Russian Manager's Criteria of Effectiveness: Managerial Work Experience and Its Consequences

This study aims at investigating Russian managers’ set of measurable and unmeasurable criteria of the effectiveness of their professional activities. The content analyses and statistical analyses were applied. The results of this study demonstrated that Russian experienced managers use the similar number of measurable and unmeasurable criteria to control and assess achievement of goals. Furthermore, they use unmeasurable criteria more often than measurable ones for controlling and assessing effectiveness of both the process and behavior (differences are of a statistical significance).
