The article analyzes the problem of the correlation between professional well-being and organizational commitment of specialists in the field of IT in Ukraine. The concept of "professional well-being" is defined as the psychological state of the employee associated with the efficiency and productivity of his work; the concept of "organizational commitment" as an emotional attachment, identification with the norms and values of the organization, acceptance of goals, excessive work in the interests of the company. The professional well-being was studied according to the method of "Professional well-being" K. Ruth (indicators: autonomy in professional activity, competence, professional growth, positive relations in the team, professional goals, acceptance of oneself as a professional, general indicator); and organizational commitment according to the method of "Professional demand for personality" O. Kharitonova (indicators: satisfaction with the realization of professional potential, belonging to the professional community, experiencing professional demand, professional competence, professional authority, evaluation of professional results, attitude to others, self- esteem and general indicator of personal demand in the professional plan) and the Questionnaire of J. Meyer and N. Allen "Scale of organizational commitment" (indicators: affective loyalty, normative loyalty, continuance loyalty). The correlation between professional well-being and organizational commitment has been empirically identified by correlation analysis. Loyalty scales have been found to be negatively correlated with professional well-being scales, suggesting that the more competent an IT professional considers himself, the less likely he is to become loyal to an organization. It is concluded that the structure of professional well-being and commitment to the company of IT employees has its own characteristics and requires more detailed further research.

The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical research on IT workers’ professional well-being. Professional well-being is defined as an integral concept that includes both positive and negative factors that develop independently, as a psychological state of the employee, associated with the efficiency of his work and the satisfaction of life in general. The results of the empirical study revealed that the average level of professional well-being of IT workers prevails. It was found that most workers have a medium level of autonomy, some freedom in activities, and feel competent to change the professional environment. For them, the opportunity for professional growth is essential. The presence of professional goals that correlate with their values means improving their professional self. The most crucial professional well-being components of IT workers are professional growth, the formation of professional goals, and positive relationships in the workplace. The correlation analysis results showed that the experience has a positive effect on professional well-being and attitude to oneself as a professional. Professional autonomy is formed on experience, a sense of demand for activities, and positive reinforcement of the work results. Freedom of action is an integral feature of a professionally developed professional. Professional competence is acquired in the course of professional activity, and at the same time, the professional well-being of the specialist, the success of activity, and authority increase. Positive relationships with the team and colleagues’ attitude to the employee as a professional are essential for professional well-being. The critical construct of IT workers’ professional well-being is professional growth as the main predictor of job change. Professional demand is a motive for self-realization in the profession. The work results allow the specialist to feel like a professional and a member of a particular reference group.

The article discusses the problem of self-actualization of a personality in its professional activity and achieving the peak of its personal development. Based on the analysis of various psychological theories and concepts it is shown that achieving of “acme” by a personality is based on the desire to grow and develop professionally or on its desire for self-actualization. Self-actualization can be better seen during the periods of professional crisis, which activate the processes of professional self-determination of a personality. One of the types of crisis is the transition from the level of normative requirements to the level of professional competence. Judging by the example of results of some investigations it is proved that there are differences in attitude to profession and desire to grow and develop professionally in people with working experience under and over 5 years, which can be conditioned by the crisis mentioned above. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in counseling practices of psychological services connected with professional growth, by HR professionals, with the aim of promotion and professional growth of employees, and in development of programs for development and harmonization of internal and external conditions for self-actualization of a person. Key words: self-actualization, potential, professional self-actualization, acme, professional development, professional crisis, achievement motivation, career orientations.

Modern Russia, being the agrarian-industrial country, sharply feels the need for highly qualified specialists of the agrarian sector. It is promoted by the new vector of the development directed to full import substitution of agricultural food. In these conditions, the inconsistency of the existing system of vocational education in Russia was revealed to the modern requirements of the domestic labor market. The professional community states the problem of staff shortage on the background of the annual numerous inflows of university graduates to the labor market. This situation has the right to claim that young specialists are often not ready for the independent professional activity according to their qualification.At the heart of many attempts to identify the primary sources of trouble in terms of staffing of the agricultural sector lies, first of all, the idea of over-theoretically preparing of the future specialists in universities and the substantive content of federal educational standards on which the universities are oriented in the context of the implementation of educational initiatives.It is assumed that the content of standards, verified and regulated by the ministry, determines the essence of the training of students of different educational levels and different areas of training. However, in the implementation in educational process of GEF of several “generations”, the incompatibility of the formed competencies showed the real needs of the professional community. These facts became the primary reason for the annual approval of new requirements for higher education and, finally, focused on professional standards.The initial assumption is that the agrarian sector specialist should receive a practical-oriented education that forms professional and legal competence as the basis for future professional activity.
