Summary/Abstract: The present paper is based on the theoretical assumption according to which motivation is the factor that triggers, energizes and directs any individual in his activity. The particular complexity of the concept results from the fact that man does not act under the influence of a single reason but under the influence of a motivational constellation where as a rule, hierarchies are settled and internal conflicts are overcame.Discerning between the learning motivation and the professional motivation we have considered that the motives develop and organize according to the information they have about the profession they prepare for.We elaborated a scale of dominants and categories of motivational factors based on a questionnaire which function differently, while offering information about the intensity and the value of professional options.
