Abstract: The article is devoted to the important issue of professional self-fulfillment. The article analyzes an experimental study performed at the trade union organizations subordinated to the Kyiv City Council of Trade Unions. The objective laws of trade union employees’ professional self-fulfillment were studied during the experimental study. As a result of the experimental study analysis, the general factors of professional self-fulfillment of trade union organization employees were determined. The performed study allowed us to determine factors of professional self-fulfillment of trade union organization employees by their influence. Self-efficacy of a specialist is the most important and informative factor of general professional self-fulfillment, as well as internal and external professional self-fulfillment. It means that self-efficacy – a person's confidence in his/her ability to organize and perform activities necessary for achieving certain goal - has the most significant influence on professional self-fulfillment. Internal professional motivation is the second most informative factor, which, together with self-efficacy, determines general professional self-fulfillment. Competence in time is the third significant factor of general professional self-fulfillment, as well as that of external professional self-fulfillment, which characterizes a person’s ability to live in the present. Such a component of the leadership talent as a person’s ability to give independence to subordinates is a sufficiently significant factor of external professional self-fulfillment, as well as behavior flexibility, which, together with the above indicators reach the informative level. Behavior flexibility, which determines a person’s ability to respond quickly and adequately to a changing situation, becomes particularly import for trade union leaders, since it is one of their professionally important qualities/

Abstract: The article presents the results obtained from the empirical research aimed at identifying of the psychological factors of professional self-fulfillment of school psychologists. It is established that the most important factor of professional self-fulfillment of school psychologists among used psychodiagnostic indicators, is the level of professional self-efficacy. This factor was prominent as for all three generalized indicators of professional self-realization (general level, levels of internal and external professional self-fulfillment) and for seven out of ten signs that these levels make. Another important factor influencing the indicators of professional self-realization of school psychologists is the indicator of self-esteem scale (according to SAT), which implies the ability of a person to appreciate their dignity, positive qualities of character and respect for them. Important factors in the professional self-realization of school psychologists are also indicators of the scale of "value orientations" and the scale "views on the nature of man" (for SAT), which characterize the connection between the level of professional self-realization and the extent to which school psychologists share the values inherent in aspiring individuals to self-actualization, as well as the tendency to generally perceive human nature in a positive way. Investigating the factors of professional self-realization of specialists, and among them - school psychologists, and promotion of professional self-realization of specialists can be considered as one of the most important problems of modern domestic psychological science. Prospects for further research are to develop, based on the results obtained, practical technological approaches aimed at promoting of self-fulfillment of school psychologists.

Abstract: The article discusses the actual problem of self-fulfillment in professional activities, which means a person’s power for constant professional development, self-perfection and self-determination in order to achieve the peaks of professionalism. The article shows that self-fulfillment is a manifestation of a person’s essential, transformative activities, always aimed at the full manifestation and the maximized use of his/her efforts to achieve desired results; therefore, namely in the professional activities, self-fulfillment acts fully as a system-forming factor allowing achievement of the two-fold goal of such activities: their ultimate results and the person’s development as an activity agent. The highest point of such development is achievement of the top of professionalism - acme. The analysis of main concepts to the study of the phenomenon of professional self-fulfillment has been made from the points of views of: systemic, systemic-genetic (professional-genetic), activity, subjective, systemic personality-developmental, synergetic, acmeological, resource, axiological, psychosocial approaches. The fragmentation and variety in views on the nature and place of self-fulfillment in professional development are revealed; the positions unifying the considered approaches are formulated.

Abstract: The article presents the results of the empirical study determining the factors of university lecturers’ professional self-fulfillment by the means of regression analysis.
The article shows that a person’s life success is related directly to satisfaction of his/her need for constant personal and professional growth and self-fulfillment as a process and a result of his/her life goal achieving. University lecturers are not only a bright representative of socionomy professions, but also key figures in professional training, ensuring the social and professional ascent of future professionals. Their scientific and pedagogical activities are intellectual creative work, which, as is well known, has a high cultural status, and individual talents of university lecturers determine the degree of education and science at all. Aspiration of these professionals to self-knowledge and active fulfilment of their educational and scientific tasks is the manifestation of their general intention to self-actualization and self-development, and hence to self-fulfillment in the profession.
The performed statistical analyses of the experimental data and the qualitative interpretations of the regression analysis show that the indicators used in the study techniques and tests and the indicators of expert assessment of lecturers’ professional competence and its key components are sufficiently informative to determine their professional self-fulfillment. The following general factors of university lecturers’ professional self-fulfillment influencing achievement of self-fulfillment in the profession have been identified: “creativity during professional interactions” at the general level of professional self-fulfillment; “creativity during professional interactions” and “motivational criteria of communicative competence during professional interactions” at the level of internal professional self-fulfillment; “creativity during professional interactions” at the level of external professional self-fulfillment.
Therefore, the “creativity during professional interactions” is the most prominent predictor of the high level of professional self-fulfillment (general, internal professional and external professional) achieved by these specialists. The regression models including this indicator are characterized by a high degree of predictability (R = 0.71 – 0.90; R2 = 0.51 – 0.81). Thus, creativity, as the ability to non-standard resolution of communicative tasks, as a manifestation of creativity in the communicative-speech components of the professional activities and as a form of pedagogical interaction, determines mostly university lecturers’ professional self-fulfillment and implementation of its internal and external professional forms
In addition, the internal professional self-fulfillment of these specialists is determined by a number of such sufficiently expressed factors; these are the key criteria of the communicative competence: an instrumental criterion, as well as (in its composition) “adequacy during professional interactions”, the motivational criteria and the “reflection of professional interactions” element of the cognitive criterion; the professional competence criteria, including creative, self-educational and pedagogical; the parameters of lecturers’ non-verbal expressiveness: “formal-dynamic parameters of non-verbal behaviour” and “ability to manage and reflect non-verbal behaviour during pedagogical interactions’; “value orientations”, “rapport” and, finally, "the ability to express own thoughts”.
In turn, the lecturer’s external professional self-fulfillment is determined by such, quite pronounced, main factors: “internal professional motivation” and “external positive motivation”; “professional competence”, including “informational competence”; “creativity” (in life); the instrumental criterion of the communicative competence includes “adequacy during professional interactions”, the cognitive criterion includes “construction of effective communicative programs” and the motivational criterion include “the motive for communicative difficulty overcoming”.
Keywords: professional self-fulfillment, regression analysis, factors (predictors) self-fulfillment, professional competence, scientific and pedagogical activities, specialists of scientific and pedagogical profile.

