All over the world, the timber industry is one of the most physically hazardous industries. Working in such conditions is accompanied by an increase in the risk of unfavorable functional states and a critical decrease in professional reliability. Monitoring the workers’ state during the shift period will allow to determine the adaptation degree of personnel to work, as well as to identify the days of the shift arrival with a high risk of injury caused by the unfavorable state of workers.The aim. To identify and describe the functional states dynamics of loggers during the entire shift period in the Far North as their adaptation degree to work.Methods. Objective: collection of saliva for the determination of cortisol, psychophysiological instrumental methods; projective: M. Luscher’s color test; subjective – questionnaire “Well-being. Activity. Mood” by V.А. Doskin et al.; statistical methods: descriptive statistics. The study involved 24 shift workers of a logging enterprise, with whom we conducted daily monitoring of objective, projective and subjective characteristics of their functional state in the morning and evening during a fourteenday shift visit.Results. According to the objective, projective and subjective indicators of functional states, their consistently favorable level is observed with multidirectional peaks during the shift change period and a slight decrease at the end of the shift, which demonstrates the staff’ adaptability to work. The operator performance is somewhat higher in the second half of the shift period, but in general it is below average due to the reduced quality of task performance. An increased free cortisol level was revealed in employees during the entire shift period with a high functional reserves level of the body. During the shift change period, the risks associated with the efficiency and safety of labor increase, which undoubtedly requires consideration by the management of enterprises.

An analysis of modern research has shown insufficient study of the labor factors that influence the development of various functional states of non-departmental security officers which allow to develop the recommendations to improve their psychological safety.   The aim of the study. To identify and to describe psychosocial factors at work in relation to the general functional state of the body, stress and performance of non-departmental security officers.   Methods. We used the General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychological and Social Factors at Work (QPSNordic), psychophysiological testing using “Psychophysiologist” device, M. Lüscher color preference test, multivariate statistical methods. The study involved 74 non-departmental security officers of the Arkhangelsk region.   Results. The general functional state of the body, stress and performance, measured by objective and projective methods, are differentially interconnected with psychosocial factors at work. The general functional state of the body is related with the personal attitude to the work performed; stress and performance – with factors of social support, organizational culture and work requirements. The general functional state of non-departmental security officers is favorably influenced by such factors as understanding the goals of the work performed and the expected results, satisfaction with the quality of work and labor safety. Insufficient ability to maintain good relations with the team unfavorably influences the general functional state of the officers. The factors of work intensity include one-type tasks, tight schedule, increased alertness during work and greater precision in movements. Risk factors are associated with strict working hours and insufficient attention of the manage-ment to the opinion and interests of subordinates. At the same time, the environmental resource is the possibility of realizing professional motives and demonstrating mastery in work, as well as a favorable organizational culture.

The article presents research data on the identification of personality determinants of various types of deviant behavior of students of secondary vocational education institutions. The study is retrospective because based on the recorded objective manifestations of various types of deviant behavior of students during their training in an educational institution. The study involved 82 students — boys and girls aged 15 to 17 years. We studied the following types of deviant behavior: socio-psychological maladaptation, primary deviation, addictive behavior, aggressive behavior and delinquent behavior. Objective indicators for each type of deviant behavior were recorded on the basis of the personal data of students. Personal- ity determinants were evaluated using psychological testing techniques. The study found that the most common types of deviant behavior are primary deviation and delinquent behavior. The study found that the personal determinants of the socio-psychological maladaptation of students are dominance, affection, cooperation, respect for others, carefree, emotive and curious; primary deviation — the manifestation of feelings, plasticity; addictive behavior — a tendency to overcome norms and rules, a violation of volitional control of emotional reactions; aggressive behavior — respect for others, expressiveness, artistry, demon- strativeness, excitability, emotiveness, a tendency to self-destructive behavior; delinquent behavior — cooperation, respect for others, dymism cyclotymic, a tendency to overcome norms and rules, a tendency to addictive behavior. Common personal determinants that are characteristic of different types of deviant behavior are cooperation, respect for others, emotionality, a tendency to overcome norms and rules, hypertimity, cyclotimicity, stuck and exalted.

Background. Insufficient knowledge of the professional deformation of bailiffs with the accumulated research material that reveals the essence of this phenomenon, as well as the need to take into account the specifics of the activity and individual and personal characteristics of this category of employees, determine the relevance of this study.The aim: to identify and describe the individual and personal qualities of bailiffs with various professional deformation types.Material and methods. In this work, the following research methods were used: the author’s questionnaire for assessing seven types of professional personal deformation; psychological testing of individual and personal qualities using methods regulated by departmental documents; statistical methods (descriptive statistics, two-stage cluster and correlation analyzes). The study involved 277 employees of the Federal Bailiff Service of the Arkhangelsk region.Results. Bailiffs showed such professional deformations as overcontrol, authoritarianism and conservatism. The interrelation of all professional deformation types severity with the individual and personal qualities of the bailiffs, which are among the professionally important qualities, has been established. At the same time, the insufficient expression of these qualities contributes to the professional deformation development. The only exceptions are the level of active communication and normativity, which, with excessive development, also contribute to the appearance of personality deformations and contribute to a decrease in the effectiveness of activities. Most types of character accentuations and their various combinations contribute to the professional deformation development of bailiffs, i. e., are her personality markers. Moderate severity of the dysthymic type of character accentuation reduces the likelihood of developing occupational deformity.Conclusion. Within the framework of the practical use of the results of this study, it is necessary, when conducting professional selection of personnel and periodic assessment of personnel, to pay attention to the level of expression of professionally important qualities that have a relationship with key types of professional deformation. This will allow timely implementation of measures to prevent the development of professional deformations of employees.

Introduction. The work specifics of Russian private security officers contribute to the employees’ psychological risks development. There are not enough scientific studies devoted to the study of private security officers’ functional states and professional deformations as criteria for their psychological risks. Materials and methods. The study involved 74 private security officers. The study purpose was to evaluate and describe the functional states and professional deformations, and their relationship as criteria for psychological risks of Russian private security officers. To solve the tasks set, the author’s questionnaire was used to study the professional deformation types of law enforcement officers and instrumental psychophysiological testing methods of the employees’ functional state and operator performance. Statistical methods are multivariate analysis of variance, contingency tables using Pearson’s χ2 tests. Results. Against the background of sufficient internal resources, employees of private security have a reduced functional state level when working on night shifts, as well as on weekends. The employees are characterized by an optimal operator performance level in day and night shifts, due to the volitional regulation of their state. The prevailing professional deformation types for employees are overcontrol, conservatism and authoritarianism, which are expressed at an average level. A statistically significant relationship was established between the professional deformation of conservatism and the functional state level of private security officers. Limitations. The present study limitations are the relatively small sample size and the lack of comparison with units in other regions. Prospective studies on larger samples collected in other units and regions could help us explore this topic in more depth. Conclusion. The results and conclusions obtained make it possible to expand the options for assessing psychological risks of private security officers and develop practical recommendations for their reduction.
