PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN BUSINESS: GENDER ASPECTS Koryagina Natalya National Research University “Higher School of Economics”

Self-determination Self-determination can be expressed both in physical, intellectual and moral terms (personal identity). Self-determination can be expressed in terms of self-association with a certain social group (social identity).

Methodological bases of a psychological approach the problem of self-determination study were founded by S.L. Rubinstein. He investigated problem of professional determination in the context of determination problem, in the light of his principle – external causes work through the internal conditions.

Vocational determination is realizing the level of one’s own professional abilities, the structure of professional knowledge incentives and skills; understanding their compliance with the claims laid by the activity a person; experiencing that compliance as satisfaction with a chosen occupation.

In psychology the guest ions concerning personality formation of a businessman, his live values, the specificity of choosing the direction of professional growth, and also the factors influencing a person’s entering the world of business are poorly investigated.

The mechanism of self-determination as a process is searching new qualities of a person who appears in a problematic situation, taking decisions about oneself or one’s place in the environment, when previous notions turn out to be inappropriate for the situation. N.L. Ivanova’s study (2009)

Personality self-determination in business is accompanied by learning standards, rules, values and other aspects of community that a businessman belongs to. At the same time a person realizes the idea about his professionally important qualities, abilities and other characteristics providing professionalisation.

Business as social and vocational environment of personality development is only a part of psychological investigations objective area. Considering business as activity and social environment lets scientists make psychological analysis of a businesslike personality more properly.

Gender aspects: - the role of gender as a system of relative personality behavior in professional self- determination and his/her interaction in the social environment; - the role of gender as a system of specific expectations in relation to a personality status; that is, his/her understanding the model of behavior while choosing a profession.

The important role in approval of a gender stereotype about social roles fixedness, depending on a sex character, belongs to Talkota Parson and Robert Bails mutual gender complementarily concept. They studied gender differentiation in a structural-functional scheme. Gender stereotypes

The influence of gender aspects on professional personality self-determination is not only a process of personality self- actualization, but a choice of a life course too. It is also interconnection of a personality with social environment and the gaining of personal social experience.

The actuality of the problem Professional self-determination and personality self-realization in business is the result of influencing many interconnected external and internal factors where gender is a past of the system. Entering business environment and further professional activity may impact gender identification models, gender identity and social models of personality behavior accordingly, for example, styles of leadership.

Gender Gender is a complicated system of biological, personal and environmental determinants. There is a necessity in a deep study of the problem whether gender types and the process of professional self-determination are interconnected. If yes, how. It is important to understand what is dominant in this process and what influences the change of masculine-feminine gender stereotypes: sex assignment or a chosen occupation.

Our study The aim is: 1) detecting the factors which influence professional self-determination in business; 2) establishing the connection between gender and the process of self-determination in business environment. The object is: professional self-determination and management activity in a gender aspect. The subject is: the problem of professional personality self-determination in business. Gender aspect.

The methods of research: theoretical study analysis of professional self- determination and gender identity problems; testing techniques: techniques of studying structure and matter of identity: “Self-description of sex roles” S. Bam (BSRT), the technique called “Who am I?” of T. Macpartland - M. Koon; test-questionnaire of interpersonal relations diagnostics of T. Liry in a modified version of L.N. Sobchik;

techniques of investigating the level of professional self-determination: “Questionnaire of professional preferences” of G. Holland, personal differential; techniques of studying personal make-up: multifactorial personality questionnaire of R. Kettel; comparative analysis of the indexes based on test measurement of men and women having their own business or occupying a leading position.

We can suppose: Professional self-determination to a greater extent depends on external (favourable) conditions; personality self-determination depends on a person himself. Gender identity coinciding with biological and psychological sex character contributes to successful professional self- determination. Vague gender identity, low differentiation of sex reference bring down the influence of gender identity as a mechanism which impacts the choice of values, professional self-determination.

Personality male and female characteristics, revealed while defining self-actualization, are correlative with a traditional description of man and woman and they do not change in the process of their professional formation. Besides, knowledge and applying one’s specific personality peculiarities by both sexes enable more effective mastering management activity. In the process of male and female professionalization managers integrate different ideas: while forming professionally there appears congruence of personality professional self-representation.

To sum it up When choosing the style of leadership both men and women show really different models of business strategies which are based not on the gender-role peculiarities but on the demands for effectiveness. For all this it is necessary to search for models of combining male and female leadership types while running a firm.

A successful man is more “effective” in setting organizational goals and in a leadership quality parameter. A woman is more “effective” in the sphere of personnel motivating, communicating and decision- making. For alternatives analysis she derives benefit from knowledge and staff potential. As for control, men and women exercise it equally successfully. Potentials of man-leader and woman-leader advantages are mutually complementary.
