Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of engagement and its relationship with the satisfaction of the key motives for the managers with different work experience in the company. The urgency of solving this problem is explained by the close relationship between the managers’ engagement and the company’s performance indicators, which, under the influence of structural transformation of socio-economic processes, stimulates the continuous search for optimal algorithms for managing it.

Purpose. The key objective of the work is to present the results of a correlation analysis of the motivation sign and engagement values for the managers of a large industrial enterprise during the entire period of work in a company.

Empirically, the research exploits the results of a survey among 629 employees of the “managers” category (59.7 % of the total number of employees in this category) from a large manufacturing enterprise.

Results. The paper justifies a close correlation between the satisfaction of the key motives at work and engagement of the managers from the analyzed enterprise. The authors show that there are significant differences in a number of key motives, their satisfaction, as well as in terms of indicators of involvement in the company’s activities, depending on the factor “service time at the enterprise”.
