"Personal Problem Solving Inventory" (P.P. Heppner, Ch.H. Petersen) designed to measure the appraisal of the competence in the conflict situations was adapted and modified on Russian sample. The adapted version of Personal Problem Solving Inventory contained two scales, assessing: Self- Assertiveness and Impulsivity. The links between the managers' scores on these scales and the peculiarities of the personal organization of the activity, social-psychological climate in managed groups were analyzed. Intemality-externality, orientation on the emotional experience, from the one side, and the dysfunction of the social contacts in group, from the other side, were especially marked in a number of these peculiarities. Among the unpredicted findings was low correlation between the real efficiency of managers' actions and the appraisal of the competence to settle the conflict.
