The goal of the paper is to present the findings of empirical issues concerning personality determinants of engagement. Engagement may be treated as a measure of employee's attitude towards the company. It constitutes an expression of individual's identification with the workplace and a measure of employee's loyalty, it determines satisfaction level and the level of 'emotional attachment' to a company. It also reflects the degree of 'organizational participation' of an employee, being reflected in positive evaluation and undertaking of activities aimed at business goals of a company. From the point of view of business activities it seems particularly significant to be able to identify those aspects which are related to building employee's engagement.

The essential characteristics of rational, dialectical and critical thinking are defined in relation to wisdom. Thinking influences wisdom through the quality of decision-making in the choice of strategies suitable for solving rather complex and badly defined problems. Rational thinking is closely related to a search for optimum alternatives and should be unbiased and objective. Dialectical thinking refers to knowledge of processes comparing or synthesizing facts, standpoints and opposite viewpoints. Critical thinking activates abilities and strategies that enhance the probability of desirable outputs, where definition of the desirable depends on an individual's varying goals and values. Acceptance of the principles of critical thinking considerably contributes to the regulatory role of wisdom. Critical thinking, together with wisdom, endeavors to bring men to acquire and use information more efficiently not solely in favor of selected groups, but also humanity as a whole.

Awareness of emotions, extensive emotional knowledge, and effective emotional management are characteristics of emotionally intelligent individuals. These competencies are expected to enable individuals using more adaptive decision-making styles (DMSs). Specifically, we predicted that trait emotional intelligence (EI) should be a positive predictor of intuitive and rational DMSs and a negative predictor of dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous DMSs, even after controlling for personality. Participants (N = 454) completed Slovene version of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire, the Decision-Making Styles Questionnaire, and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire. Results supported the importance of trait EI on predicting DMSs: after controlling for personality, the trait EI accounted for 1 to 13% of the variance of the DMSs. Higher trait EI was associated with a more frequent use of intuitive, rational, and a less frequent use of dependent and avoidant DMSs. Results are in accordance with the assertion about the positive function of EI.

The poet Rilke and the philosopher Nietzsche have a great deal in common. They have no family, no employment, and no home and for both life and work form a whole. They are nearly exclusively preoccupied with the question of human existence. The similarities or affinities which connect the existential poet and the existential philosopher have been widely discussed. What has been neglected up to now is the fact that only Nietzsche but also Rilke attaches a lot of importance to the role and significance of the mask. That is why this essay focuses on: Rilke and Nietzsche agree on the fact that the mask is an essential and indispensable constituent of a creative personality. The poet and the philosopher create truth whatever mask they wear.

A study showed the occurrence and characteristics of counterfactual thinking (CT) in relation to sense of coherence (SOC), that expresses coping effectiveness, and in relation to anxiety and self-esteem. A configurable frequency analysis was used to determine types. The combination of high coping effectiveness (SOC) with CT (rarer, helpful in solving future problems, not saddening, not inhibiting future problem solving) was confirmed - as type 1, in which cognitive aspects of CT prevail. Type 2 represents lower SOC in combination with CT (frequent, saddening, not helpful, rather inhibiting the solving of future problems) - emotional aspects of CT prevail in this type. The combination of CT characteristics with anxiety introduced a single type: high anxiety, frequent CT, saddening CT and CT does not help future solutions, CT inhibits future solutions. Any distinct type regarding the relation between CT characteristics and self-esteem was observed. CT characteristics are also discussed in relation to Big Five factors describing personality.

The goal of this study was to investigate the structure of musical preferences in a sample set of participants from the Czech Republic (n = 521), differences in the structure of musical preferences among various age groups (16–50 years), and associations between these preferences and certain personality traits. Exploratory factor analysis revealed five dimensions of musical preference in all age groups. Further analysis addressed the question of how the dimensions of musical preference relate to personality traits, tracing the relation between musical preference and various dimensions in the ‘Big-Five’ personality model. The findings confirmed those of previous research conducted in the United States (by Rentfrow and Gosling in 2003), but revealed certain dissimilarities as well, resulting from specific features of culture in the Czech Republic. Also analyzed in the study are similarities and differences among various age groups.

Work and education plays an important role in shaping the life of very person. Thanks to it a man perfects himself, gains the means to life, and learns how to sacrifice for others. Work makes people realize their value. It unfolds in all dimensions of human life: somatic, emotional, mental, spiritual and moral. For this reason, it is impossible to separate from it the operation and process of education. Education is an essential aid in the discovery of man's possibilities. Responsibility and work for functioning education is always carried out in a social context, and produces some specific environments of formation in the community. Natural educational environment is that of family, school, workplace and other institutions. The impact of the participation, interactions and role models is characteristic for all these groups. The human existence and society depends on the proper work in the field of education.

