THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATIVE CREATIVITY IN THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONALLY SIGNIFICANT QUALITIES OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SPECIALISTS

Abstract

Introduction. The phenomenon of communicative creativity is becoming a subject of growing interest among psychologists. This is explained by the increasing complexity of social interaction, the growing demands for communication efficiency, and the increasing number of non-standard situations in the communicative process. The low level of development of communicative skills, difficulties in establishing constructive relationships and integration into society, as well as a tendency to conflicts lead to the emergence of personal psychological problems and insufficient development of communicative creativity. The Aim of the study is to study the features of communicative creativity as a professionally significant quality of socio-economic profile specialists, in particular psychologists and teachers. Scientific novelty. To achieve the goal of the study, the communicative creativity test-questionnaire developed by O. P. Sannikova and R. V. Belousov was used. The sample of the study subjects included 133 people: 51 psychologists and 82 primary school teachers representing a socio-economic profile. The study characterized the phenomenon of communicative creativity and revealed its features in representatives of two professions. It was determined that communicative creativity is an important professional quality of sociological specialists. Professional differences between psychologists and teachers were established: teachers were more prone to using manipulative strategies in communication, and also demonstrate higher expressiveness and expressiveness. Conclusions. Communicative creativity is one of the key professionally significant qualities of socio-economic specialists and is an integral part of their social abilities. The study showed the presence of differences in the development of this quality between psychologists and teachers, which indicates the need to take into account the specifics of professional activity during the development of communicative creativity.
