Currently, increased attention is drawn to well-being and job satisfaction of professionals in relation to the necessity of work efficiency improving. The research of qualitative differences in professional motivation characteristics of workers with different level of career success is considered as important. Career success is interpreted as a set of positive results of human professional development accordingly to objective and subjective career evaluation criteria. It is necessary to remark that subjective assessment of career success is key for worker. The actual study was aimed to reveal the correlation between career success and professional motivation characteristics of medical practitioners with different specializations. The research was conducted in 50 medical practitioners with different specializations. The hypothesis is that career success of medical practitioners is related to their professional motivation characteristics. The assessment methods included the checklist designed to get data about professional activity and self-assessment of career success, job satisfaction survey, career anchors questionnaire (Schein) and career motivation questionnaire (Noe, Noe and Bachhuber). The results revealed that the medical practitioners with a high level of career success self-assessment are more oriented to entrepreneurship as a career anchor (r=0,282, p=0,048) and try to find opportunities for professional and career development (r=0,292, p=0,041). They are more satisfied with the work and less prone to evaluate job stress factors which interfere professional success with high rate (r=0,311, p=0,028). The medical practitioners with less level of career success self-assessment are oriented on the place of work stability (r=-0,296, p=0,037). The data confirm: medical practitioners with different level of career success self-assessment have significantly different professional motivation characteristics. These results allow to elaborate motivation programs for medical practitioners.
