Studying the characteristics of the emotional state of employees of construction sector enterprises working in the region bordering the military conflict zone

The article is devoted to the study of the emotional state of specialists working in the region bordering the Northern Military District zone. The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics of the emotional state, the degree of neuropsychic stress and mechanisms of coping behavior of employees of construction sector enterprises working in the region bordering the special military operation zone. The following methods were used: “Current state” (L. V. Kulikov), “Determination of neuropsychic stress” (T. Nemchin), “Methods of coping behavior” (R. Lazarus). The study involved 50 employees of the Regional state budgetary institution “Capital Construction Department of the Belgorod Region”, aged 22-45 years with work experience from 3 to 25 years, as well as 30 employees of a construction company from another region (Lipetsk Region). The work analyzes the connections and patterns of influence of coping behavior on the current emotional state and the degree of neuropsychic stress. It is concluded that construction sector specialists working in border areas are faced with factors that cause significant and moderate neuropsychic stress; the predominance of maladaptive strategies for coping with everyday stressful situations leads to an increase in the level of negative emotions. Since the current mental state, coping strategies and the level of neuropsychic stress are interconnected, forming adaptive coping strategies, it is possible to have a positive impact on the current mental state and the level of neuropsychic stress in specialists.
