Abstract
Labour motivation of young people in their first job.This work is part of a wider project of investigation that tries to analyse the main aspects that motivate people who get their first job. We are specially interested in those young people who, for several reasons and in one moment of their lives, had to leave the regulated Educational System and get into Professional Occupational Training in order to enter labour society. On the basis of the supposition that there are factors inherent in the own job (intrinsic) and factors foreign to the labour context but where the consequences of the job become very important (extrinsic), it was made a study with pupils of the province of Cádiz. To get our aim, it was applied a test about psychosocial motivations and the results were contrasted with the answers given to an item that shows the personal degree of satisfaction, drawing the conclusion that the extrinsic aspects of job are the ones that most motivate people who get their first job through the employment and training programs.
