description Introduction. One of the most important elements of an adult's life is his professional work, which changes its nature in prison isolation. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between achievement motivation and the tendency to react with anxiety and professional behaviors such as conscientiousness, flexibility and action orientation among people serving prison sentences.Materials and methods. The research sample consisted of 141 penitentiary recidivists incarcerated in a closed and semi-open remand centre in Kielce. The research used an original questionnaire collecting sociodemographic variables and psychological research tools: sheet X-2 of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Bochum Inventory of Personal Determinants of Work (BIP).Results and conclusions. The analysis of the research results showed that prisoners characterized by a lower level of anxiety, as well as a high level of conscientiousness, flexibility and openness to action, which constitute professional behaviour; were characterized by greater achievement motivation.Implications. The motivation for professional achievements depends on the personality's tendency to react with fear, conscientiousness and flexibility, which the resocialization process should take into account in order to, in the long run, strengthen the individual in activities aimed at seeking legal work after serving a prison sentence, and thus also prevent relapse. to come into conflict with the law. The research results are a good prognosis for the course of the social rehabilitation process and finding one's place in the work environment after serving a prison sentence among convicted persons.
