Abstract

The purpose of the study was to research the types of motivation for professional activity, motivational factors, values, and motivational types of manual laborers. The study was conducted using testing methods (“Motivation for professional activity” (K. Zamfir [modification of A. Rean]), “Motivational profile” (S. Ritchie and P. Martin), “Methods for diagnosing labor motives” (V. I. Gerchikov), “Value orientations” (M. Rokich)) and statistical data processing (Friedman, Wilcoxon, binomial distribution criteria). The results of the study showed that motivational characteristics of manual laborers manifested in their dominant motives, motivational factors of professional activity, and motivational types. Dominant values varied in relation to work experience. At the early stages of work-life, employees were characterized by internal personal motivation for work, at later stages – by external positive motivation. Individualistic orientation was typical of employees with little work experience and orientation to socially useful things – of those with longer work experience. The instrumental motivational type included employees with 4-5 years of experience, the lumpenized type –19-20 years, and the patriotic type – 30 years or more. The obtained results can be used in the work of personnel departments of industrial enterprises in the development of individual motivation of manual labor employees.
