“…Vēl nodarbināmības sakarā tiek uzsvērta spēja pielāgoties darbavietas kā organizācijas kultūrai, pašvadot savu profesionālo attīstību un karjeras izaugsmi organizācijā, tajā pašā laikā respektējot organizācijas attīstības mērķus, saskaņojot savus mērķus ar organizācijas kopējiem mērķiem. Konkurētspējīgiem speciālistiem ir jābūt proaktīviem, radošiem, iniciatīvas bagātiem, ar attīstītu analītisku prātu un kritisko domāšanu (Katane & Katans, 2016;Katans, 2019).…”

One of the tasks of modern education is to ensure the sustainability of higher education in the ever-changing environment in the context of globalization and glocalization. Under these conditions, cooperation in higher education is becoming more important as one of the manifestations of competitiveness. Socio-economic changes caused by globalization, internationalization and digitalisation of higher education, as well as the current demographic situation in Europe, including Latvia, raise the issue of the competitiveness of academic staff in a multi-level, multi-context and multifunctional higher education environment. The aim of the study is: based on the interdisciplinary approach, including transfer approach from economics and business sciences to educational sciences, to theoretically substantiate the competitiveness of university teachers in interaction with the multi-context and multi-level higher education environment, as well as the competitiveness of universities. The following research methods were used: study, analysis, and evaluation of scientific literature (theoretical research method); the reflection of own (the article authors') academic and scientific experience (empirical research method). The results of the research show that two tendencies can be distinguished in the substantiation of the competitiveness of university academic staff: 1) economists and business scientists, based on competition theories, use basic knowledge, findings in the development of the substantiation of competitiveness; 2) representatives of educational sciences and psychology develop a philosophical methodological base for research of specialists' competitiveness within their branches of science. In their research, the authors combine both of these approaches in conducting interdisciplinary research. Research results show that the competitiveness of the academic staff can be viewed in several aspects: 1) as a set of different characteristics (qualities) which are considered to be competitive advantages: 2) characteristics of competitive activities manifestations in the higher education environment. Three levels of the higher education environment are important in assessing the competitiveness of university teachers: the level of the local higher education environment (university level), the level of the national higher education environment and the level of the global higher education environment.

“…Since a programmer's professional self-development from the point of view of synergetic theory is a non-linear process, then within this process there might be both high and low peaks, therefore the programmer shall not only strive for achievements and success, thus experiencing satisfaction and joy for professional development and growth of own career, but he/she shall be ready also in crisis to find strength for a new developmental period (cycle), for example, when he/she faces professional burnout [1].…”

“…A programmer's professional development is a process of professional self-determination and career management, which takes place both vertically and horizontally. The career development at an IT company most often is a linear process; however, the programmer's lifelong professional development is a non-linear process [1].…”

Nowadays one of the important tasks of education, including vocational education, is to help to every human as an individual of the society, to a company as an organization and to the society on the whole get on with existing changes, accept them and find opportunities for self-development, thus facilitating also competitiveness. Knowledge is the value that turns into good investment into the development of society, a company and each specialist from the present and future perspective. Therefore, many IT companies become knowledge organizations and at the same time-the educational environment for the programmers working at such companies. Alongside with the information society, the context of knowledge society also becomes topical. On the basis of ecological approach and synergetic approach in the educational sciences, own experience, as well as the results of the research performed earlier the authors of the article have developed "The Environmental Model of Programmer's Professional Self-Development" that provides a wide range of perspectives for the interdisciplinary research. The aim of the article: to substantiate the contexts of the multilevel environment of a programmer's professional development. The developed model ensures the wholeness view regarding the programmer's professional self-development in his/her multilevel and multi-contextual environment, where there are both aspects important: 1) the environment of an IT company, which is not only the environment of a programmer's professional performance, but also the educational environment-a knowledge organization; 2) two important contexts of society as social environment: information society and knowledge society. A programmer's professional self-development through learning is at the centre of this model, because the programmer is an integral part of an IT company and also of all society on the whole.

Abstract. Graduation is the time when youth have to make important decisions and choose what they want to do after the school, which profession they want to acquire, in which professional field they want to work. This is the first stage of the professional self-determination as the professional self-determination and career selfmanagement is a life-long process. For the purpose of this research an empirical study was performed with an aim to explore the professional self-determination of 12th grade pupils in the establishments of general secondary education, especially focusing attention on engineering professions. For the theoretical and methodological basis of the research the results of theoretical studies in the following directions were used: 1) Self-Determination and Professional Self-Determination; 2) Career Management and Self-Management; 3) Professional Directionality of Personality; 4) Career Guidance, including Career Guidance System at School. Research methods: test for the determination of the professional directionality. Both results of the descriptive and the inferential statistics show that in both schools where the study was carried out there is a profound discrepancy between I want and I am able aspects in the self-assessment of pupils in relation to their future profession.
