| Summary: | Professional activity is an important component of personality development and
determines psychological state, physical health, well-being and life satisfaction. The process
of assimilation and implementation of professional activity is a holistic process of becoming
a specialist, including internal and external means. Internal means include knowledge, skills,
motivation, character, and other aspects, while external means include social regulators,
materials, and informational means.
Professional development leads to the achievement of professional maturity and level of
professionalism. The development of professional motivation in university education plays an
important role in the formation of future managers as professionals. In the article, the authors
provide a systematization of the components of the motivation system at various stages of
opting and professional training.
A detailed study of the motives of educational and professional activity indicates common
and different aspects for both stages. Learning motives include cognitive need, motivation
to achieve success, interest in the process and results of learning. Motives for professional
activity include prestige, material means, recognition, development, and self-realization.
In particular, the motivation to achieve success is defined as a key motive for the
professional development of future managers, organizing their behavior, influencing the goals
and the choice of ways of achievement, promoting satisfaction with the choice of profession
and self-realization. To determine the level of achievement motivation among students
majoring in «Management» at Alfred Nobel University, an experimental study was conducted
using the Mehrabian Achieving Tendency Scale (MATS). At the same time, it is evaluated
which of these two motives dominates. 71 applicants - future managers - participated in the
empirical study.
To determine the main professional motives, the test «Motives for choosing a profession»
was used. Based on the results of the analysis, the predominant motives for the applicants who
obtain professional training in the specialty «Management» were determined. According to the
respondents, the most important motivations for the profession were that the profession of a
manager allows you to realize your abilities for managerial work; makes it possible to develop
professional skills; makes it possible to benefit people; corresponds to the respondent’s abilities
and is highly paid.
As a result of the experiment, it was determined that applicants who choose to study in
the «Management» specialty and have a dominant desire for success make a more conscious
choice of a profession that matches their abilities.
The conclusions can be used, firstly, to improve educational programs for training future
managers in institutions of higher education in the context of filling them with educational components that will correspond to the motives for choosing a profession and develop the
motivation to achieve in the acquirers – future managers of leaders.
Secondly, the research findings will be useful in management and business, namely, in
the personnel management system of organizations. The use of achievement motivation tests
and «Profession Choice Motives» are proposed to evaluate candidates who have a diploma
in the specialty «Management» or are still taking senior courses, as a tool to focus on more
promising and motivated candidates. |
