Abstract

The article presents a new approach to researching reliability in an extreme situation in mid-level managers (males and females). We assessed reliability of psychomotor activity in an extreme situation, psychoemotional stability, and stability of the functional asymmetry of brain hemispheres. It was shown that psychoemotional stability is the most important reliability parameter in managerial activity, while for practitioners (civilians and enforcers) stability of thinking is the most important. For executives, psychoemotional stability is important for decision making in extreme situations, while for practitioners most important is the ability to adequately and effectively perform actions. The proposed approach to studying executives via diagnosing psychophysiological parameters provides an informative material for its effective use in professional selection and recruiting to executive and practitioner positions. By the example of diagnostics of male and female executives, as well as practitioners (civilians and enforcers) one can see how the reliability structure changes in compliance with the activity specificity. The reliability diagnostics indicators can be effectively used to specify the patterns of individual reliability of an executive or an employee.
