В статье рассматривается проблема недостаточной практической готовности сотрудников правоохранительных органов самостоятельно и успешно противостоять длительному негативному влиянию экстремальных условий, стресс-факторов и режимов труда. Готовность раскрывается через особенности взаимодействия их произвольной саморегуляции, нервно-психической устойчивости, самопознания, осознанности и самоопределения в процессе длительного выполнения задач, повышенных ответственности, сложности, напряженности и риска неблагоприятных последствий. Представлены результаты исследования одного из актуальных направлений повышения психологической защищенности сотрудников правоохранительных органов в процессе работы с ними по авторской психолого-дидактической программе. В основу разработки предложенных авторами модели учебно-профессиональной деятельности в критических ситуациях и целевой программы эффективного освоения в ее рамках навыков произвольной регуляции положены функции, роль, потенциальные возможности и задачи специалистов в области целевой психологической подготовки этой категории работников. Цель исследования заключалась в определении эффективности работы по данной программе с учетом особенностей саморегуляции, нервно-психической устойчивости и осознанности, выявленных у сотрудников правоохранительных органов в процессе учебно-профессиональной деятельности при повышенной, в том числе психологической, нагрузке. Представлены результаты исследования уровня нервно-психической устойчивости, параметров адаптивности, поведенческой регуляции, моральной нормативности, коммуникативного потенциала, личностного адаптивного потенциала, планирования, моделирования, програмирования, оценивания, гибкости, самостоятельности, общей саморегуляции, осознанности сотрудников правоохранительных органов на констатирующем этапе и после развивающей работы с ними по авторской программе, показывающие положительную динамику их развития. Сформулирован вывод о том, что развитие самосознания и способности к произвольной психической саморегуляции оказывает стабилизирующее влияние на внутреннее состояние и увеличивает эффективность деятельности. The article treats the issue of insufficient readiness of law enforcement officers to successfully and independently resist the negative influence of extreme conditions and stressors of their work routine. One’s readiness is manifested through efficient self-regulation, psychological resistance, self-actualization, and self-identification in the process of long-term fulfilment of highly responsible, complex tasks fraught with negative consequences and constraints. The article presents the results of a research designed to investigate the enhancement of law enforcement officers’ psychological security by means of a psychological training program elaborated by the authors of the article. The aforementioned program focuses on the efficient development of law enforcement officers’ self-regulation skills. It takes into consideration the professional functions, roles, potential skills and tasks performed by specialists whose work it is to ensure law enforcement officers’ psychological readiness to successfully resist the negative effects of the outer world. The aim of the research is to identify criteria that can be used to determine the efficiency of law enforcement officers’ self-regulation, psychological stability and awareness in extreme physical and mental conditions. The article presents the results of the investigation of law enforcement officers’ psychological stability, adaptivity, behavioural regulation, moral normativity, communicative potential, individual adaptive potential, planning, modelling, assessment, flexibility, independence, self-regulation, actualization. It underlines positive effects of the program on law enforcement officers’ skills development. The article maintains that the development of law enforcement officers’ self-regulation and actualization skills improves their inner stability and enhances the efficiency of their professional activities.

the article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of voluntary self-regulation and its role in the formation of the neuropsychiatric stability of law enforcement officers. The analytical review of the problem of scientific research devoted to self-regulation is presented. Self-regulation is considered in the context of the most complex and significant problems of personal stability in general and the specifics of stress resistance in law enforcement officers in their professional activities in particular. The essence and conceptual apparatus associated with the phenomenon of self-regulation are revealed from the perspective of different branches of scientific knowledge. A special place is given to the justification of the influence of voluntary self-regulation on the neuropsychiatric stability of the individual, while arbitrary self-regulation is considered as a process and result associated with self-knowledge, labor efficiency and professional longevity of employees.