Thirty nine WWCPS rats were tested in the exploration box throughout fifteen sessions. Factor analysis was run to extract the main dimensions describing rat behavior. Two factors were extracted, confirming the validity of the concept of two dimensional structure of individual differences in rats. Hierarchical cluster analysis run on factor scores showed that only three out of a possible four types of factor combinations are actually present within observed group of animals. In terms of individual differences structure, the study provide support for the view that laboratory rats are still rats.

Personality is a term which for years was associated only with humans. This paper presents a review of studies and reports showing that the construct of personality can also be successfully applied to animals. The specific role of dogs in our society and the diversity observed in the exterior and interior of this species, makes it, in our opinion, a very interesting model for the study of personality. Scientists investigating personality of dogs are pursued by both theoretical and practical goals which we try to present here. We persuade that the development and dissemination of techniques for selection of animals for specific tasks and the knowledge of personality of assistance dogs seem to be very useful.

The main thesis of this article is the claim that the demise of the 'man of leisure' is taking place before our very eyes - at least in so far as they were defined by Florian Znaniecki and George Herbert Mead, Roger Caillois, Boguslaw Sulkowski and other researchers who emphasised the socialising function of fun and its social character. Because of numerous processes - mainly the dominance of entertainment and the search for pleasure at any cost - fun is undergoing a process of atrophy or at least far reaching change and primarily desocialisation. Increasingly we find ourselves alone with music (because of its reproduction by walkmen and discmen), when dancing, in sport and alone in front of the television or the computer monitor. It would appear that this kind of escape from others, avoiding them and at the same time certain difficulties with complete relationships with other people. The concern arises that it will then never be possible to reach those 'others'. One of the causes of this effect could be the reduction (or change) in the role of games as a form of socialisation and interaction.

The study aims to determine if mindfulness and the Fifth Factor of personality traits significantly predict humour styles. The participants of the study were a total of 502 undergraduate students, 300 (59.8%) female and 202 (40.2%) male. Humour Styles Questionnaire (HSQ), Adjective Based Personality Test (ABPT) and The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used in order to collect the data of the study. Pearson’s Product Moments correlation technique and multiple regression analysis were employed for the statistical analysis. The findings of the study show that mindfulness and the Fifth Factor of personality traits significantly predict the sub-dimensions of humour styles.

Cesare Lombroso created a basis of the consideration about genius as phenomenon. The similar subject analysed Ernst Kretschmer. The both authors underlined duality of genius nature distinctly. On the one hand genius is an emanation of unusual talent, on the other hand genius is connected with element of psychopatology and social rejection. Finding a new way of thinking will be possible, if a talented person’s mental structure is loosen. It means: previous solution must be rejection, researcher revolts against the authorities and he can come into conflict with a professional environment. From this point of view life of genius is full of dramatic evidences, the same like life of a polish researcher Julian Ochorowicz. In Ochorowicz case the most controversial were his studies over hypnotism and mediumism. These researches were a from of analyzing of human cognitional skills, special in the case of hysterics.

This is a synthesis of research data on three essential sources of a person's perception of creative climate, viz., original thinking, personality traits and social skills. Our sample comprised 227 adolescents in whom all the three components were compared in extreme groups of high (n = 32) and low originality (n = 37). The methods employed included: The Torrance Figural Test of Creative Thinking - TTCT, Riggio's Social Skills Inventory - SSI, Cattell's 16PF - Fifth Edition, The Creative Climate Questionnaire - CCQ (Isaksen, Kaufmann). Our findings permit a deeper insight into the interaction personality-environment as follows: 1) original thinking is an effective mediator for perceiving the characteristics of creative climate. 2) A key role is here played by its bonds with prosocial traits that are the components of extroversion, independence and receptivity. The most conspicuous source of social skills in relation to creative climate is empathy. A mutual interplay between high originality, prosocial traits and empathy permits not only to positively reflect, but also to generate a climate that stimulates creativity and promotes it - where precisely subjects with these particular traits can draw most profit from it. On the other hand, climate dimensions need not suit introverts and those with lower social skills and originality, with whom they are not compatible. For persons with lower originality (in its relations with anxiety and excessive self-control), creative climate may spell uncertainty and subjective threat which becomes reflected in a higher rating of the dimensions representing emotional safety.

