Abstract

The specifics of motivation for volunteering in life-threatening conditions have been determined empirically. The motivational component is the leading one in the development of a person's life competence. In the context of the study, life competence is analyzed as a personality resource that allows for productive solving of life tasks in difficult and dangerous conditions. Carrying out volunteer activities in the conditions of war requires such life competence that ensures not only effective performance of tasks of voluntary assistance to others, but also guarantees personal productivity. It was found that the motives of volunteers working in dangerous conditions are somewhat different from those of volunteers working in safer conditions. Individuals who volunteer in hazardous environments have higher general activity, which reflects energy, the desire to express their energy and skills in various fields of activity; are characterized by significantly higher status-prestige motivation, the desire to receive attention and recognition from others, social status in society, etc.; and significantly higher social utility motivation as a focus on social activities. These motivational vectors contribute to a person's choice of volunteering in rather difficult conditions. On the other hand, it has been determined that a high level of these motives is inhibitory to the construction of personal plans, does not contribute to the movement towards the realization of one's own life tasks and psychologically exhausts the individual. Given the results of the study, it is possible to recommend psychological support for such volunteers with an emphasis on expanding the resource of future prospects in the field of personal self-design and self-realization.
