摘要：AbstractPrior studies determined the importance of study of professional competencies under eight approaches: 1)workplace; 2)behavioral theory; 3)business strategy; 4)holistic approach; 5)engineering and technological context; 6)higher education; 7)organizational psychology; and 8)cognitive and motivational approach. The aim to delve deeper the cognitive-motivational aspect is to determine the relationship between these aspects. Thereupon we use techniques of scientific domain analysis as scientific analysis of the patterns of co-occurrence and co-citation in the research literature indexed in Scopus, bibliographic records are analyzed for relating the theories of the most representative authors and key terms found grouped in clusters research to prove that An individual's learning is proportional to the motivation provided to him or her, which means that it is necessary to know the personal aspects of each individual in the formation of professional competencies. Other factors affected by motivation are goals and achievements.
