Communicative peculiarities of innovative-focused and business-focused youth

There are a lot of interests in problems of modern youth in our society. Scientists are especially interested in the problems and peculiarities of innovative-focused and business-focused youth. There are a lot of governmental programs of organizational and financial support of their innovative projects. Nevertheless, these programs have no humanitarian approaches to the innovative sphere; there are no methods of revealing the innovative and personal potential of the person ready for scientific and technical activity. We tried to evaluate communicative abilities of the technically focused youth involved in innovative and enterprise activity. We also found it necessary to reveal interrelation of communicative abilities with some parameters of personal potential in this group. Personal potential is considered as an integrated system characteristic of the person. In our opinion, resoluteness, tolerance to uncertainty, ability to self-organizing activity, and degree of professional motivation are important parameters of personal potential. We researched 277 boys and girls (under 28 y.o.), who were involved in innovative and business activity. The average values of indicators of communicative peculiarities are standard. It is not possible to consider them as personal resources in innovative and business activity, whose success includes communicative abilities. The factorial analysis allowed to reveal three basic types of orientation to activity among the technically focused youth: competence and stability, management and business, autonomy and integration. From these types only orientation to management and business positively correlates with communicative abilities. We suppose that ensuring the efficiency of innovative activity of the technically focused youth is demanded in the development of their communicative competence. This communicative competence could be generated by psychological and educational support. We expect that providing some conditions for development of communicative competence will result in most successful formation of young businesspeople.
