Chapter 24 Part 1

How to carry out professional roles, that they bring joy and satisfaction.

It is difficult to talk about professional roles, but did not specify the value of the concept. What do you mean by professional role? - To be a doctor, a writer, a cashier, a fireman? Maybe work on a specific company? Or in another way: to be someone's boss or someone subordinate? Maybe it means to be obligated to perform the action defined by the profession and their office to operate "ulcer, comb someone make an order ...)?

Which approach is closer to you? Or do you have your own?

Professional roles can be viewed from several perspectives. They can be understood:

1) as the expectations, standards, and human actions related to the implementation of certain activities in the office;

2) a relationship with management;

3) how the relationship with subordinates;

4) as the relationship with colleagues;

5) as the form of the realization of creative activity and demonstrate their own abilities;

6) as a way to generate revenue;

7) as a pastime;

8) as a way of gaining recognition, social status;

9) as a method of further development or preservation of dignity.

EXERCISE 12. What is for you to your professional activity?

I suggest you to start the game in the familiar metaphor. She is able to create a less rational, but more emotional background for the analysis. So, try to pick up some endings sentence: "My work is like a ..." (Cultivation of a garden, a transfusion of a sieve, the joy of the creator, the fight against windmills, performance show, Sisyphean labor.)

What do you associate your job? This is the second phase of the exercise. Give as much as possible in the form of verbal associations series (table, papers, computer, telephone, boss, secretary, red, jealousy ...).

Now give a reasonable estimate of your work: of what operations it is? How does it compare to other areas of your life? How are you satisfied with it?

At the end of an exercise, try to answer in one word the question: "How do you interpret your work? Punishment, reward, responsibility, routine, adventure, passion ..."

It is time to take stock. Have you learned something new about yourself? Anything surprise you? That of your previous views on the subject of work was a confirmation?

If you are not currently working, can analyze the work of the former or present future. Share your findings with fellow travelers.

We should not forget that our analysis should apply to the professional role, and not to any activities that we do with the performance of other social roles (parent, student, partner ...).

Problems that may arise during the implementation of the professional role, are varied:

- They may be related to a lack of motivation to perform this role (which is caused, most likely, a certain life scenario);

- They can relate to making the right decisions (regarding the type or place of work);

- Sometimes it is the inability to implement their own solutions;

- They can be associated with different treatments work: as a means or as an

purpose;

- They occur due to a mismatch of desires and opportunities in this field;

- They are connected with inadequate labor costs for the various

objectives and actions.;

- They are the result of fatigue, boredom, professional exhaustion due to prolonged or highly stressful job.

To start put forward thesis work - this is the value of the work - is the need for us.

Interestingly, you agree with this view or whether it is foreign to you? As it generally follows

to understand?

First, let's work in general categories. In classical psychology, there is a regulatory approach: "Labor is socially organized system of human activities in order to meet its needs. Different types of work are responsible to meet the diverse needs. Fundamental importance is the productive work that is required to meet every need in society at large ...

Work became the basis for the development of the human species evolved from the animal kingdom. Critical in this process was played by the collective nature of human work. The collective nature of the work lies in the fact that one task is running more than one-it man. This creates opportunities for assignments that exceed the strength of the individual. "

But more importantly, the collective nature of work became the basis for the development of organizational forms of human activity, with all the ensuing consequences. One of these effects is the division of labor, which led to a change in

pattern of activity. Ruptured a direct connection between the activity and needs. Beast, after the victims, operates in full compliance with their needs, because the only way he can satisfy his hunger. At the same time, the person engaged in the production of shoes, it not only satisfies the need to protect their feet from the cold and discomfort, but also the need

food, entertainment, knowledge ... Someone else meets the same and other needs, selling the shoes or promoting it.

This changes the nature of the motivation to work: the fact that the direct impact on human activity, are often not the needs and tasks. Needs are met in this case, more indirectly, than it was in the early stages of the development of our species.

The collective nature of human labor makes the development and optimization of the flow of communication processes. Execution of a job requires more than one person understanding. This was the basis for the development of speech, which, in turn, played a crucial role in accelerating the development of human intelligence, our individual and social consciousness. Engels said that "labor created man."

"This is a short keyword grows in importance to enormous size. This" Sesame Open "for all doors, the philosopher's stone that turns any metal into gold. Foolish he makes a reasonable, rational - skilled, skilled - solid. Gives hope to young and mature - confidence, the elderly - complacency. This can be ascribed to him all the advances in medicine in the last quarter century. It was not only the engine of progress, but also a measure of success in everyday life. This keyword is: labor. " Thus giving a tribute to human labor outstanding Canadian physician Charles Osler.

Impact on the individual labor

The adult labor is the main form of its activities with significant impact on the destiny of man. This activity is the most organized, and the organizing of our other activities. That work dictates how and when we will have a rest, it often depends on our place of residence, and even family relationships (eg, the decision to leave ...), or personal files (depending on the work we have a decision to start a family, get an education , ...).

Work is also a major factor in shaping our personality.

Exercise 2. As my work "created" me

Doing this exercise depends on your personal experience performance professional role.

One proposal is addressed to those who for a long time was (and is) a professional activity, while carrying out the requirements of the same role, the same profession (though it may be, in different positions, in different forms and in different social institutions, cultural, political and personal context.)

Try to answer the question: how much is that you today such as it is, has caused your "work. This question would be easy for merchants, teachers, farmers, lawyers, doctors, military, police, the actors, but of crucial importance here is not nature of the profession, and her dedication and identification with professional role.

What of your property, skills, behaviors, ways to communicate, perhaps even outside

features led to your profession? Make a detailed list and analyze it in a conversation with

Companion.

If you are not working or have never worked in the profession, you can use other

proposals. So, you can:

- Talk to people that meet the conditions above, and summarize the results;

- To analyze the specific "case" - the role of professional activity in the life of the chosen people, perhaps a member of your family;

- Write about their views on the professional role you would like to perform, and the consequences thereof;

- To carry out the same analysis as you consider outstanding. '

Professional role belongs to the group of roles, which cover almost all human behavior.

This role involves activities that are relevant to the profession. Some examples.

EXAMPLE

A For the role of the doctor - is to help the patient, for the teacher - training and education of students trusted his care, for the hairdresser - combing, cutting, dyeing hair clients. -

This is precisely what is absolutely clear. But these roles cover a range of other actions, even the way people dress. Let us illustrate this with examples.

EXAMPLE

About quite differently, according to their own labor to dress: a construction worker, a diplomat, a firefighter, an operating nurse.

This also applies to speech characteristics: its literacy, expression, use of technical terms.

EXAMPLE

Various professional and words slip into speech merchant banker, a lawyer, a computer programmer and an endocrinologist.

Professional relationships between people are also dependent on the professional role. However, it is worth considering, for example, over the behavior of the doctor in relation to his

patient - you can see the differences between the desired and the actual!
