Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the specifics of the psychological characteristics of the personality of employees of construction companies that determine the level of their professional success.
In the Introduction, the definition of professional success is given, the specifics of the professional activity of the builder from the point of view of psychological knowledge are given.
The section "Methods" describes the main methods of empirical research: the author's questionnaire, the questionnaire "Self-esteem level" S. V. Kovalev; "Career anchors" E. Shane; Personal decision-making factors (T. V. Kornilova); Express diagnostics of barriers in management activities; Diagnostics of the realization of self-development needs (N.P. Fetiskin). Spearman's R-criterion was used in data processing. The study involved 50 employees of construction companies aged 28 to 53 years with at least 3 years of managerial experience.
The Results section presents the results of a relatively high and average level of self-esteem of highly successful builders. Using Spearman's R-criterion, a group of highly successful builders with a high level of self-esteem revealed a positive relationship with such parameters of value orientations in a career as management, service and integration of lifestyles, and such a decision-making strategy as vigilance. A negative correlation was found with the motivational component of self-development. A group of highly successful builders with an average level of self-esteem has a positive relationship with such a parameter of value orientations in a career as the integration of lifestyles, the degree of overload in the process of performing their tasks, and such decision-making strategies as over-vigilance and stability. A negative correlation was found with the motivational component of self-development.
The section "Discussion of the results" presents a comparative analysis of the data obtained by us with the results of other studies within the framework of the topic under study.
In Conclusion, the conclusions of the empirical study are presented and the question of the experimental nature of future research in this direction is raised.
