SUBJECT-ACTIVITY APPROACH TO SUBSTANTIATING THE CONTENT OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE AND CULTURE OF SERGEANTS

Abstract

The subject-activity approach to substantiating the content of managerial competence and culture of sergeants has been identified as an urging need. This approach aims to methodologically justify the psychological content of the concepts “sergeant’s managerial culture” and “sergeant’s managerial competence” based on the leading ideas and principles of the subject-activity approach, determining their correlation with the concepts of “military-professional competence” and “military- professional culture”. The study has methodologically substantiated the key psychological concepts of “sergeant’s managerial culture” and “sergeant’ s managerial competence” based on the leading ideas and principles of the subject-activity approach, taking into account the fundamental requirements of the competency-based approach to their professional-pedagogical training as management subjects. The interrelation, interdependence, and interconditionality of these concepts have been clarified. It has been demonstrated that these concepts are directly dependent and logically sequenced, forming a meaningful and procedural order: “military-professional training of the sergeant”, “managerial training of the sergeant”, “managerial competence of the sergeant”, “managerial culture of the sergeant”, occurring within the framework of their military-professional training, militaryprofessional, and individual preparation. The integrated result of the military-professional training of sergeants is the formation of their managerial competence as sergeants and tactical management subjects, which manifests directly and contextually in their managerial culture. The managerial competence of sergeants is substantiated as a professionally significant mental formation, the content of which includes a set of value-motivational, cognitive, behavioral-activity, individual-psychological, and subjective components of managerial preparedness. The managerial culture of sergeants is justified as a systemic and at the same time contextual professionally significant mental formation or the integral result of their military-professional readiness as a military professional, reflecting their professional position, values, motivation, managerial competence, the formation of a professionally significant integrated quality – professional subjectivity as a subject of tactical management in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It has a specific psychological structure, including a set of value-oriented, individual-psychological, and professionally significant managerial attitudes, qualities, behavioral-managerial skills, abilities, and professionally significant managerial qualities as subjects of military management.
