The research on the social and psychological factors of workforce migration is of relevance due to the increase in labour migration in Russia. Another factor that makes the problem relevant is the necessity to understand how migration intentions and decision of a person to migrate are formed. The purpose of the research is to study the correlation between career orientations and migration intentions as well as to justify the fact that the level of one’s satisfaction with their social and fi nancial status has a moderating infl uence on this correlation.
