Summary/Abstract: The presented paper focuses on the topic of alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction in terms of work and organisational psychology. Specifically, it introduces the issues of alcohol abuse with people in managerial positions, and their impact on work-related functions and leadership. We emphasise the mutual connection of addictions as a biopsychosocial issue in terms of clinical psychology with applications on abuse in managerial positions and on the workplace. We also analyse the issues of stress, personality traits of managers and their psychological vulnerability to alcohol addiction.
