Career orientations and perfectionism: the features of the interrelation
The article highlights the factors of relevance of considering professional career and career orientations in the context of perfectionism. The absence of Russian-language studies of the relationship between perfectionism and professional career is revealed. It is shown that foreign publications examine the influence of perfectionism on the career plans of young people, but do not touch upon the connection between perfectionism and the career preferences of working people. The results of an empirical study conducted on a sample of 93 respondents are presented. The relationships of career orientations with various types of perfectionism (directed at oneself and others, socially prescribed), as well as with the severity of aspects of perfectionistic self-presentation are discussed.
