Abstract: The article is devoted to the
study of the role of self-actualization and
profession motives in the profession
selection in adolescents. Research has
shown that increasing the level of self-
actualization in adolescents depends on a
number of factors, including the self-
esteem of adolescents, changing their
attitudes towards their potential and the
nature of the formative work carried out
with them. However, research has shown
that there is a correlative dependency,
and this dependence is positive, between
adolescents' profession selection and
self-assessment, self-actualization, and
training costs.
Keywords: adolescents, profession

The acceleration of
technological development in the
modern era, the emergence of new
professions, and the increased
integration into the world have made
comprehensive changes in profession
selection. The increased demand for
various occupations complicates the
process of choosing a profession in a
market economy and requires adaptation
of the human factor to these changes. In
this regard, issues such as the selection
process of any profession, as well as the
human factor in this choice, relevance of
the existing potential to the chosen
profession, and so forth, are at the
forefront. Given the fact that realistic
ideas about the profession are formed
during adolescence, it is undeniable that
it will benefit from the direction and
psychological mechanisms of this
process in adolescents for society.

Although a profession
selection in adolescents is in its infancy,
at this age, it has a leading motivation for
self-actualization (I.V.Dobrovina,
A.M.Prixojan, V.V.Zachepin, 2008).
From this point of view, Y.A.Klimov
emphasizes the importance of profession
selection orientation: “Any kind of
assistance should be given to the
teenager in getting a broad and necessary
direction in the professional world. He
must be the author of his own life path,
the project, and the creator of this path.”
(Klimov E.A., 1990). However, it is
necessary to guide this founder and
create a favourable educational
environment for him to unlock his
potential. When examining the factors
that influence the formation of a
profession selection in adolescents, they
have come to the conclusion that it is
important not only to identify areas of
specialization that can be chosen by an
individual but also to enhance learning
aspirations (Berkman L.,2005.;Dimsdale
J., 2008,V. Dzau, E.Antman, H.Black et
al, 2006,; Milani R., 2007,;M. Pagani,
D. Lucini, J. Physiol, 2008). However,
the study of the impact of self-
actualization on profession selection
orientation is not systematic. From this
point of view, the aim of this study was
to establish the level of self-actualization
of the profession and to identify its
psychological mechanisms.
Research methods
Several indications were
measured during the research, and
subsequent assessments were made
through the formative work to indicate
whether the indications were different
from the initial assessment. The scale is
on the other hand (A.Rean and
S.Kolominsky), self-actualization
inquiry of personality (S.Shostrom),
methods of “motives of profession
selection” were used. The research
involved adolescents studying at the
Heydar Aliyev Lyceum in Baku city. In
the experiment, 120 people in the control
group and 120 people in the
experimental group participated. The
total number of people involved in the
experiment was 240 people. The number
and gender composition of the study
participants are shown in Picture 1.
