The article deals with the motivational aspects of the professional development of a sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is determined that in the process of professionalization, the development and transformation of the motivational sphere of the sergeant as a subject of activity takes place. The development proceeds in two directions: in the course of the transformation of general personality motives into motives of professional activity and through the dynamic development of motives of professional activity, which is expressed in the emergence of new and involution of a number of old motives, changes in the absolute and relative importance of individual motives, as well as the structure of motives. It is stated that, depending on personal characteristics and existing social factors, a person in the process of achieving a goal expects the appropriate result of their actions and tries to predict it in their mind. The content of their professional expectations depends on such personal traits as belief in the effectiveness of their efforts, self-confidence, strength of motivation and desires, and emotional coloring of the expectation itself. Furthermore, their attitudes, value orientations, and role factors greatly influence an individual's professional development. The article states that the representation in the structure of professional motivation, on the one hand, of the specifics of a particular activity and, on the other hand, the subjective significance of its individual components, allows for predicting the level of mastery of the profession, the adequacy of the subject's orientation to the goals, objectives, and conditions of activity. The lack of conditions and opportunities for the creative realization of one's aspirations often leads to negative trends in the behavior and activities of a sergeant, which can even be destructive. It is substantiated that a sergeant expects the desired result only when he is confident in himself and believes in the effectiveness of his efforts. Therefore, knowledge about one's capabilities is formed on the basis of the experience gained, i.e., the experience gained in the past. In solving any professional issue, the sergeant consciously analyses and synthesizes the cause of any situation and expects the appropriate result, in his opinion.
