The present article deals with an actual problem of medicine – emotional burnout among the staff. Among all professions, it is medical workers that are the most exposed to the development of this phenomenon. The authors analyzed the level of satisfaction with the chosen specialty among psychiatrists and narcologists of Ivanovo and Yaroslavl regions, assessed their working conditions, peculiarities of interaction with related specialists, the motives for multiple jobholding as well as correlation of these parameters with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduction of professional achievements. The results of the study find a significant connection between negative perception of working conditions and individual prospects in the profession with the phenomenon of emotional burnout. Multiple jobholding is typical more for psychiatrists than for narcologists, more often the reasons for multiple jobholding are financial dissatisfaction, less often – desire for novelty. All doctors are interested in referring the patient to additional consultations with related specialists, especially psychotherapists and psychologists. Significant differences in subjective assessing the working conditions between regions are revealed, Yaroslavl region is positively leading.

The stress represents an adaptation reaction of the human body to external or internal factors, with the tendency to restore its balance, the negative effects of the stress being related to the actions of catecholamine and cortisone, to the decline of the gamma interferon secretion and NK cells inhibition. The physical and mental/ emotional stress sustained during a professional activity (especially by medical staff) can lead to an overloading syndrome, named burnout syndrome, with 3 (three) phases: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment. Resilience represents the native resistance (or gained during the lifetime) of a person to physical or mental/emotional stress. The purpose of this research was to establish the effect of stress on the medical staff, especially ICU staff (Intensive Care Unit), and to study the resilience as protection against stress. Materials and methods. Using Maslach burnout questionnaire and the resilience scale – questionnaires applied to 300 subjects (ICU batch: 75 ICU physicians, 75 ICU nurses; the witness batch: 75 physicians of other specialities and 75 nurses of other specialities) from 11 hospitals in Bucharest, during the year 2015. Were used SPSS program, Pearson corelations, Anova test and the descriptive data analysis function for the information collected from the subjects. We could notice significant statistic differences between the four subcategories – as regarding the burnout scores for emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, professional fulfillment and resilience, with significance threshold less than 0,05. Conclusion. Resilience is lower in case of medical staff (physicians and nurses) with significant increases of emotional exhaustion scale and depersonalization scale of Maslach questionnaire; nurses are less affected by the difficulties of the activities within ICU sections comparing to ICU physicians regarding the professional stress degree, the results revealed that the less affected by the professional stress are the nurses of other specialities; resilience turned out to be a real buffer as regarding the professional stress; resident physicians (with low experience and a high stress vulnerability) are the most exposed to the harmful action of the burnout syndrome.

Aim. The presented study aims to conduct a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of creativity as a resource for the development of a service enterprise through the example of the creative activity of event agencies. Tasks. The authors examine the phenomenon of creativity and develop a theoretical framework for considering creativity as a resource for the development of a service enterprise through the example of event agencies; identify the indicators of creativity of a service enterprise; develop a scale of creativity of event agencies operating in the modern services market. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study includes the works of Russian and foreign scientists and experts in the field of creativity and its use as a resource for the development of service enterprises. The authors use the phenomenological method (to examine the phenomenon of creativity as a whole), comparative (comparison of approaches, ideas, and experience of different countries in the field of creative activity), hermeneutical (interpretation of various aspects related to the analysis of creativity), and systems analysis. To examine the indicators of creativity of event agencies, this study uses quantitative and qualitative analysis of information materials published on the official websites of the examined cities, convention and event agencies, statistics of professional associations of congress and exhibition organizations, including the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), as well as other analytical reports, expert opinions, and applied research on the topic. The study analyzes statistics on the number and themes of events held in each city, event infrastructure, the range of provided services, and the level of service. The cities are then comparatively analyzed based on the results of examination of each city, and general conclusions are formulated. Results. The main problem addressed by this study is associated with the concept of “creativity”, its content, degree, limits, and risks. The scientific novelty of the study is predicated upon the insufficient investigation of the problem of creativity as a resource for the development of a service enterprise. This study is one of the first attempts to develop a methodology for comprehensively analyzing the phenomenon of creativity with regard to event agencies. The results obtained during the study are vital for the theoretical conceptualization and practical solution of the problem of creativity in the context of economic knowledge: the key indicators of creativity of an event agency are identified and a creativity assessment model is developed based on the range of possible manifestations of creativity in the professional activity of event agencies. Creativity is analyzed as a resource for the development of a service enterprise through the example of the activity of event agencies. Eight indicators of creativity of an event agency are identified and an assessment scale is developed. The creativity indicators include “fluency”, “flexibility”, “originality”, “elaboration and synthesis”, “redirection”, “redefinition”, “reinitiation”, and “generation”. These eight indicators are incorporated into a creativity scale based on the Likert scale, which makes it possible to assess the degree (level) of creativity of an event agency on a scale of one to ten. As a result, the following problems are solved: the essence of the concept of “creativity” is determined and its main features are identified by analyzing the specific aspects of the modern MICE industry landscape. Scientific information on the topic is analyzed, systematized, and generalized. Russian and foreign experience of using creativity as a resource for the development of a service enterprise is comparatively analyzed. Conclusions. The special role of creativity as a resource for the development of an event agency is revealed, and the indicators of the agency’s creativity are formulated. A creativity scale is developed. The correlation between the competitiveness of a service enterprise and the use of the creative resource in its development is determined. This study is one of the first attempts to develop a methodology for comprehensively analyzing the phenomenon of creativity with regard to event agencies. The results of the study are important for the theoretical conceptualization and practical solution of the problem of creativity in the context of economic knowledge.
