Abstract
<jats:p>This article presents a systematic and empirical study of the multifactor personality structure, motivational strategies, and risk readiness of military personnel responsible for ensuring public security (n=441). The research employed R.B. Cattell’s 16PF Personality Questionnaire, T. Ehlers’ Achievement Motivation Scale, and Schubert’s Risk Readiness Test. Mathematical and statistical analysis (Z-criterion) revealed non-normal distributions across all scales (p<0.01) and a high degree of interpersonal variability. The findings indicate the predominance of regulatory traits such as “social maturity and conscientiousness” (M=6.44), “independence” (M=6.20), and “self-control” (M=6.16). In addition, a high level of achievement motivation (M=26.46) was identified among the respondents. According to Schubert’s test, the average level of risk readiness was moderate (M=9.78); however, the high standard deviation (σ=11.61) demonstrates significant differentiation in attitudes toward risk within the group. Based on the findings, practical recommendations for the digitalization of personnel selection and assessment processes in public security institutions are proposed.</jats:p>
