Abstract

The paper presents the results of a comprehensive clinical psychological study of coping behaviour in contemporary Russian organisational leaders. Specific social psychological and personality characteristics peculiar to this professional group were discovered that influence the choice of coping strategies. Two leader types were described, “adaptive” and “maladaptive”, with essentially different repertoires of coping strategies used under stressful circumstances.
