THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS OF IT SPECIALISTS FOR PROFESSIONAL REALIZATION IN THE MILITARY SPHERE

Abstract

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of psychological readiness of IT specialists for professional implementation in the military sphere, and outlines possible ways of its formation. Improvements in technology have led to significant changes in the modern military sphere, in particular, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has expanded. It is noted that today our state has the latest developments thanks to mobilised IT specialists. However, on the one hand, IT specialists have the technical knowledge and skills required for military operations, and on the other hand, most of them are not ready to realise themselves in the military environment due to fear and inability to cope with a lot of stressful situations. IT staff working in the military are tasked with performing complex cognitive operations. However, under conditions of intense stress, their cognitive performance deteriorates, which can have serious consequences for the success of military operations and the well-being of military personnel. It is substantiated that an important condition for the formation of psychological readiness of IT specialists for professional implementation in the military sphere is cognitive resilience as the ability to maintain cognitive functions under the influence of stress.
