The study subject is self-actualization and subjectivity in men looking for work. The purpose of this research is to identify the features of their self-actualization and subjectivity. Such methods of psychodiagnostics as the “SAT” technique by E. Shostrom (adapted by Yu.E. Aleshina et al.); the “URSL” test by M.A. Shchukina were used. Taking into account the main results of the study, the author came to the conclusion that the sample as a whole revealed problematic self-actualization and a fairly high overall level of subjectivity. In 83% of respondents, self-actualization was revealed only by contact. The proportion of men who recognize the values of a self-actualizing personality was 34%. A direct close connection between self-actualization and subjectivity has been established. The field of application of the found results is the social psychology of personality (the data received are important for assessing the socio-psychological readiness of men to promptly solve the problem of employment using intrapersonal resources). Mentioning the prospects of the study, it should be advisable to perform a comparative analysis of data by gender. The results obtained are valuable for practical social psychologists in terms of helping young men who find it difficult to realize their intentions to find a new job due to problematic self-actualization and insufficient subjectivity.

The subject of the research is self–actualization and subjectiveness of men and women looking for a job, and the goal is to identify differences. The article uses the method of psychological testing, i.e. J.E. Aleshina’s adaptation of E.L. Shostrom’s SAT test and M.A. Shchukina’s LPSD test. As a result of the study, both groups have revealed developed subjectiveness and a minimum of signs of self-actualization. In the group of men the indicator of orientation in time corresponds to the level of personality disorders, in the women one it is normative, with more developed self-support. Signs of self-actualization in men are marked only by contact, in women – by contact, acceptance of aggression, and flexibility of behavior. The share of self-actualizing men is 13 %, of women is about 22 %. Men have a higher level of subjectiveness, in the structure of which creativity dominates, and women have integrity. The field of application of the results obtained is applied and practical social psychology, and psychology of employment services. Prospects of the study conclude development of self-actualization programs for young people in search for a new job. The article concludes young men and women with work experience looking for a new place of employment emphasize their subjectiveness and do not hurry to include self-actualization mechanisms to become more competitive.
