Summary/Abstract: The article "On the Psychological Determinant of Personnel Management" discusses three issues: 1 The human subsystem as the main component of the company; 2. The psychological types and characteristics of humans; 3. Scientists on the importance of the psycho-physiological state of humans in the labor process. In the first issue, the three subsystems of the company are compared - the material, the organizational, the human, and the conclusion is that only the human system can "bring to life" the material and organizational subsystems and is thus the company's most valuable asset. In order to prove that a person, in addition to professional knowledge, needs corresponding psycho- physiological characteristics to be employed, the author has conducted a survey by questionnaire in Georgian company, which is about psychological compatibility of employees with the occupied position. The survey found that 70% of employees do not work by profession, 83% do not like their job, 84% do not like the company, 82% think that as interesting job appears elsewhere, they will leave the company, 90% of employees think that there are no partnership relations in the company, 100% think that the company needs to open a psychological cabinet, 60% believe that employees relationship is unfavorable, etc. The second issue states that there are no two persons with identical psychophysiological characteristics. Therefore, even if they are on the same professional level, exactly due to these distinctive characteristics, they produce differentiated results in labor. This part of the work presents 16 groups of humans’ psycho-physiological types and characterizes them, expresses opinions about the determination of job seekers’ types via their testing during the recruitment process carried out by Georgian companies and specifies most productive jobs for some types. This selection is made according to the Meyer-Briggs Indicator Test. In addition, the article discusses the tests of other scientists - R. Jatella test, Bassa Darck test, J. Ravenna test, G. Spielberg test, Luscher test, etc. The third issue introduces the opinions of various scientists - P. Drucker, N. Eriashvili, Z. Ghudushauri, etc. - on the psychological determinant of company personnel management and gives conclusion on its necessary involvement in the management. In the third part of the article, specifically on this subject, all scientists unanimously acknowledge that the company's successes are the result of the will and wisdom of those working there. Their character, mood, emotion, interest and other psychophysiological characteristics are revealed in the will. These scientists conclude that if the interests of the employees match the interests of the employer, such people create creatures of epochal significance.
