empathy, self-esteem and the assimilation of moral values of the professional activity of psychologists, taking into account their ethical code.

В процессе становления информационного общества все большее значение приобретает проблема воспитания нравственной личности. Происходящая цивилизационная ломка способствовала изменению ценностных ориентаций молодежи, что сказалось и на развитии ведущих идей профессиональной этики. Профессиональная деятельность формирует у человека не только профессиональные навыки, но и определенные личностные особенности, а также отношение к различным сторонам своей трудовой активности. В связи с этим профессиональная этика является одним из важнейших аспектов любой профессиональной деятельности, выступая регулятором взаимодействия людей в профессиональной сфере. В качестве норм, выступающих эталонными, принимаются те образцы поведения, которые сложились по мере развития содержания и способов осуществления конкретной профессиональной деятельности в процессах взаимодействия людей. На основе историко-педагогического анализа в исследовании доказывается наличие проблемы, требующей изучения профессиональной этики как формы проявления нравственности или морали. Описываются ведущие функции педагогической этики: регулятивная, обеспечивающая согласование элементов сферы нравственности педагога; формирующе-воспитательная, направленная на развитие каких-либо ценностей личности; познавательная, связанная с отражением в индивидуальном сознании педагогических ценностей; предлагается анализ ведущих понятий педагогической этики как относительно самостоятельного раздела аксиологического знания. Анализ литературы показал, что категориями профессиональной педагогической этики, наиболее важными для понимания сути и содержания моральных требований к личности педагога, являются категории «педагогическая справедливость», «педагогический долг», «педагогический такт», «педагогический авторитет». In the process of the formation of the information society, the problem of educating a moral personality is becoming increasingly important. The ongoing civilizational breakdown contributed to a change in the value orientations of youth, which also affected the development of leading ideas of professional ethics. Professional activity forms in a person not only professional skills, but also certain personal characteristics, as well as attitude to various aspects of his work activity. In this regard, professional ethics is one of the most important aspects of any professional activity, acting as a regulator of the interaction of people in the professional sphere. As standards that act as reference, those patterns of behavior are accepted that have developed as the content and methods of implementing specific professional activities in the processes of human interaction develop. On the basis of historical and pedagogical analysis, the study proves the existence of a problem requiring the study of professional ethics as a form of morality. The article describes the leading functions of pedagogical ethics: regulatory, ensuring the coordination of elements of the sphere of morality of the teacher; formative and educational, aimed at the development of any personal values; cognitive associated with the reflection in the individual mind of pedagogical values); an analysis of the leading concepts of pedagogical ethics as a form relative to the scope of an independent section of axiological knowledge is proposed. The analysis of the literature of the era showed that the forms of categories among the professional environment of the pedagogical group of ethics, the words of the most important forms for axiological understanding of the essence and the content of moral requirements of duty to the personality of the teacher, the categories of “pedagogical sheet of justice”, “pedagogical duty”, “pedagogical tact tact”, “pedagogical authority as well”.

The study was conducted as an empirical test of the model of mental development proposed by Ya.A. Ponomarev, who showed that the ability to act “in the mind” is one of the most important indicators of the overall development of the human psyche. Within the framework of these ideas, a comparative analysis of the features of time planning by first-year students of one of the Moscow universities of low (10 people) and high (10 people) levels of development of the ability to act “in the mind” through expert assessments of teachers of this university (40 people) protocols of students’ responses is carried out. As a result of the expert assessment, it was shown that with a low level of development of the ability to act “in the mind”, it is more difficult to systematically achieve the set life goals, plan your future based on a logical calculation. The study raises the question of the possible connection between “theory and practice” when taking into account the personal characteristics associated with a certain stage of the development of the ability to act “in the mind”, raises the question of the desirability of psychological support for a teenager when, due to the low level of development of this ability, planning for the future is difficult. It is postulated that if a practical psychologist provides such support in adolescence, practical psychology will be able to really influence the life path of a growing personality.
