Introduction. A contradiction which we are able to observe over a few recent decades between necessity to participate in innovative processes and their natural stressogenic character has underlined the importance of developing programs for proactive organizational socialization which will be capable of building up successful behavior competences in VUCA environment in Industry 4.0. When self-actualization in labor is being devalued, attitude to labor is now considered as a key competence. Purpose: to reveal features of attitude to labor as a basis of professional socialization of learners studying at industrial colleges in countries which are now entering the new technological reality with a different degree of success: Russia, China and Iran. Materials and Methods. The analysis draws on the data obtained with WorkBAT method developed by J. Spence and A. Robbins, and their correlation with the values of organizational cultures which are characteristic of industrial colleges. The data on organizational cultures were obtained with OCAI method developed by C. Cameron and R. Quinn. Results. Russian students do not feel the changed nature of labor, their attitude to it is substituted by a wish to strengthen clan-based and loosen hierarchical components of the organizational cultures. Iranian students have a negative attitude to labor in a real hierarchical environment and a positive attitude to it in an innovative market environment, which suggests that they would be engaged and emotionally satisfied. Chinese students, having experienced specific organizational cultures of innovative companies in real life, have a positive attitude to labor in a hierarchical environment of stability and certainty. Discussion and Conclusion. The findings contribute to the development of scientific understanding of the role of value-based work readiness in the turbulent environment of a modern enterprise and the psychological mechanisms of proactive organizational socialization, taking into account socio-cultural country specificity.

Original article

An employeeʼs attitude to labor is becoming one of the key competences in everchanging technological world. Companies increasingly need staff who are engaged to work, who are psychologically ready for both continuous and self-learning and who are capable of developing themselves together with the company [1; 2]. Graduates of industrial colleges, being at the forefront of industrialization, make no exception. High demand for these qualities is explained by ongoing organizational changes in companies which aim at improving competitiveness and vitality on the eve of upcoming Industry 4.0, causing variability of external and internal organizational environments of companies, which are becoming more and more unstable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous [3–5]. These characteristics of VUCA world are stressogenic by nature and, therefore, if improperly handled, they can disrupt activities with the level of

damage being proportionate to the complexity of these activities1. This explains why the list of personal qualities necessary for a modern young worker should include absence of fear to make mistakes [6]. Thus, we are observing a strong contradiction between the need to involve an employee into VUCA organizational environment and its stressogenicity that prevents such involvement. This contradiction becomes even more dramatic if we deal with green employees who lack practical experience and special socialization training from an educational institution. Such employees are graduates of industrial colleges. The actual task of modern education system at all levels is to develop methodological approaches and socialization technologies aimed at developing graduatesʼ competences for life and professional activities in VUCA world and VUCA organizational environment.
