TRAINING EVENT MANAGEMENT AND TEAM BUILDING FOR FUTURE ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGISTS

Abstract

The article explores pedagogical approaches to preparing future organizational psychologists for implementing HR initiatives, teambuilding activities, and event management in the context of labor market transformations, digitalization, distance learning and martial law in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to analyze effective methods for developing professional competencies in psychology students, particularly in organizing team interaction and supporting corporate culture in modern organizational settings. The methodology is based on a theoretical analysis of academic sources in organizational psychology, pedagogy, and HR management, as well as generalization of educational practices, project-based learning, and professional situation modeling. The scientific novelty lies in identifying the specific pedagogical features of training organizational psychologists to work under crisis conditions and defining a set of teaching methods (including training formats, case studies, simulations, and online events) that promote the development of facilitation skills, leadership, teamwork, and emotional intelligence. The conclusions justify the inclusion of specialized modules in educational programs on event management and teambuilding, and suggest pedagogical conditions that contribute to training flexible and adaptive specialists capable of launching HR interventions in complex socio-cultural environments.
