Keyword: «alienation of academic work»

The study of alienation of educational work and psychological well-being is especially relevant, since it helps to more deeply understand the dynamics of the educational process and its impact on the psychological condition of students. The purpose of the study is to find relation between these phenomena, as well as between their forms and components. There is a significant inverse correlation between the general level of alienation of educational work and the general level of psychological well-being. Indicators of the general level of psychological well-being are negatively affected by all forms of students’ academic work alienation (vegetativeness, impotence, nihilism and adventurism). Vegetativeness does not negatively affect only such components of psychological well-being as positive relationships and personal growth, and adventurism does not affect environmental management, goals in life and self-acceptance.

The relevance of this study stems from the insufficient understanding of the determinants of alienation from academic work among university students. Identifying the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon will help reduce the negative consequences of alienation from academic work among university students and improve the effectiveness of the educational process. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between personality accentuations and the level of subjective alienation from academic work among university students. Respondents were found to experience both relative and perceived alienation from academic work. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the excitable accentuation type and relative alienation from academic work.
