[The effect of the non-financial stimulation system on psychological health of higher school workers].

The purpose of the study is to analyze effect of system of non-material incentives on psychological well-being of teachers in pandemic conditions. The research method of questionnaire survey of employees sampling (N = 193) was applied. The information obtained was completed by results of focus group study that made it possible to identify psychologically vulnerable groups of teachers. The results demonstrated that only every fifth teacher is completely satisfied with system of non-material incentives. The survey established that traditional forms of non-material incentives (birthday greetings, challenge prize for best structural unit) are losing their significance in pandemic conditions. The high workload, organizational changes in educational institutions reduce relevance of such measures of non-material incentives as inclusion in administrative personnel reserve for teachers. It is established that significant influence of shortcomings of motivational profile provoke occurrence of such violations as violation of team value unity; persistent prevalence of negative emotions; alienation, hiding lack of confidence in their abilities; deformation of systemic nature of mutual assistance; increase of anxiety and proneness to conflict in university teachers. For teachers, job stability turns out to be more important than career prospects. The top lines of rating in assessing system of non-material incentives are occupied by extension of term of employment contract, and participation in innovative projects. The recognition of colleagues and inclusion into creative teams is considered as one of the most effective measures to ensure psychological well-being of teacher.
