As a result of the study, it was revealed that shame can really act as a motivator for career and professional growth. As long as this feeling is unconsciously, it controls the person, creating in his life cycles of repetition in which all the abilities and talents of the individual serve shame. Again and again, depriving a person of the opportunity to enjoy the results of his work. But if shame is understood, exposed, and attempts are made to get out of the cycle of repetition, then the person acquires the ability to further develop his "I" and the true appropriation of his own achievements. The practical significance of the research is that the connection between the experience of shame and its various intensities with the desire of a person to achieve development and influence in the professional environment is revealed. The scientific novelty of this research is that for the first time shame is considered as a motivator for career growth.
