Research Methods

To determine the main factors of labor motivation, the Herzberg's motivational theory was used (Ilyin, 2006). The test can be used to determine which factors (hygienic or motivational) are relevant to influence the motivation.

To study the leading needs of the individual, a test whose methodological basis is D. McClelland's theory of motivation was used. The study of the motivational profile of the staff was carried out using the method of motivational profiles by S. Ritchie and P. Martin (as cited in Egorshin, 2010).
To diagnose the orientation of personality, B. Bass's orientation questionnaire was used.
In order to diagnose the motivation for affiliation, the A. Mehrabian’s questionnaire was used. The questionnaire evaluates two motivational tendencies that are functionally interconnected and correlated with the need for affiliation: desire for acceptance – “DA” and fear of rejection “FR”). Accordingly, subjects were given two different questionnaires (Enns & Shapovalova, 2015).
As a set of methods for processing the obtained results, qualitative (comparison, graphic and tabular presentation, meaningful interpretation) and quantitative (primary and secondary statistics) methods were used. Statistical methods were used to determine the share and average values of the empirical values. The secondary statistical data are nonparametric (χ2 criterion) and parametric (Student t-test, factor analysis) methods of mathematical-statistical analysis. In order to increase the reliability of processing experimental materials, we used Microsoft Excel 7.0 and STATISTICA 6.1.

6. Findings

Today, the motivation of young professionals is crucial for the personnel management system, since it causes the employee behavior. Summarizing the theoretical material accumulated in psychological science, we can distinguish the following blocks of professional activity: reflective, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, communicative, and value-semantic.

It seems relevant to develop a program to prevent deviations in the social and personal status and development, as well as occupational risks in various types of activities.
The purpose of the program is to create psychological conditions for the development of professional motivation. Development of motivation means the organization of an environment in which

professional motives can be developed. Strengthening motivation means creating such psychological conditions in which the energy of activated motives increases.

The objectives of the program:

• 
  to study the features of development of professional motivation;
  
• 
  to identify the features of development of professional motivation through testing the development of the main components of professional motivation.
  

This program is a final product of the project. It includes two components:

1. 
   The information component involves conducting theoretical classes, familiarizing the target audience with conditions for the development of professional motivation.
   
2. 
   The personality-developing component implies conducting training sessions with students based on the practical psychology technologies aimed at developing professional motivation.
   

The technologies used in the program are presented below (Table 01).

The information component involves psychological education and development of professional motivation.
The development of professional motivation was carried out as part of the course "Development of professional motivation in young professionals".
The total number of recommended academic hours was 32.
The personality-developing component included a set of classes aimed at mastering the methods of developing and boosting professional motivation.
Development of motivation means organization of an environment in which professional motives are activated. Strengthening motivation means creating such conditions in which the energy of activated motives increases. The duration of the training course is 5 lessons. Including introductory and final classes, the total duration of the training course is 11 lessons (17 hours).
