摘要：Background. Our empirical research and analysis revealed characteristics of the axiologicalorientation of students’ personalities.Objective.We identified the principal types of orientation, dominant values, and attitudesof the personality in the motivational-needs sphere through a variety of validatedand reliable techniques and methods.Design We understand the axiological orientation of the personality as a relativelystable set of values, motivations, needs, and moral structures produced through the lensof actions, in and through various spheres of social life, which describes complex systemof a person’s perception of him-/herself, his or her perceptions of others, and his or herattitude towards work and other activities.Results. The results of the empirical research demonstrate that a set of axiological,motivational, and need characteristics form pragmatic-professional, social-communicative,or individual-egoistic types of axiological orientation of the personality, which inturn describe the subject’s attitude to the surrounding external reality and to him/herself.The pragmatic-professional type of person is dominated by values such as work, results,money, and process. The least attractive value to this type appears to be power. Respondentswith a social-communicative type of axiological orientation have altruism, resultand money as their main personal values. Values such as egocentrism, power, money,and freedom are a distinguishing mark of those with the individual-egoistic axiologicalorientation.Conclusion. This study also addresses how and through what patterns and mechanismsthe axiological orientation of students’ personalities is expressed, which could enableprofessionals to develop educational programs aimed at harmonizing and aligningsocietal values and the individual’s attitudes.
