The present study examines life values as a key socio-psychological determinant influencing the content and effectiveness of pedagogical activity among educators in higher medical education institutions. The research is grounded in the concept of life meaning as an integrative construct linking personal values and professional behavior. Using D.A. Leontiev’s Life Meaning Orientation (LMO) methodology, the study analyzes empirical data obtained from 691 pedagogues representing eight medical universities in Uzbekistan. Nonparametric statistical methods, including the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and Kruskal–Wallis H-test, were applied. The findings reveal statistically significant positive correlations between life-meaning orientations and academic status, professional experience, and internal locus of control. The results highlight life values as a fundamental socio-psychological resource shaping pedagogical effectiveness and professional self-realization in higher medical education.
