Motives of managers ... Thus, in order to have an idea about the capabilities of this or that employee, it is necessary to understand his motives. professional activity, first of all, is the leading motive that is best manifested:
· the subject and purpose of the activity he chooses or prefers;
· Activity results that satisfy him;
· Emotional experiences and reactions that accompany the process of achieving a set goal.
Motivations of activation... There are motives that are fully satisfied with the content and results of the work. They can be called adequate. However, there are motives that are not adequate to the content and results of professional activity; they are happy with some overlapping conditions.
According to this criterion, motives can be divided into three subgroups. The first includes motives that are fully consistent with the content and results of managerial activities... These are, for example, "achieving success", "material", "self-realization" (a person has a real ability for managerial activities cases), "social position, prestige" and "power" motives. The second subgroup includes, as a rule, motives that can be satisfied by the content of management activities, but they can be more easily and completely satisfied in many other types of activities. Such relatively adequate motives are "avoidance of failure", "personal development", "communication", as well as "professional", "social recognition" motives. The third subgroup includes motives that are not adequate to management activities and therefore are not satisfied with its main content and results. For managers, for example, such inadequate motives include "cognitive", "self-awareness" (if the realized abilities are far from management). The classification of motives for this criterion is presented in the table.
Table 1. Types of motifs
In the structure of motivation, the motives of the first subgroup dominate and one of them occupies the position of the leader. The least active are those whose motivational structure is dominated by the motives of the second and third subgroups, and the position of the leader is occupied by the motives of the third subgroup.
