Khashchenko T.G. Economic Subjectness as the Personality Predictor of Entrepreneurial Career Activity of Agricultural University Graduates

Abstract: The object of the given research is the economic subjectness as a partial manifestation of the subjectness phenomenon within economic space of human life activity. The subject of the research is the connection between the level of college graduates' economic subjectness and their economic activity in the matter of vocational choice including their preferences for the entrepreneurial type of their professional career. The relevance of the given research is, on the one hand, determined by the fact that the economic space of human life activity (including the sphere of professional occupation) is unstable and more complicated nowadays, and, on the other hand, by the fact that the phenomenon of economic subjectness of the individual as a determinant of their vocational and economic self-determination hasn't yet been studied sufficiently. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is represented by the fundamental works on the problem of subjectness performed by Russian and foreign scientists, theoretical and empirical reseraches of the economic consciousness, phenomena of economic self-determination of an individual, their economic socialization, economic identity and subjective economic well-being, and theoretical and empirical data regarding the relation between economical self-determination and vocational (professional) self-determination of the individual. The research involved 402 agrarian college graduates (graduate students and graduates working in the agrarian sphere) who demonstrated a certain level of economic activity (entrepreneurs, hired workers of organizations and non-workers living in the country-side). For the analysis of the received results the nonparametric statistical techniques were used. The principal result of the reesarch lies within the theoretical and empirical justification of the connection between the level of economic subjectness of agrarian college graduates and their economic activity in the sphere of vocational choice including their preferences for the entrepreneurial career type in the agrarian sphere. The research is based on the author's interpretation of economic subjectness of an individual as a way of their performance in the economic space of human life activity and on the diagnostic tools validated by the author. The investigation is performed on the matter having a significant specificity but poorly represented in psychological research (agrarian sphere and agrarian education). Besides, theoretical conclusions and empirical data can be used in the educational practice of other branch-wise colleges and within the elaboration of psychotechnologies for supporting the formation of economical subjectness of the individual within the process of their professionalization, and also in scientific research devoted to economic behaviour of an individual and a group.
