Sabirova R.Sh., Umurkulova M.M. PROFESSIONAL MOTIFICATION OF THE POLICEMAN AS A DETERMINANT OF COPYING BEHAVIORThe issue of coping behavior as behavior aimed at coping with stressors in professional activities is one of the least developed topics in legal psychology when studying the psychological characteristics of the activities of employees working in the human rights field. Interest in this problem is due, first of all, to the complexity and intensity of the professional service of employees of human rights bodies. Long-term functioning in difficult extreme conditions is often the cause of stress reactions that contribute to depletion of the person's adaptive capabilities. Intensive emotional tension, work in the conditions of time deficit, high social and personal responsibility for the decisions made, incidents arising in the performance of official tasks, give the work of police officers a stressful character. Therefore, issues related to functioning under stressful conditions and adaptation to them acquire special acuity in the field of legal psychology. When faced with emergencies, the policeman is forced to make extraordinary decisions to cope with the threat or challenge, loss or damage. If the requirements of the situation exceed the resources of the individual, it undertakes cognitive and behavioral efforts to overcome the problem that has arisen. At the same time, efforts can be successful, or they may not give the desired result. One of the factors that play a significant role in choosing a strategy of behavior in business situations is professional motivation. The content of the motives, their orientation and intensity, structure and specificity affect the success of mastering the profession, the effectiveness of performing activities, as well as the choice of a particular strategy of behavior in stressful situations. To identify the nature of the relationship between coping behavior and the professional motivation of the staff, 59 law enforcement officers of the city of Karaganda were subjected to the investigation. Methodological tools consisted of the questionnaire of N. Endler, D. Parker «Coping behavior in stressful situations» and the questionnaire «Professional motives», developed by SF Leah for law enforcement officers. The analysis and interpretation of the results of the research lead to the conclusion that the nature of the professional motivation and the level of its formation significantly influence the success of the employee's behavior under stress. The more professional and cognitive motives are formed, the more successful coping. The hypothesis that the predominance of positive labor motives in the motivational complex aimed at increasing the professional competence and personal development of the subject of labor determines the formation of effective strategies for coping behavior has been confirmed.Key words: stress, professional stress, coping behavior, coping strategies, professional motivation, adaptation.
