COPING WITH DEMANDING SITUATIONS IN MANAGERIAL WORK IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PERSONALITY TRAITS OF MANAGERS

Effectively resolving demanding situations in managerial work and the residues of these processes can significantly impact the quality of a manager's life, both mentally and physically. The goal of research project is to focus attention on identifying and specifying selected personality traits of managers that are related to coping with demanding situations. The results confirmed the expected correlations between the ways of behaving in demanding managerial work situations and the features of interpersonal behavior of managers. The acquired knowledge also reveals risk factors that can significantly reduce the level of a manager's work and are thus an important aspect of decision-making not only in the process of selecting people for managerial positions, but also in the education and training of managers.
