On the basis of analysis of different theoretical statements it is found out that involvement and loyalty provide positive results of professional activity and increase its efficiency. The essence characteristics of involvement, which is a stable attribute that implies long-lasting concentration of an employee on the tasks and contributes to increase the professional dedication of an employee, are discussed. The empirical research using comparative and longitudinal methods has revealed reliable changes of involvement and loyalty indices of cadets during the whole period of training in a higher educational institution. The most significant changes are noted in the adaptation period of training, which is manifested in low values of professional and organizational loyalty, affective and normative loyalty.
