114 male and female patients were assigned on the basis of length of hospitalization and given measures of introversion-extraversion, social desirability, and anxiety in order to compare the personality characteristics shown by patients having various durations of hospitalization. Need for social approval increased with increased length of hospitalization. Anxiety diminished with increase in duration of hospitalization while no significant difference was noted on the basis of introversion-extraversion. The implication of these results was discussed in terms of effect of long-term hospitalization upon the patients personality, with the caution that the variable of length of stay may be confounded with degree of illness.

The relevance of the study is due to the growing need of the state and society to improve the efficiency of the Investigative Committee of Russia. Improving the effectiveness of investigative activities is impossible without taking into account the personal characteristics of the investigator. It is important to study personal and professional resources of employees that help improve productivity and performance. More and more women choose professions that were traditionally considered male. Of scientific interest is the study of the personal characteristics of employees of the preliminary investigation units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, where women work along with men. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to identify personal characteristics of male and female employees of investigative bodies. The article presents the research of male and female personality characteristics in the group of law enforcement authority's employees. The sample consisted of 23 officers aged 22 to 43 years (11 men, mean age was 29.18±4.05 years, 12 women, mean age 29.42±4.62 years).The average period of service in law enforcement authorities was 4.7±4.1 years. A fivefactor personality questionnaire was used in the study. It was revealed that male employees of the law enforcement authorities are characterized by a high level of self-control, a tendency to dominate, combined with perseverance and prudence. Female officers are prone to emotional stress, they also persistent, curios and tend to dominate. In addition, the influence of age and length of service on the personality characteristics of the officers, both male and female, was discovered.

Project designer (PD) personality defines the way PDs cooperate with the project team, make decisions, and influence the project performance. The current research focused on identifying attributes associated with successful PDs as considered by male and female project engineers. In this context, a five-year questionnaire survey collected 423 responses from Greek engineers. The survey recorded data regarding the respondents and the scores assigned to the required PDs attributes. The methodological approach included an SPSS database, followed by descriptive statistics analysis, independent sample t-test, and correlation analysis. It became obvious that gender influences the assessment and selection of desired PD personality characteristics. Female engineers tend to assign the highest Likert scale-based scores, whereas male respondents tend to assign lower scores. The most highly ranked abilities included “responsibility,” “reliability,” and “obedience to rules.” The findings facilitate the implementation of multi-criteria decision-making tools for efficient project teams.
