Due to the lack of representativeness in the number of participants in experiment; the research had a pilote nature. The results are treated as a starting point to word hypothesis for further and deeper research. The paradoxes in managers’ appraisal are: the necessity of reaching high and measurable effects with simultaneous taking into account humanistic dimension of management on board; building and keeping high level of the engagement of employees loosely related to an employer because of time employment; the necessity to reconcile employee short working time in a company with the provision of access to key information and sensitive organisational knowledge.