Attention is devoted to the prudence as a 'team of virtues'. The stress is laid on eight forms of prudence as long-term memory, ability to the adequately understand existing relationships, openness to advice of the others, brightness, reasonableness, foresight, circumspection, cautiousness. The prudence is oriented to a practical achievement of the personal goals, plans and designs. However, we assume an ability to choose appropriate means to attain the goals. The prudence represents one of the preconditions of a mature and cultivated personality, permitting one to master a suitable concept of life style and primarily to identify means leading to this goal. The prudence asserts itself by refusing the self-regulatory failings and the unjustified temptations. These reflections also imply that the concept prudence bridges over the historically preserved though methodologically unjustified division between a subject's behavior and his personality.

Complexity of development of relations which originate on the European continent makes the need for a comprehensive approach to the organization and administration of the territory. The existing preference of loyal managers with their economic and operational focus to assessing reality comes into conflict with the need to analyse the complementary relations conditioning the potential of the area. The need for highly knowledgeable personalities with moral credit is particularly evident in the creation of fractal relationships between functionally and semantically established local, regional and global structures.

The following article presents the theoretical basis and practical reasons related to the concept of personality and stress coping styles. Sport dance is not yet popular in the field of Psychology of Sports. Dancing is often referred to in the literature as a form of art. The aim of the study was to present a psychological profile of the dancer as an athlete. Dominant personality traits and styles of coping with stress among the dancers are indicated in this paper. Also differences between men and women who are committed to continually work together as a dance couple are shown. 94 dancers were studied (W-46, M-48), aged 15-24 years (mean age 17 years, standard deviation 2.25). Subjects presented different levels of advancein sports, meaning they have different dance class which definesa skill of a dancer. They had also diversified dance training time, calculated as the number of trained years. Subjects came from nine Polish dance clubs. In the study were used: NEO-FFI Personality Inventory of Costa &McCrae and Coping Inventory of Stressful Situations of Endler& Parker. In order to obtain additional data and personal information related to the training process of dancers a surveyconstructed by the author was used. The results show the differences between women and men in terms of personality traits and stress coping styles. Women show a style focused on avoiding the stressful situation and seek social contact more than men. Women are agreeable and conscientious. Studies also show a correlation between age and type of coping style in a difficult situation. Older dancers are more focused on the task, while the younger focus on experienced emotions, avoiding the task or problem, engage in alternative activities. In addition, studies have found an importanceof advancement of sport styles in somestress coping styles and in selected personality traits. The dancers with a higher dancing class, that are more advanced present style of coping with stress concentrated on the task, less advanced dancers are more emotional and neurotic.

The authors report the study on what strategies the young people use in construing own future and to what extent the strategy preference in related to personality dimensions such as achievement motivation, optimism, locus of control, values and Big Five. Six strategies were identified: authority, realistic, wishful, carpe diem, pressure and awaiting. The group of 239 high school and university students filled the Questionnaire on Strategies of Construing own Future and standard personality methods. The more often are used authority, realistic and wishful while less frequently the carpe diem, pressure and awaiting strategy. Some Students tend to apply one strategy (monostrategic) others more than one (polistrategic). The statistical analyses based on the extreme group comparison as well as correlational/regression analyses revealed that the less preferred strategies are more linked to personality- the links being moderately strong. The reverse is for more preferred strategies, which may suggest that construing one's own future is relatively independent or separate personality characteristics (a possible Big Sixs). The strength and relationship value varies (positive or negative) depending on the strategy nature. The research outcomes are discussed within the frame of future time perspective.

The study focuses on the analysis of relations between personality dimensions of adolescents and the preference for reactive and proactive coping strategies, and indicates the differences between these two types of strategies. Personality dimensions were studied with NEO-FFI (Costa, McCrae, 1992), reactive coping strategies were studied with COPE inventory (Carver et al., 1989) and proactive coping strategies with Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI; Greenglass et al., 1999). The results are discussed in terms of the differences between boys and girls. In comparison with boys, the girls showed significantly higher neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and no significantly higher conscientiousness. The boys more often preferred problem- focused strategies and among their avoidance strategies are behavioural disengagement and humor. The girls more often apply emotion-focused strategies, seeking instrumental and emotional support especially, but also avoidance strategies of denial, mental disengagement, use of alcohol or drug.

A wise move would be to abandon the old but also the newer social-behavioural categorization of psychology; psychology is the core of modern, yet little coordinated sciences of man. The wise wish to dispose of the conjunction 'and' between experience and behaviour (behaviour and experience) in psychological research; a wise possibility would be a thorough application of the psycho-regulatory concept of behaviour that uses method integration in the study of human activity. The wisest would be to perceive personality with its self as the highest priority, to see it as a target or context of all psychological activity. The author elaborates the category of the system psycho-regulators of behaviour as a form of integrating some factorial traits with virtues proven by the development of humanism; apart from wisdom these include conscience, tolerance, pro-social attitude, moderation, humility, etc.
