Introduction

The activity of military personnel is associated with risk and tension which can affect both physical and mental health. Hardiness reflects certain characteristics of a person that can motivate them to take an active part in overcoming difficult circumstances. Thou we considering Hardiness is a resource for the reliability of professional activity. The study was supported by the RFBR #19-013-00799.

Objectives

Research of Hardiness as a military personnel professional reliability resource.

Methods

The research involved 315 participants, male. Average age 20.12 years (min – 18, max – 32). The participants completed 3 standardized questionnaires: The Occupational Stress Survey (Leonova, 2006), The 16 PF Questionnaire (rus. version, Kapustina (eds.), 2001), Hardiness Survey (rus. ver. by Leontiev, Rasskazova, 2006).

Results

In our study Hardiness value was above-average (M = 101.3; SD = 15.96). Correlation analysis revealed a direct relationship between Hardiness and “Reliability of professional activity” (M = 0; SD = 1) – Chronic stress, Emotional Stability, Motivational Distortion, Apprehensiveness (p = 0.0001; r = 0.678). It also appeared that Hardiness is a predisposition factor of professional reliability activity (adj. R2=0.539). Correlation analysis also revealed an inverse correlation between Hardiness and Chronic stress (p = 0.0001; r = -0.730).

Conclusions

Thus Hardiness is a resource for the reliability of professional activity. These results can be used in practice for performing trainings to support specialists and help them develop resources for reliability of professional activity.
