Summary/Abstract: Managing employees’ behaviour is a challenge that every leader has to face and is closely related to managing their interests. Changing human behaviour is a gradual process because behavioural change is the most difficult and slowest to achieve, and the outcome is expected in the long run. The main objective of this research is to study the theoretical and empirical aspects of the categories of “interests” and “behaviour” in terms of their functional and rational integration in the management process. The research thesis is based on the assumption that interests and behaviour are interrelated and interactive in the management process. To prove the thesis, the authors have set the following tasks:  to review and analyse the relationship between “interests” and “behaviour” in the field of management;  to present theoretical grounds for the impact of interests on behaviour;  to conduct an empirical survey for verification of the thesis;  to summarize and systematize the scientific and empirical results and outline the contributing points. The conducted research confirms the research thesis, outlining the scientific and applied results of the research as follows: a generalized, systematized and analysed conceptual apparatus, which enriches the scientific theory in the field of management and administration; opportunities for influence and interaction between interests and behaviour are presented; techniques and mechanisms ensuring the sustainable management of the organization are explored. Recommendations and proposals for balanced and sustainable development of internal organizational relations are presented.
