Factors of professional growth of civil servants with different types of work motivation

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses work motivation of civil servants and opportunities for their professional growth, in particular, identifies those factors that help actualize the need for civil servants’ professional self-development depending on types of their professional motivation. Types of employees with similar motivational characteristics have been empirically identified and described; these types are “active professionals”, “led instrumentalists” and “indifferent operators”. In addition, the factors helping actualize motivation for professional growth are described. Civil servants identified as active professionals had high indicators of intrinsic motivation, namely the orientation component, value orientations; and existing conditions and opportunities to achieve social recognition and respect via professional activities motivated them also. As for “led instrumentalists”, professional growth of such civil servants was based mainly on external motivation, in particular, external negative motivation. As for “indifferent operators”, their involvement into emotional relationships in a team, the indicators of the communicative component were the main motivational factors.
