Psychology of management

Psychological criteria 
- satisfaction of collective members with various aspects of membership (relations with 
colleagues and managers, work conditions, salary, etc.); 
- motivation of collective members (the issue is of their desire to work and maintain 
membership in this collective); 
- executive’s authority in the collective (formal, i.e. stipulated by the set of power 
privileges given to the executive by his/her post; moral, i.e. based on personality’s world-
viewing and moral qualities; functional, i.e. based on professional competence, various business 
qualities of the executive); 
- collective’s self-evaluation (concerns a number of its important characteristics and 
being some kind of generalized sum total of their functioning successfulness). 
Non-psychological criteria (collective’s effectiveness) 
- profitability (totality of measures characterizing the connection between financial 
resources and the character of their usage); 
- productivity; 
- production or service quality; 
- innovations (creative process of adjustment of product, process, structure, etc. to outer 
and inner demands, changes). 
Thus, an executive is considered effective if the collective headed by him/her has high 
performance rate on the corresponding psychological and non-psychological criteria of group 
efficiency.
