Purpose. The article analyzes relationship between features of a university teacher’s self-attitude and professional identification. The main approaches to the study of the poles of teachers’ self-attitude, and features of interaction and mutual influence on professional self-awareness are revealed. Awareness of identity with the profession, a positive attitude of the teacher towards him/ herself as a professional increases the level of self-esteem, generally extending to a positive, accepting attitude towards him/ herself at the personality level. But alongside with a positive professional scenario, in the life of a teacher, we can observe manifestations of crisis aspects, the origins of which are contained in the negative pole of self-attitude –a low interest in one’s personality, disappointment in oneself, low level of self-esteem, self-criticism, unexpressed contact with understanding and awareness of one’s desires, needs, aspects of the emotional and sensual sphere.

Methodology of the research. In the process of research, a theoretical analysis of literary sources was carried out. An empirical study that reveals the relationship between the pole of self-attitude and professional identification was conducted on a sample of 130 Russian university teachers of both sexes with more than 18 years of experience using psychodiagnostic methods. Quantitative processing of the results was carried out on the basis of the statistical program STATISTICA 6.0.

Results. As a result of empirical research, we came to the conclusion that the teacher with a well-developed professional identification can rely on it as a factor contributing to self-acceptance, self-esteem and self-realization. Psychological work with a negative and positive pole of self-attitude can be a measure to prevent emotional burnout and to successfully overcome crisis states.

Scope of the results. The results of the research will help to deepen the understanding of the importance of psychological work with stressful situations, the development of a positive self-attitude, self-esteem, self-interest on the basis of strengthening the teachers’ professional self-awareness, as well as in the creation of psychological programs for the development of emotional competence and the prevention of professional burnout of university teachers.
