Self-regulation and self-management ability of law enforcement officers in relation to constitutional factors of personality

Introduction. Taking into account different approaches to the problem of arbitrary purposeful activity, as well as the existing lack of empirical data, the question of evaluating the relationship of self-regulation and self-management is an open and topical one. The leading role in the organization of activities can move from one process to another. The article analyzes the data obtained in the study of the assumption that at some level of the organization of activities, there are both elements of the process of self-management and the process of self-regulation; they are closely intertwined, interpenetrating depending on a particular stage. However, there are phenomena of personal formations that can affect self-regulatory mechanisms in self-management activities. These constitutional factors may be dominant or subordinate. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the ability to self-management and self-regulation in law enforcement officers with constitutional personality factors. Materials and Methods. To conduct the study in accordance with this goal, we used the following questionnaires: N. M. Peisakhov “Ability to self-management” (SSU test); V. I. Morosanova “Style of self-regulation of behavior with a scale of reliability” (SSPM-2011); method of multivariate research of R. Kettell’s personality. Results. In the course of the study, we identified conditions (the degree of expression of the factor “N”, etc.) in which the value of explicability of dependent variables is higher, which indicates a changeable (dynamic) the nature of the mutual influence of conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management and, in turn, is a certain feature of this professional activity. Discussion and Conclusion. In the course of the study, statistically significant relationships were obtained between General and particular indicators of the methods of V. I. Morosanova and N. M. Peisakhov. Along with this, we have identified reliable correlation indicators that characterize the relationship between R. Kettell’s constitutional factors with conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management. It is obvious that the results obtained at this stage of the study are clearly insufficient to make any decision on the issue of “breeding” self-regulation and self-management. The results of univariate and multiple regression analysis of the original sample (N = 446) in addition to the low level of mutual dependence common indicators “of the process itself” - 28,6 %, and the total indicators from individual scales methods SSPM - 2011 and test SSU 30,91 % and 39,77 %, respectively, to assess differences in perceived self-regulation and ability for self-government, depending on the impact of constitutional traits of law enforcement officers.
