摘要：The article presents the results of the study of priorities in the field of labor motivation of young agricultural scientists. A review of publications on labor motivation shows that important areas of research are the definition of priorities among internal and external motives and their study in segmentation by age and spheres of activity. Therefore, the determination of the priorities of labor motivation of young agricultural scientists is of great scientific and practical interest. We studied the motives of effective research and teaching activities of young employees on the example of a sociological survey conducted on the basis of Stavropol State Agrarian University. Using SPSS Statistics (version 21) software package and a unique mathematical apparatus, the priorities of labor motivation of young agricultural scientists were established. From the point of view of theoretical significance, the presented materials make it possible to use the research algorithm in such situations. The practical significance of the research results lies in the formation of an information base for strategic management of personnel processes in organizations of agricultural education.