AbstractThe positive effects of rule of law norms and institutions are often assumed in the peacebuilding literature, with empirical work focusing more on processes of compliance with international standards in war-torn countries. Yet, this article contends that purportedly ‘good’ rule of law norms do not always deliver benign benefits but rather often have negative consequences that harm the very local constituents that peacebuilders promise to help. Specifically, the article argues that rule of law promotion in war-torn countries disproportionately favours actors who have been historically privileged by unequal socio-legal and economic structures at the expense of those whom peacebuilders claim to emancipate. By entrenching an inequitable state system which benefits those with wealth, education, and influence, rule of law institutions have reinforced structural, social, and cost-related barriers to justice. These negative effects explain why war-torn societies avoid the formal courts and law enforcement agencies despite substantial international efforts to professionalise and strengthen these institutions to meet global rule of law standards. The argument is drawn from an historical, comparative, and empirical analysis of the UK-funded justice sector development programme in Sierra Leone and US-supported rule of law reforms in Liberia – two postwar countries often cited as prototypes of successful peacebuilding.

The aim of the present study was to examine parental experiences of homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic in families with or without a child with a mental health condition across Europe. The study included 6720 parents (2002 parents with a child with a mental health condition and 4718 without) from seven European countries: the United Kingdom (n=508), Sweden (n=1436), Spain (n=1491), Belgium (n=508), the Netherlands (n=324), Germany (n=1662) and Italy (n=794). Many parents found homeschooling to be of poor quality, with insufficient support from schools and general negative effects on both children and parents. In most countries, online teaching was uncommon, leaving parents with primary responsibility for managing their child’s schooling. Parents also reported increased levels of stress, worry, social isolation, and domestic conflict. A small number of parents reported increased parental alcohol/drug use. Some differences were found between countries and some effects were more pronounced in families with a child with a mental health condition. However, group differences were generally small, indicating that negative effects were present in many families across countries. It should also be noted that some parents reported positive effects of homeschooling for their child or themselves. The adverse effects of homeschooling will likely have a long-term impact and contribute to increased inequalities. Given that school closures have been argued to be less effective than other social distancing interventions, policymakers need to carefully consider the negative consequences of homeschooling during a possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics.

Regulation Strategies

Despite the advantages of using instant messaging (IM) for collaborative work, concerns about negative consequences associated with its disruptive nature have been raised. In this paper, the author investigates the mediating role of self-regulation, using a mixed methods approach consisting of questionnaires, focus groups, and interviews. The findings show that these concerns are warranted: IM is disruptive, and multitasking can lead to losses in productivity. Despite these negative consequences, users are active participants in IM and employ a wide range of self-regulation strategies (SRS) to control their overuse. The study found three key SRS: ignoring incoming messages, denying access, and digital or physical removal. The study also found two different approaches to self-regulation. The preventive approach, consisting of creating routines and practices around IM use that would help regulation, and the recuperative approach, consisting of changing behaviors after overuse had occurred. Communication via IM helps in the development of social capital by strengthening social ties among users, which can be useful for information exchange and cooperation. These positive effects provide a balance to the potential negative impact on productivity. Implications for theories of self-regulation of technology and for managerial practice are also discussed.

