Abstract

This investigation aims to identify the personal features and psychological status of the unemployed person and the ways of work with people who are currently unemployed. This article is about unemployed person characteristics under self-concept. Also, this article includes scientific and theoretical representations about a “fully functioning” person by the emotional, cognitive and behavioural components of self-awareness. The results of unemployed person research are presented based on the result analysis and observation. For example, 3% of unemployed people consider that they have a deficient level of efficiency. Lower than average level of efficiency has 8,5% of the interview. Working qualities as very high considered 46% of men and 26% of women. Higher than average ability to work considered 76% of men and 68% of women. Also, 8% of men and 5% of women rate themselves as adventurous people. As people with low entrepreneurship, rate themselves about 55% of all unemployed. Also, 28% of people rated their mental state as satisfied, and only 6% - as confident and optimistic. Only one-third of the unemployed (34%) are in a subjectively favourable state of affairs, while the remaining 66% feel some negative experiences. It is important to mention that the construct of self-concept is appropriate to use in determining the goals of correction and development work. Corrective and development work involves a set of activities aimed at psychological support and elimination of negative aspects in the psychology of the unemployed person.
