Purpose. To identify and justify the role of psychological resilience as a prerequisite for maintaining the motivational potential and self-efficacy of future managers under crisis conditions.
Methods. According to the research purpose, the following methods were used: Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) — to measure resilience; a modified version of K. Zamfir’s method by A. Rean — to assess the motivational profile; a self-assessment questionnaire on crisis experiences — to determine the individual impact of stress factors.
Results. The analysis revealed a predominance of motivation for self-realization, autonomy, and internal interest in learning among students, which serves as a foundation for effective management in crises. This group is less prone to burnout and more often follows a clear path of self-development. Gender differences were also identified: women showed higher emotional sensitivity, while men demonstrated stronger cognitive self-regulation. These findings confirm that psychological resilience not only helps overcome difficulties but also serves as a key mechanism for sustaining motivation for professional development in crisis situations.
Conclusions. Psychological resilience is a crucial factor enabling future managers to maintain their motivational potential in challenging and unstable environments. Developing resilience should be a priority in management training. High resilience supports internal motivation and enhances self-efficacy, decision-making, stress management, and adaptability. It is a key adaptive resource for student-managers in crisis conditions. Individuals with high resilience can mobilize internal resources and maintain emotional balance and goal orientation, which constitutes self-efficacy even under stress and uncertainty.