Abstract: The article describes the phenomenon of psychological well-being as an integral entity, manifested in a degree of personal orientation towards implementation of the main components of positive functioning, as well as a degree of implementation of this orientation, which is subjectively perceived as satisfaction with one's own life and oneself. As an internal personal resource, psychological well-being is considered as the basis of personal psychological security. As an integral personal entity, psychological well-being functions dynamically and therefore it is a personal motivational parameter, the degree of its expressiveness depends on realism, structuring, integrity (consistency of the past, present and future), of the system of personal attitudes and life perspectives, which includes goals, plans, values and aspirations. The article determines that personal psychological well-being correlates with the value-sense orientations (life goals, a life process, efficiency of life) and personal resilience. Therefore, personal psychological well-being can be understood as a psychological basis of personal security, having a self-regulatory function of preserving of personal integrity and stability as a psychological system. The personal potential of psychological well-being means materialization of innate resources accumulated by a person as a result of comprehension of links between personal past, present and future in terms of implementation of own capabilities and achievement of life prospects - reserves of full realization in the present and possibilities of development of personal vital forces, labour and spiritual capabilities in the future.

Abstract: The article describes personal autonomy in terms of the self-determination theory. It shows that personal autonomy determines how much a person, performing actions and deeds in interactions with the outside world, is based on their own choice. Personal autonomy describes mechanisms of personal self-regulation and self-determination that are implemented in the form of an informed choice of actions and take into accounts both internal aspirations and external life conditions. Psychological criteria of self-determination mean flexibility in managing of personal own interactions with the environment. A self-determined person acts on the basis of their own choice, not through coercion or obligation, and this choice is based on understanding of their needs and comparing them with external conditions. An autonomy level, as well, and the need for autonomy is increased with person’s development, with increasing of confidence in themselves and in their personal and intellectual potential, in their own ability to overcome difficulties and stresses. The article determines other personality constructs that reveal personal self and are related with formation and development of personal autonomy. The task to compare a personal autonomy level with such personal formations as self-attitude, self-efficiency and psychological hardiness, self-actualization is interesting and important. Appropriate techniques for study of mutual relations of personal autonomy and related phenomena are determinated.
Keywords: personal autonomy, self-determination, autonomy development, methodological tools.

At the current crisis conditions of social development, the role of one risk factor of personality is increased significantly. It is maintaining of mental health at adolescence, since this period is characterized by professional and social uncertainty of the future. That is why the task to identify psychological tools that help people to overcome such difficult situations without losing health is become more and more important. Hardiness is considered as a complex integral property of a person, which is represented as a three-level construct, including levels corresponding to the hierarchical structure of personality properties. Hardiness is a necessary resource that can contribute to increasing physical and mental health, successful adaptation in stressful situations, with the transition to the level of transadaptation associated with self-determination and self-realization of the individual. The applied aspect of hardiness is determined by the role that its personal parameter plays in tolerance to stressful situations. The applied aspect of hardiness means that personal formation plays in the successful confrontation of the individual with stressful situations, primarily in the professional activities of the individual. Overcoming a person's unfavorable conditions are one of the specific forms of manifestation of its personality traits for its development.

Abstract: The article analyzes the phenomenon of personal self-organization of Paralympic athletes in sports activities, its components and factors. The correlation between athletes’ self-organization, their self-motivation and the personal qualities having the value-meaning basis is shown. The next personality parameters are singled out in the self-organization structure: an aspiration for freedom and independence; a desire for self-development and self-realization, a need for achievements; certainty of purposes and meaningfulness of life; high level of self-organization at time planning and management; capability to control life events, persistence, planning abilities, purposefulness; self-confidence and self-confidence; a sense of competence in everyday affair management. Self-organization is a conscious process of self-improvement aimed at solving of personally meaningful tasks. The obtained results testify to the importance of personal self-organization development for successfulness of personal activities and sports achievements. We can argue from the systematic consideration of the personal determinants of a person’s successful activities, that the phenomenon of personal subjectivity means a certain pattern of the parameters of personal subsystems interconnected functionally within a person’s holistic self-determination system. The article confirms that personal traits of Paralympic athletes have close internal structural interconnections and interdependences, so personal determination on success in sports is based on a complicated and multidimensional system of personal self-organization and such factors as personal autonomy, self-expression, purposefulness, planning ability, persistence, etc. are important for this system.
