Organizational Psychology

The wide representation of industries that use the fly-in-fly-out method of labor organization makes it necessary to adapt the existing technologies of medical and psychological support for personnel. It seems expedient to analyze the features of the activity and organization of labor of the entire variety of professions that are in demand when working on a fly-in-fly-out basis, and to develop a classification of professions for the further work of psychological support for each of the professional groups. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to create a psychological classification of professions in demand in the fly-in-fly-out work organization. Study design. The research materials were collected through five scientific expeditions to various industrial facilities using a fly-in-fly-out work organization: oil and gas production on land and at sea, a diamond mining enterprise and during the construction of a large industrial facility. In all studied industries, 133 different professions were analyzed. With the help of professiography using the “formula of professions” E. A. Klimov as modified by V. V. Pchelinova, all selected professions were differentiated according to ten generalized characteristics. Further, descriptive statistics, multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis by the “k-means method” and multidimensional discriminant (step-by-step method) analyzes were applied step by step. Findings. As a result, a psychological classification of professions in demand in the fly-in-fly-out work organization was developed, consisting of four key professional groups: work on optimization; performing labor(workers); administrative and managerial work and work on the maintenance of technical equipment and the management of universal equipment. Practice implementation. The development of programs for psychological support of personnel can be compiled for each generalized professional group, taking into account its specifics (adaptation, development, psycho-correction of unfavorable conditions, etc.).
