Psychological manifestations of professional marginality of future social welfare professionals

Abstract

The purpose is to examine psychological manifestations of professional marginality and determine if future social welfare professionals have its structural components. Professional marginality is considered as a connection disruption in the system “person – profession – society”. The study establishes that the main factors of the formation of professional marginality are socially determined, professionally determined and personality factors. Factor analysis determines four models of the profession: 1) Awareness of one’s professional efficiency (competence, knowledge and skills) (“Personal model of the profession” (23.51%); the sub-system “person and profession”); 2) Awareness of social significance of the profession (“Social model of the profession” (18.31%); the sub-system “profession and society”); 3) Awareness of oneself as an in demand professional (“Individual model of the profession” (9.39%); the sub-system “professional and society”); 4) Lack of significant correlations with the indexes of professional identity / professional marginality and demand for the profession, the domination of extraversion and neuroticism (“Communicative model of the profession” (7.46%); it partly reflects the sub-system “profession and society”).
