Features of the relationship between emotional burnout and socio-psychological attitudes of personality at various stages of subjectogenesis of young teachers

The increased interest in the problem of emotional burnout of teachers is associated with high staff turnover in educational institutions. Research shows that common reasons for leaving are emotional burnout and professional deformation. The purpose of the study is to study the peculiarities of the relationship between emotional burnout and socio–psychological attitudes of the individual at various stages of the subjectogenesis of young teachers. It was attended by 64 teachers of higher education from the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of the KSMU of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Southwestern State University aged 22 to 36 years, with professional experience from one year to 13 years. In accordance with the criterion of the duration of professional activity, three experimental groups were formed (young teachers with a length of service up to 5 years; young teachers with a length of service from 5 to 10 years; young teachers with a length of service over 10 years) from higher school teachers. Observation and conversation were used to collect data, as well as standardized methods for diagnosing sociopsychological attitudes of personality and emotional burnout. The results were processed using the computer program "Statistica 10.0". It has been empirically proven that all young teachers of higher education are susceptible to emotional burnout, but the greatest number of existing symptoms and the formed phase of "Resistance" are observed in young teachers with 5 to 10 years of experience. The features of the structure of socio-psychological attitudes of young teachers are revealed: process orientation and with an increase in work experience, altruistic orientation, decreased reflection, difficulties in controlling emotions are observed. main catalysts of emotional burnout with less than 5 years of work experience are immersion in work and focus on the process; from 5 to 10 years are caution in actions and selfishness; more than 10 years are entering into social contact.
