Summary/Abstract: Occurrence of cognitive distortions in the work of a manager is not rare. Ability to avoid these distortions is an important prerequisite for acceptance of the right decisions and strategies of a company development. Significance of cognitive distortions in accepting decisions by a manager is enhanced by the fact that these decisions influence not only the life of this manager, but also of the organization as a whole, i.e. all of manager’s co-workers. The presented report focuses on the possibility to identify and specify the indicators enabling prediction of occurrence of cognitive distortions in managerial work. The proposal and verification of these predictors of cognitive distortion occurrence are based on the concept by Beck, who described formation and effects of dysfunctional schemes and cognitive distortions in human life. It is clear that these distortions or errors affect both the work and the personal life of a person. The report presents the findings and knowledge which enable prediction of the future occurrence of cognitive distortions in the work of managers on the questionnaire basis.
