The diagnosis was carried out using the methodology of V. E. Milman, it allows us to assess the structure of motivation, the ratio of motives for maintenance and development, as well as the types of emotional profile. The results of the study showed that the motives of professional activity are dominated by a creative approach to work and a desire for contact with people, at the same time, the desire to be useful to society is expressed moderately. Emotionally, emotional fatigue is most pronounced, but at the same time, novice employees react energetically to obstacles and try to overcome them. However, this indicates a high level of stress during professional adaptation. In general, regressive tendencies predominate in the motivational profile (87.50% of respondents) — that is, an orientation towards stability, compliance with norms in the absence of a desire for self-development, as well as a mixed sthenic emotional profile (56.25% of respondents), meaning the presence of internal tension. The typological analysis and comparison of the types of motivational and emotional profiles have shown that the most common is a combination of a regressive motivational profile with a mixed sthenic emotional profile, which can be considered as a potential risk factor for emotional maladaptation during primary professional adaptation in the absence of systemic support. The data obtained demonstrate the desirability of introducing mentoring programs for novice pharmaceutical workers, which, through support, reduce the emotional stress that occurs at the beginning of professional activity; the expediency of directing mentors efforts to develop the internal motivation of novice pharmaceutical personnel and their emotional stability for successful professional development and improving the quality of their professional results. Taken together, the results obtained emphasize the importance of taking into account the motivational and emotional characteristics of novice pharmaceutical personnel in the development and implementation of professional support and mentoring programs.motivationemotional profilenovice pharmaceutical personnelcompetencepharmacistsmentoringprofessional developmentмотивацияэмоциональный профильначинающие фармацевтические кадрыкомпетентностьфармацевтынаставничествопрофессиональное становление1.Shingaev S.
