Abstract

The article describes the procedure of development and validation of a new questionnaire which measures the level of psychological executor’s readiness for transition to management. In understanding the structure of readiness, we proceed from the idea that the psychological readiness is a consequence of the unfolding process of managerial self-determination, which means that personalistic sense of management and worker’s own estimates as a leader and a Manager are measurable components of psychological executor’s readiness to transition to management. The peculiarity of the questionnaire is a direct measurement of readiness, readiness is not understood as a personal trait, but as an attitude or a mood. The questionnaire showed the presence of construct validity and high reliability, both for internal consistency and retest. This fact allows to use it as a psychodiagnostic tool, which is applicable in the practical work of the organizational psychologist.
