Conflictological
culture is an important component of professional training of future
specialists of enterprises of tourist industry.
First, the modern
socio-economic conditions increase the conflicts of modern society, conflicts
permeate all spheres of human life, so you need to be adequately prepared to
prevent and overcome them in everyday life.
Second, employees
of enterprises of the tourism industry in fulfilling their functional
responsibilities are in the process of continuous indirect or direct
interpersonal communication. While there
are often non-standard, sometimes conflict situations that require instant
decisions.
In addition, the
heads of enterprises in the tourism industry noted that not always the higher
school graduates find themselves in a real professional environment, ready to
implement constructive behavior in the conflict. The more that is typical, the
principles of market behavior are guided by norms of rationality and
expediency. But the real market behavior is strongly affected by restrictions
such as information asymmetry and economic selfishness that creates the
possibility of manipulation of the partner and normativization opportunistic
economic behavior [1].
The graduates
themselves also say that I feel a certain lack of conflictological knowledge,
and skills. Sometimes in conflict situations they feel lost and do not know how
to conduct myself in them. The lack of conflictological knowledge and skills of
the personnel of the enterprises of the tourist industry causes customer
dissatisfaction has a negative impact on the activities of the enterprise as a
whole [2].
Updated
the tourism industry brings modern, up-date, requirements to training of
specialists of higher qualification. High growth and development of the sector
indicate the need for rapid shifts in ways of working and the active
introduction and use of new technologies in this field and demand new
graduates, managers of tourism, determine the supply and demand, competition
and competitiveness [3].
All this leads to a
special importance of conflictological training of students of tourist
specialities.
Theoretical issues
conflictological competence and culture devoted a significant amount of modern
scientific research, but in the framework of training of specialists of
enterprises in the tourism industry, in our view, this problem is disregarded.
Exploring the works
of scientists dealing with the problem of training the individual to interact
in situations of conflict and environment, note the use of different
terminologies - "conflictological competence", "conflictological
competence", "conflictological competence",
"conflictological readiness", "conflictological culture of the
personality", "conflictological culture of specialist" and
others.
For example,
Shcherbakov A. distinguish between the concepts of "conflictological
culture of the personality" and "conflictological culture of specialist."
First it binds with the desire and ability of the individual prevent and manage
social conflicts, the second considered relative to the behavior of the person
in conflictogenes professional environment. In our view, this distinction is
particularly relevant for specialists in the sphere of production, sphere of
services, namely for the personnel in the tourism industry, these concepts are
virtually inseparable.
Other researchers,
considering the levels of conflictological training, is isolated as the base,
the lower the level of the last conflictological literacy, which is
characterized by knowledge and an intuitive, unconscious behavior, based on the
life experiences of the individual. Conflict literacy of the individual is
formed as a result of her upbringing in the family, the influence of the
environment in which it develops, the behaviour of the parents, etc [4].
Some scholars have
identified conflictological competence as the system of scientific knowledge
about conflicts and the skills to purposefully control them. Achieving a higher
level of conflictological training is possible only as a result of deliberate
formation.
The highest level
is the formation of conflictological culture of the personality. It is a
complex human quality provides a constructive solution of problems arising in
the process of interaction between individuals and consists of many components:
- culture
value-semantic sphere of the personality;
- culture of
thinking;
- culture of the
senses;
- communicative culture;
N. Samson in the
structure of conflictological culture separates:
- conflictological
competence as the basic knowledge about the conflict and its manifestations,
serves as an information base for decision-making on the choice of a particular
behavior in a particular conflict situation;
- conflictological
readiness specialist awareness of the importance of prevention and overcoming
of conflict, the ability to choose optimum strategy of behavior, ability to
manage your own emotional state, manifesting tolerance, emotional stability and
stress resistance;
- conflictological competence as a system of conflict
analytic skills in solving conflictological problems.
Among these
structural components of communicative culture are the most capacious should be
considered conflictological competence. In our opinion specific competence can
be formed only in the person with expertise on the relevant issue. Follow the
idea that competence is integrated as the components of which is a set of
specific knowledge, skills, and a number of personal qualities and
psychological characteristics of a specialist.
Considering
conflictological competence of a future specialist as a complex system, L.
Yaroslav separates five interrelated components:
- cognitive (a
system of scientific knowledge about the various aspects of the conflict);
- motivation
(orientation of an individual towards constructive conflict resolution);
-
emotional-volitional (determines a person's ability to conscious management of
our emotional state in conflict and pre-conflict situations);
- reflexive (the
ability of the individual to research their own psychological capacities and
opponent);
- behavioral (strategies of behavior in conflict and
their adequate use).
Conflictological
culture is the level of preparedness for behaviour in conflict situations,
environment. It includes a number of knowledge about conflict, strategies for
their prevention and overcoming, the ability to apply them in accordance with
conflict situations, assumes that individuals have formed personal qualities
(tolerance, emotional stability, stress tolerance, morality, etc.). In
addition, in contrast to the conflictological competence, conflictological
culture is still and involves the formation of a certain value-semantic sphere,
the domestic adoption of standards of behaviour in the conflict.
The specialists of
the enterprises in the tourism industry, which have high levels of
conflictological training, namely, have the appropriate culture to ensure the
highest quality of customer service, to prevent direct or indirect losses
experienced by the company in the event of conflict, etc.
Today the market,
in addition to high professionalism, require young professional still special
responsibility, psychological readiness for a variety of complex situations. A
significant role is played by the need to constantly improve themselves in
professional terms and in personal. It is
important not only to have knowledge but be able to control them to create the
information field [3].
In this regard, in
our opinion, one of the tasks of higher education institutions preparing
personnel for the enterprises of tourist industry, such organization of
educational process, during which formed the conflictological culture of the
students. This task should be carried out with motivational, informative and
personal components.
The key to
motivated and effective learning process is a valuable attitude to the chosen
profession, awareness of the importance of conflictological culture for future
professional activities.
A substantial component involves the formation of
conflictological knowledge, abilities and skills.
The formation of
conflictological culture is due to the use of adequate methods and training
technologies. The latter is a clear research design and playback guaranteeing
the success of the pedagogical action.
The most productive
in the formation of conflictological culture are active learning methods, which
allow the person to build their knowledge actively and creatively use them in
life as their heritage to identity formation.
The success of
conflictological training, on the one hand, ensures the appropriate knowledge,
skills and abilities, on the other - psychological characteristics of the
individual, which depend on internal and external conditions. Internal
conditions may include specific properties of the individual physical values,
worldview, mental development, moral and civic culture, attitude towards
society, work, other people, etc. External conditions include the macro
environment (the surrounding world, culture, etc.) and microenvironment, which
directly surrounds the student. To external conditions should include family,
group, formal and informal associations, teaching staff, etc.
Particularly
valuable in conflictological training of students of tourist specialities
gaining experience in the application of knowledge in practice. The more and
varied is the range of problems of communication, the students consciously will
face in the internship process, the more intensive is the interaction with
consumers of tourism products and specialists of enterprises of tourist
industry. Practical activity creates a rich experience of real professional
communication, helps students form more accurate ideas about yourself, your
level of conflictological culture and the realities of professional activity.
The heads of the
practice is important during the whole period of the consultation, which should
discuss both positive and negative situations of professional communication,
the challenges they had to face or witness.
Thus, formation of
conflictological culture is an important and complex part of professional
training of future staff of enterprises in the tourism industry.
