Information Hygiene and Mental Hygiene of Intellectual Work as a Condition for the Teacher’s Professional Reliability in the context of education digitalization

Abstract

In the context of the digital transformation of the economy, the share of intellectual labour is significantly increasing, especially in science and education. In these conditions, it is important to take into account indicators of professional reliability, which are directly related to the employee’s performance quality. The essence of the concepts of “intellectual work” and “professional reliability” is revealed. The functional system of intellectual work is substantiated based on considering the professional reliability indicators. The specificity of the information impact as a production factor and stressor in professional activity is shown. Ideas about information load and information hygiene are given. The paper analyses and discusses the results of scientific research on identifying factors of intellectual work in the context of education digitalization, which negatively affect health and cause teachers’ professional diseases. Recommendations are theoretically substantiated and given for implementing areas of information hygiene and mental hygiene of intellectual work as a condition for the teacher’s professional reliability in the context of education digitalization.
