Metasystem organization of subject determinants of professional activity (article two)

Abstract

Theoretical-methodological and empirical-phenomenological materials are presented, revealing and explaining the specifics of the organization of the most important category of subjective determinants of labor activity - professional competencies. It is shown that its main principle is the principle of metasystem organization. From these positions, a new solution is given to the key problem of activity psychology - the problem of the correlation of two main classes of professional competencies, designated by the concepts of «hard» and «soft» skills (hard-skills and soft-skills). It is shown and explained how and on the basis of which specific operational means this principle is implemented in relation to the system of professional competencies. The main ones are the basic functions that implement soft-skills in relation to hard-skills, thereby regulating their determinative influence on activity.