Transformational Leadership Style

While attractiveness has many positive effects in everyday life, it has been shown to negatively affect selection of female leaders, the so-called “beauty is beastly” effect. Yet, an impact on more profound variables, such as followers’ trust in and loyalty toward female leaders, remains unclear, as does its interaction with different leadership styles: transformational (characterized by charismatic behavior aimed at inspiring and motivating followers) versus transactional (characterized by a strong focus on task completion and respective rewards or punishments). We have therefore made the first empirical attempt to test the interaction effects of leader gender, leader attractiveness, and leadership style on followers’ trust and loyalty. Results from a laboratory experiment provide clear empirical support for the negative effects of attractiveness for female (but not male) leaders with a transformational leadership style. Attractiveness did not influence trust and loyalty toward male and female leaders with a transactional leadership style. The negative influence of leader attractiveness on trust and loyalty toward female transformational leaders was mediated by ascribed leader communion.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore how an authentic leader’s internal (self-regulation, self-awareness and internalised moral perspective) and external competencies (relational transparency and balance processing) influence nepotism, favouritism and cronyism (NFC). Design/methodology/approach The study used a quantitative research approach and respondents were sampled from private and public banks across the ten regions of Ghana using survey questionnaires. Overall, 127 branch managers and 997 subordinates were sampled. The collected data were analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and multiple regression was used to explore the influence the of authentic leadership (AL) competences on NFC. Findings On leader’s internal competences, the results revealed that self-awareness had a significant decreasing influence on nepotism in terms of operations, while internalised moral perspective had a significant increasing influence on favouritism in the context of position. Self-regulation did not have any significant influence on NFC. Regarding the leader’s external competences, relational transparency had a significant positive influence on favouritism and nepotism, while balance processing had a significant negative influence on favouritism and nepotism in the context of position and operations, respectively. Research limitations/implications The results suggest that AL competences have a mixed influence on NFC in the context of this study. However, the findings are limited to Ghana and cannot be generalised to countries that do not share a similar culture with Ghana such as countries in Europe, North and South America, Asia and even certain countries in Africa. Practical implications The authors advise family businesses to use free and fair measures to appoint or promote employees who have the required skills to manage the office rather than appointing family members to positions without merit. Training on AL and NFC should be conducted for managers to enable them to understand the potential negative effects of NFC on the employees and the organisation at large. Social implications Laws must be passed to guard against appointments or recruitments of employees in the public sector organisations based on NFC to minimise these unethical behaviours. Originality/value This is the first study which empirically explores AL competences influence on the leaders’ behaviour in the context of NFC.

Liberal Trade

If the purpose of legalization is to enhance international cooperation, more may not always be better. Achieving the optimal level of legalization requires finding a balance between reducing the risks of opportunism and reducing the potential negative effects of legalization on domestic political processes. The global trade regime, which aims to liberalize trade, has become increasingly legalized over time. Increased legalization has changed the information environment and the nature of government obligations, which in turn have affected the pattern of mobilization of domestic interest groups on trade. From the perspective of encouraging the future expansion of liberal trade, we suggest some possible negative consequences of legalization, arguing that these consequences must be weighed against the positive effects of legalization on increasing national compliance. Since the weakly legalized GATT institution proved sufficient to sustain widespread liberalization, the case for further legalization must be strong to justify far-reaching change in the global trade regime.

В статье рассматриваются основные принципы формирования и трансформации общественного мнения о полиции в гражданской среде, связанные с участием сотрудников правоохранительных органов в мероприятиях, направленных на предотвращение негативных последствий чрезвычайных ситуаций. Рассматриваются объективные риски, возникающие вследствие некорректной трактовки служебных действий сотрудников правоохранительных органов представителями гражданской сферы в условиях ограничения их возможностей с целью минимизации ущерба от чрезвычайной ситуации. Отмечается, что в условиях действия ограничительных мер на период объявления чрезвычайной ситуации усиливается негативное восприятие деятельности сотрудников органов внутренних дел. Оцениваются перспективы, связанные с улучшением социального восприятия полиции в результате освещения самоотверженности и высоких личных качеств сотрудников полиции, с риском для жизни и здоровья участвующих в борьбе с последствиями чрезвычайной ситуации и в спасении гражданского населения. Делается вывод о необходимости использования средств массовой информации как инструмента формирования общественного мнения в целях объективного отражения в общественном сознании россиян профессиональной деятельности работников правоохранительной системы. The paper examines the principles of the formation and transformation of public opinion about the police in the civilian environment, associated with the participation of law enforcement officers in measures aimed at preventing the negative consequences of emergencies. The publication considers the risks associated with the incorrect interpretation of the official actions of law enforcement officials by representatives of the civilian sphere in the context of limiting their capabilities in order to minimize damage from an emergency. The author evaluates the prospects related to improving the social perception of the police through highlighting the disregard of self and high personal qualities of police officers at risk to life and health of those involved in combating the consequences of an emergency and rescuing the civilian population. It is concluded that the media should be used as an instrument for the formation of public opinion in order to objectively reflect the professional activities of law enforcement officials in the public consciousness of Russians.
