Not enough information. Does professional = getting paid and non-professional = no pay? If that's what you mean, then obviously the motivations are different. A non-professional would have to be offered some other kind of reward, like praise, status, feeling good about helping, generally recognition of some sort.
If, however you mean a distiction based on skill/training/ability, then the non-professional might be primarily seeking experience.
And then again- some people use the word "professional" to specify a person from a certain set of professions: a doctor, lawyer, business person, engineer or a few others with advanced post-graduate degrees. In that case, no, it would be about the money either way.

Not to be contrary, but studies show that money is not a very high motivating factor for most people. The area of psychology known as Occupational and Industrial Psychology is almost exclusively concerned with what motivates workers.
Contrary to popular belief studies show over and over that money is not a very good motivator. Giving someone a raise does not motivate them to work harder. However, giving people benefits (i.e., child care, work out facilities, etc.) and treating them like they are important to the company (allowing them to be more involved with decision-making reward programs) does. This is so even if the cost of these programs is much lower than giving the employees raises. Most people just want to feel respected, needed, and in control of their lives whether they are professional or non-professional.

Your Q can be argued both the ways. But my answer is YES.
MONEY is the biggest motivating factor for all whether professional or not. Besides money, STATUS, RECOGNITION in Society are the other common driving factor for both.
There are always going to be some contrast factors but the above mentioned ones are the biggest motivating factors and which are shared by both class of people.

I think the factors are the same...It's just how we handle these factors and make our decisions from them, that gets us to where we as individuals are. This goes for all aspects in life!
