Abstract: In this paper I have attempted to present issues resulting from the management and personality psychology, including their implications for company management practice and for their impact on managers wellbeing and a quality of life. My research, based on Ryan and Deci concept, concerns the psychological needs, adaptation (Rotter) and hierarchical values (Rokeach) of senior managers. I assumed that the sense of the quality of life would reveal a significant relationship with personality-related and axiological dimensions among senior managers. I hypothesized positive correlation between independent personalityrelated variables distinguished in the personality and axiological model MOA for the sense of the quality of life such as the structure of needs (competence, autonomy, relatedness), adaptation and professional achievements. I also assumed a positive correlation between independent axiological variables: final and instrumental values. The determination rate was 0.49, that is it obtained 49% of variance of the variable of the sense of the quality of life being explained in the structural model MOA. Discussing the obtained results, we should emphasize the significance ascribed by senior managers to the following dimensions: adaptation, competence and relatedness for the sense of the quality of life.
