Abstract
The thesis shows a problem of individualistic factors, which predict mountain lifeguards’ behavior and indicate a possibility of using psychological knowledge in human resources management of a Voluntary Mountain Emergency (VME) organization. The main problem is to identify psychophysical properties, which influence the efficiency and safety of saving actions being carried out. In general, this behavior originates from performing saving tasks. The thesis particularly describes organizational behavior: saving activities and their efficiency. As it comes to human resources management in VME, the most reflective and interesting in a psychological way is risky behavior, which involves participation in saving actions, especially in extreme conditions. The thesis suggests system development of safety management in the mountains as well as risk management in dangerous situations, where lifeguards’ health and life is at risk. Safety management was described as actions causing accident risk reduction and decreasing their effects. Suggested organization of the safety system in the mountains involves both preventive and helpful behavior of people, who need help.
