Purpose: The aim of the article is to present the relationship between the daily sleep index of managers and their behaviour in stressful situations. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents an overview of the determinants that influence how people in managerial positions choose to deal with stressful situations, a subject well described in psychological literature. This choice is determined by requirements and organizational context and is developed based on one’s personal experience. This personal propensity should also be considered in the context of sleep deficit, which is not uncommon in today’s organisational cultures as lack of sleep for the sake of increased managerial engagement and activity is not only quite commonplace, but is often glorified as a strategy. Findings: The considerations presented in the article indicate that sleep, as an individual resource of every manager, creates the space that is needed for the implementation of appropriate strategies for coping with stress in the workplace. Research limitations/implications: It is worth performing more research on larger sample groups, who would be differentiated according to organizational level and the decision-making independence of the managers being surveyed. Practical implications: As identified by the research presented here, understanding the relationship between sleep deficit and the behaviour of managers in situations of emotional stress could help to create future working conditions that are beneficial for people’s mental well-being and eliminating the consequences of sleep deficit, which can be dangerous for both individuals and their organisations. Social implications: If organisations factored sleep, understood as the ‘right to get enough sleep’, into the well-being criteria for the benefit of their workforce, including their managers, this could help them in their focus on health as a responsibility they are accountable for in business. Originality/value: The article determined the psycho-physical consequences of sleep deprivation as experienced by contemporary managers and the impact of sleep deficit on their behaviour in stressful circumstances. It has been shown that sleep, as a pivotal element contributing to ‘health and energy’, is a key competence resource of every manager.

Purpose: This article seeks to establish whether there is a relationship between the amount of sleep managers have per night and their behaviour when in stressful situations, with particular reference to their choice of coping strategy. Design/methodology/approach: In order to establish the relationship between managers’ sleep duration and their preferred styles of coping with stress, two specific research tools were employed: a Polish adaptation of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and the author’s own questionnaire assessing respondents’ daily hours of sleep. Findings: The research showed that as a variable, sleep deficit is not sufficient to explain the behaviour of managers in situations of emotional stress. However, when treated as an independent variable, sleep duration can be used to identify certain interesting behavioural aspects of managers in their professional environment. Research limitations/implications: It is advisable to extend the research to include a larger research group and to distinguish other variables specific to the functioning of people in managerial positions. Practical implications: The lack of any correlation between the extent of sleep deprivation and behaviours aimed at reducing stress may indicate that these behaviours stem more from specific individual factors (e.g. gender or age) and environmental conditions rather than sleep duration. Identifying these conditions and understanding how they can be modified may help to shape the well-being of managers and their employees. Social implications: If organisations factored sleep duration into their work/health equation, this would help direct their efforts towards ensuring the well-being of their managers, which would lead to increased efficiency and performance. Originality/value: Sleep duration does not appear to be a variable that sufficiently explains the coping strategies employed by managers, as these are more influenced by age and gender, for example. The research showed that the group of managers analysed here did not meet the recommended standards of eight hours sleep a day, with sleep duration being heavily dependent on the respondents’ age.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących lęku jako aktualnego stanu bądź jako cechy osobowości, poziomu odczuwanego stresu oraz sposobów radzenia sobie z nim przez policjantów Wydziału Kryminalnego oraz Prewencji i Ruchu Drogowego. Założenia dotyczące celu badania wskazywały na wyższy poziom lęku i stresu u policjantów Wydziału Kryminalnego. Hipotezy te związane były z charakterem pracy mundurowych danego oddziału. Na charakter owej specjalizacji służbowej wpływają warunki środowiskowe pracy, dynamiczność zmian, obecność czynników kryminogennych oraz waga zadań mających na celu zwalczanie przestępczości kryminalnej. Im więcej czynników zagrożenia, tym lepsze powinny być strategie zaradcze. Założenia te zostały potwierdzone. Policjanci Wydziału Kryminalnego wykazali się zadaniowym trybem rozwiązywania problemów i napięć, co zwiększa efektywność i skuteczność w wykonywanym zawodzie oraz zapobiega wypaleniu zawodowemu.

The purpose of this study was to investigate anxiety as a status quo, either as a personality trait, a level of stress, and how to deal with it in Criminal Police and Prevention and Traffic. Assumptions about the purpose of the study indicated a higher level of anxiety and stress in Criminal Police officers. These hypotheses were based on the character of uniform work of a given Branch. The nature of this specalization is influenced by the environmental conditions of work, the dynamics of change, the presence of criminogenic factors and the responsibility of the tasks aimed at combating crime. The greater the presence of risk factors, the better should be the countermeasures. These assumptions were confirmed because Criminal Police officers showed task-oriented problem-solving and tensions. This gives you the ability to be effective and effective in your occupation and prevent burnout.
