Algorithms of forming psychological maladjustment among employees of EMERCOM of Russia depending on occupying position and differentiated approaches to their correction

The scope of the functional responsibilities of the Russian Emergencies Ministry is actively expanding the past few years due to the participation in the elimination of natural and man-made disasters, ensuring the safety of international cultural, and sports events. New responsibilities involve active interaction with the civilian population, including ethnic and cross-cultural communication. Successful implementation of new responsibilities requires a sufficient level of social intelligence and the development of social perception. Psychological maladjustment, especially emotional burnout, limited social skills of employees of EMERCOM of Russia. Insufficient levels of social intelligence can be an obstacle for the safety of the FIFA World Cup in 2018, a number of matches scheduled to be held in Yekaterinburg in the Urals. These facts have led to the study of patterns of social perception and communication at the Department of Life Safety of the Ural Institute of State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia. The results of psychological tests 320 employees of EMERCOM from the Ural and Volga federal districts were systematized. On the basis of his position, respondents were divided into five groups: firefighters, drivers, dispatchers, squad leaders, commanders of the guard. The mean age was 32,6 ± 8,4 years; average seniority in the profession of 9,5 ± 4,7 years. The database includes five methods that have been grouped into two blocks of tests. The first unit accounted for two methods of assessment of burnout: standard Maslach and Jackson; and adapted to the peculiarities of the activities of law enforcement agencies. In the second block includes three methods: Beck depression; Schubert's risk assessment; stress Holmes and Rage. The first block is specific and reflects the response to particular professional activity. The second block detects nonspecific reactions to stress. The strength and character of the relations between the indices of the first and second blocks are systematized. It was found that the number of credible links between the two blocks of data increases in the series: firefighters, commanders of the guard, dispatchers, drivers, squad leaders. The risk of gambling addiction is described for dispatchers. The risk of schizoid personality transformation is indicated for the commanders of the guard. Recommendations for the differential correction algorithms of the psychological maladjustment in the employees of EMERCOM of Russia were developed. It is necessary to advice for firefighters and commander of the guard: to have a timely recreation, for drivers and dispatchers: to monitor a hidden depression and learning skills of positive intelligence, for squad leaders: to pursue re-training courses to develop the skills of social intelligence and to create a flexible system of social perception and communication.
