The business communication culture is an inalienable aspect of the professional activity of military personnel. The analysis of the essence and content of the business communication culture demonstrated by military students revealed some gaps in the development of this academic discipline in the military universities of the Russian Federation. The need to study this problem is acquiring scientific topicality and practical importance. The military service persons are more actively involved into business activities now but their level of preparedness to conduct business communication in the social and service sphere is rather low. Scientific and practical solutions to this contradiction can become an important component in the general program of transformations in the training of military specialists and further research. This research aimed to determine the conditions for the effective functioning of the process of forming a business communication culture among students of military universities. The practical task of the research was to form a business communication culture and to actualize the process of its formation among students of military universities. To solve the task, theoretical methods were used such as analysis of thesis research; comparative analysis of philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical literature; and study and generalization of advanced pedagogical experience. The methodological basis was a set of basic approaches, namely, systemic, activity-based, axiological, and cultural. The study showed that the effectiveness of the process of forming a business communication culture is ensured by the implementation of a framework of pedagogical conditions, which was developed in this study, and is determined by the selected research methodology and the peculiarities of the studied phenomenon, i.e. the business communication culture of military students.

There are presented results of a comprehensive study of the life quality of representatives of three reference groups of servicemen on contract: cadets of military high schools (n = 400), contracted servicemen of the units of power ministries and departments (n = 453), common soldiers and junior commanders (n = 357). The study was executed with the aid of the public survey, the performing of both psychological and functional load tests. This work is notable for the complexation of indices which characterize socio-hygienic, psychological and medical aspects of the life quality, life values, life satisfaction, and specific features of the military profession. Results of the study, which differ from the prior investigation by inclusion of indices characterizing the specific features of military-professional activity, lifestyle and spirituality, for the first time made it possible to assess the life quality related to health, taking into account the axiological values in life and important needs of the studied population. Changes in the life quality indices of contract servicemen were shown to be more sensitive to changes in their health than the traditional clinical-laboratory and instrumental data, which allows to recommend a wide practical use of the monitoring the life quality for professional selection and medical support of the military service, including the implementation of measures on optimization of psychological climate in military units, and the personification of the complex of therapeutic-recreational measures. The results allow us to recommend to military medical commissions of military commissariats in the call of citizens for military service under contract to carry out studies of quality and lifestyle of recruits for the early detection of groups of risk for their health. The program of in-depth medical examinations of military-contract there is recommended to include research aimed at identifying adverse social and hygienic factors of service and living conditions, psychopathological personality traits, rehabilitation and psychological climate in a military collective, execution of a personalized set of therapeutic measures.

Annotation. An important component of psychophysiological support of professional activity of flight crew is the diagnosis of their psychoemotional status. That is why the aim of the work was to identify the features of the psycho-emotional state of military and civilian pilots by comparative analysis of the results of assessing their personal qualities. For this purpose, psychological methods of research of semantic basic attitudes, responsibility and honesty are used. The survey covered 200 civilian and 100 military pilots. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using methods of descriptive statistics, implemented using the statistical package MS Exel. It is established that in terms of verbal and emotional dependence, dependence on achievements, demanding and responsible for themselves, all pilots have an adequate level of development. However, in terms of demanding others, only military pilots have adequate personality development. According to the characteristics of responsibility, its level is expressed inherent in civilian pilots, while the military have a situational manifestation. Assessing the processes of planning, organizing and performing professional duties (integrity) revealed that military pilots have a low self-esteem of their abilities, they are quite lazy, insecure. They are driven by spontaneity in making important decisions. Civilian pilots have a much higher level of self-esteem, confidence, concentration and ability to solve life’s problems. They are more careful and prudent when making responsible decisions. They clearly show a sense of moral and professional duty. Thus, it can be concluded that the identified features of the distribution of military and civilian pilots according to the level of development of personal qualities are primarily related to certain features of the nature of work and due to the peculiarities of military service. This situation requires the introduction of psychological methods for assessing the psycho-emotional state of flight crew during the implementation of psychophysiological support.

Introduction. The professional activity of servicemen is a special kind, where the coordination of their actions is important for the performance of the task, the preservation of life. This is the kind of professional activity in which mistakes of mutual understanding, inconsistency of actions are very expensive. Therefore, it is expedient and promising to focus on the peculiarities of the formation and functioning of service interaction in the military-professional environment under the influence of its existing organizational culture. Purpose. The study is driven by a desire to focus on defining organizational (corporate) culture as a factor in the existence of a military unit in general and on service interaction in the interests of the ability to perform military service tasks. Methods. To achieve the goal of the study, the following methodological tools were selected: Parametric sociometry, for which a questionnaire was developed. To assess the socio-psychological characteristics of military unit a relatively new method for research in military psychology and very well known in organizational psychology (management psychologists), namely the method of diagnosing organizational culture K. Cameron and R. Quinn OSAI (Organization Culture Assessment Instrument) was used. A survey was also conducted on the level of readiness for service of each serviceman and the intensity of service. Results. The application of these methods in the empirical study made it possible to obtain information of an empirical nature, which was processed by applying factor analysis by the method of "principal component analysis" in the software SPSS - 20. Conclusion. Service interaction of servicemen in the performance of their combat missions is extremely necessary not only to achieve appropriate results, but also to save lives. It is not common enough in the vast majority of situations. Organizational and psychological features of the formation of service interaction in the performance of military service tasks are strong formal leadership, a sufficient level of complexity, as well as the intensity of service tasks, through which servicemen are more focused on each other and, thus, more focused on better service tasks.

The article analyzes the psychological and pedagogical problem of determining the goals and principles of the formation of the professional subjectivity of future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during training in higher military educational institutions. The urgency of the problem of the formation of the professional subjectivity of the future officer is due to the challenges facing the Ukrainian state in preserving its territorial integrity and inviolability. The Armed Forces of Ukraine need officers who are able to effectively and successfully manage military teams, make informed decisions and bear conscious responsibility for them. One of the defining tasks for the VNUZ, which trains future officers, is to form a complex of professionally determined competencies for a graduate. In addition, a modern officer must be able to quickly adapt to different conditions of military professional activity, change it and improve on the basis of independently acquired knowledge, find ways to successfully solve military professional tasks in any non-standard situations, including when performing combat tasks. In situations of uncertainty inherent in the conditions of performance of service and especially combat tasks, the leading contradiction of the military professional training of a cadet, a future officer, manifests itself in the development of professional competence based on the standards of military activity, which determines the preparedness, ability and readiness to solve a certain limited range of standard tasks in typical conditions of military activity, while the experience of performing tasks of military service, first alternate in the terms of engagement for military action, requires the officer find creative options for action, management decisions, beyond certain patterns.
