Authors hypothesis is that a manager who makes critical decisions that could greatly influence the survival or health of the organization and its employees is in a way analogous to a gambler. This has never been investigated before from the aspect of the role of emotions and personal traits in making decisions in crisis conditions.

Aim:

To assess the personality traits in managers in health services and to find out the similarities and differences between pathological gamblers and managers in health services. Subjects: 32 managers in health care services (20 female, 12 male) comprised physicians, economists and pharmacologists.

Methods:

The psychological test PIE (Profile Index of Emotion) was applied to examine the emotional and personality profile of the subjects.

Results:

There are similarities between personality traits of managers and gamblers in a way that they both have the lower self-control, they enter in the risk situations more than average people, they don't make long future plans, they have increased depressiveness and aggressiveness which in combination shows auto destructive behaviour.

Yet, there are also some prominent differences. Gamblers have disturbed impulse control, they are socially inhibited, they have lack of social skills and they are highly anxious as well as impulsive and they lack the trust towards people and managers are highly sociable and trustful.

The question remains whether the personality traits shown are hereditary or developed during the life according the situation.
