Abstract
The paper is devoted to the problem of changing professional activities, which has become particularly relevant since the beginning of the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by the russian federation. Many people appeared in new difficult circumstances, lost their jobs, and needed to retrain or change the direction of their professional activities which requires awareness of their own needs and capabilities, understanding of their strengths and weaknesses for successful adaptation, effective work activity, and quality of life. There is a need to study the peculiarities of the motives that influence a person's decision to change their professional activity. The success of a person's professional activity is determined by his or her motivation for his or her personal professional development. Motivation, as a psychological factor, is a means of self-development, self-improvement and self-realization of the individual. The motivation of a person to change his or her professional activity performs motivational, organizational, regulatory, and corrective functions. Development in adulthood continues and changes in accordance with the way a person’s life and professional events are realized and comprehended, how the priorities change, and how a person feels about what he or she can be. Professional activity in the framework of this study is considered as a purposeful multi-stage activity of a person to create meaningful motives, and value orientations concerning the results of a professional product. In order to study the content of the motivational sphere of the subjects, the principal component analysis was applied. As a result, three factors have been identified: the first (main) factor is represented by the variables: task orientation, extrinsic negative motivation, self-orientation, and communication orientation. The second factor includes the variables: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic positive motivation, and self-orientation, which indicates a set of constructive motivational dispositions. The third factor includes motivation to achieve success and motivation to avoid failure. The content of this factor is quite explicit because the motivation to achieve success and to avoid failure are two opposite tendencies that can be combined in different configurations. The study concluded that the motive for changing activities is a factor that includes extrinsic negative motivation, as well as a number of factors that indicate that the change in activities is dictated not by constructive motives, but by possible psychological discomfort. This conclusion is confirmed by a minimal focus on self, communication, etc. The motivational sphere of adults who have changed their profession is defined in the confrontation between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and the association of activities with extrinsic (in particular, negative) motivation.
