Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of personal factors of self-government of servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine. It has been determined that the general ability to self-governance is an important condition for the effective performance of professional activities in complex and atypical conditions. It has been noted that the formed ability to self-governance implies a positive attitude to oneself based on a high assessment of relevant and practically implemented knowledge, skills and abilities, which provides an attitude to unconditionally overcome a difficult situation and perform the task. Emotional and volitional, intellectual and communicative personal characteristics as substantive components of self-government in the National Guard of Ukraine have been analysed.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of emotional and volitional, intellectual and communicative personal characteristics of the servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine. It has been found that the ability to self-governance is associated with conscious adherence to professional norms and values. Their emotional stability allows them to maintain clarity in the vision of the goals of their activities. It has been found that servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine who did not participate in hostilities are more capable of self-government if they are confident in the correctness of what they do and are able to apply the professional knowledge they have acquired in changing circumstances. It has been concluded that the ability to self-governance of the servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine is derived not so much from individual stable communicative, intellectual, emotional and volitional personal characteristics, but depends on the general ability to trust oneself, one's professional knowledge and skills.
