Abstract
The skills of non-standard thinking and creativity play an important role in stressful situations. We hypothesized that stress factors influence the effectiveness of passing the assessment by employees: high level of creativity increases the effectiveness of task execution. We conducted the experiment and used J. Guilford’s technique and tasks on creativity thinking, created by T. Lubart and G. Altshuller. The sample consisted of 200 examinees (92 females and 108 males), employees of different organizations (age — from 23 to 60). The results show that time limitation as a stressful factor decreases the effectiveness of passing the assessment by employees with both low and high levels of creativity (p≤0,01). Work in a pair does not influence the effectiveness of passing the assessment regardless of the level of creativity (p≥0,05). Multitasking is stressful for employees with a low level of creativity (p≤0,01). The results of our research can be taken as principles of psychological trainings for development of employees’ stress-resistance.
