Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 5
Abstract
In modern competitive environment, manager’s ability to predict and avoid negative effects and achieve a goal of long-term programmes of the development of an establishment, an organisation or an educational institution is a signifi- cant component of his/her competence, which is considered in the world scientific literature as a term “risk- management”. The paper aims to present the results of the assessment of managers’ personal readiness for risk- management. Every kind of readiness, including readiness for risk-management in professional activities, is character- ised by the mobilisation of resources for a certain type of activity. Readiness for risk management is regarded as per- sonal characteristics determining the strategy of behaviour in terms of uncertainty, which is based on the analysis of the situation and one’s own abilities, and is manifested in behaviour, acts, and thoughts. The following indicators of man- agers’ personal readiness for risk-management have been distinguished: awareness of the necessity and significance of risk-management, motivation for risk-management, proneness to risks, positive attitude, tolerance to uncertainty, asser- tiveness, mind flexibility. These indicators have been assessed by means of the following techniques: test-questionnaire “Risk-Management at Educational Institutions as Imperatives”, “Motivation to Success” by T. Ehlers, PSK test by J. Schubert, “Personal Change Readiness Survey” by N. Bazhanova, G. Bardier, “Tolerance to Uncertainty” by G. Soldatova, “Assertiveness Test” by A. Karelin, “Cognitive Flexibility” by A. Lachince. The survey involved two groups of the respondents: EG (qualified managers) and CG (future managers/students). Research outcomes show that the greatest number of the respondents according to the indicator “assertiveness” have the sufficient level of its devel- opment, according to the indicator “proneness to risk” – satisfactory level, and according to the indicator “cognitive flexibility” – low level in both groups. The results determine the necessity of purposeful preparing both managers and students for risk-management in their professional activities, as well as the necessity of improving scientific and me- thodical, informational and material support of their training.
