Personality orientation and motives of profession choice: points of intersection

The paper studies the problem of features of professional career planning by provincial youth. The authors have analyzed the main scientific and methodological approaches concerning a task of peaceful co-existence and mutual enrichment of various cultures as well as in aspect of career pursuing by youth. The Frederik Gertsberg’s theory of motivation is considered. F. Gertsberg has created two-factor model where the first group of factors (hygienic) holds the personality at work, the second group (motivators) – motivates to work. Using F. Gertsberg’s test it is possible to define the motivation structure and to allocate the prevailing factors of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with work. Experimental selection of respondents constituted from the rates of 4-year-full-time-students of Technology and Design Department of UlSPU. The respondents’ diagnosing was carried out according to the F. Gertsberg’s test for tracking the interrelation of the personality orientation and motives of profession choice. B. Bass’s orientation questionnaire was used for identification of personality orientation. This technique allows to reveal the degree of expressiveness of three main orientations of the personality: self orientation, partner interaction and task orientation. The results of the carried-out diagnostics prove that motives of profession choice and personality orientation have points of intersection. These materials can serve as a basis for further developments of theoretical and practical aspects of the problem of professional career planning by provincial youth.
