Abstract
The paper studies the socio-psychological factors of the efficiency of women employees’ professional activity. A stable trend of the increase in the number of women employees in law enforcement agencies and the priority of socio-psychological conditions of professional activity for women have determined the relevance of this issue. The authors
dened socio-psychological factors as interrelations, phenomena, and mechanisms of the inner socio-psychological sphere of law enforcement activity at a group level(collective), as well as at an individual level (socio-psychological characteristics of the person).
Theauthors studied socio-psychological climate in collectives, sociometric status, level of legal consciousness, and personal characteristics of women employees in law enforcement agencies in interrelation with the eectiveness of their professional activity.
The results of the study showed the correlation between the eciency of professional activity of women employees and the socio-psychological characteristics of collectives in law enforcement agencies, which were determined by a quantitative and gender structure. Besides, the eciency of professional activity of women employees had
acorrelation with sociometric characteristics with their business and emotional statuses, which were mediated by personal characteristics of women employees and characteristics ofthe very collective. Thus, the ndings suggest that the majority of women employees in law enforcement agencies are professionally competent, emotionally
attractive, communicable, and enjoy authority with their collectives. The level of legal consciousness correlated positively with the eciency of women employees’ professional activity in law enforcement agencies. A sthenic type of responding, predominance of irritable personality traits were most prominent features in women employees in law
enforcement agencies. Such personal characteristics as gentleness, sentimentality, femininity, sensitiveness, and desire to be protected reduced the eciency of women employees’ professional activity.
The obtained data allowed the authors to develop practical recommendations for social-psychological support of women’s professional activity in law enforcement agencies.
