PECULIARITIES OF THE ATTITUDE TO WORK OF YOUTH WITH DIFFERENT ECONOMIC STATUSES
The article analyses the study results concerning socio-psychological peculiarities of the attitudes to work of youth with different economic status. The socio-psychological model of the “attitude to work” concept is presented as a multilevel system that acts as part of the system of human relations and is closely linked to the formation of a person. This concept consists of three main components: motivationally-semantic, emotionally-axiological and behavioral. Attention should be paid to the importance of the problem of economic states of young people, which affects their attitudes to the labor. Basing on the socio-psychological model of attitude to work, we selected ten key indicators that reflect important social and psychological characteristics of young people’s attitudes to labor according to the three-component model of attitudes to work. The motivational-semantic component is represented by the following indicators: striving for external rewards; internalization of the purpose of social and professional activities; orientation to power; process orientation. The emotional-value component includes such features as satisfaction with relations with colleagues; satisfaction with management personnel relations; satisfaction with job conditions; sense of success in professional work. The behavioral component includes such indicators as readiness for energy expenditure and a socially active strategy of problem solving. These indicators have been empirically investigated for the groups of youth with low, average and high economic statuses. The performed correlative analysis has shown the existing significant links between these indicators and economic statuses of youth. The one-factor dispersion analysis has shown that young people of all three groups have statistical differences for all components, but the greatest differences are between young people with high and low economic statuses.
