The significance of personal, communicative, motivational, and emotional-volitional characteristics of a manager in shaping an effective human resource management system capable of ensuring organizational sustainability in conditions of uncertainty is substantiated. Special attention is paid to the role of emotional intelligence, reflexivity, social responsibility, stress resilience, and self-regulation as key factors of professional success for HR managers. It is demonstrated that a high level of development of these qualities contributes to constructive conflict resolution, the formation of a positive socio-psychological climate, the maintenance of trust within teams, and the strengthening of corporate identity.

Their impact on organizational climate, employee engagement, work motivation, productivity, and the effectiveness of managerial decision – making is determined.

The psychological mechanisms underlying the formation of the HR managers leadership style are revealed, taking into account individual psychological characteristics, professional experience, value orientations, and the specific features of corporate culture. Within the empirical part of the research, the relationship between leadership qualities, managerial style, and indicators of HR professionals performance effectiveness was examined, including employee satisfaction, recruitment efficiency, quality of onboarding processes, and staff retention. The findings indicate that the combination of a democratic management style with elements of transformational leadership promotes the establishment of trus-based relationships within teams, increases employees sense of responsibility, fosters the development of their professional potential, enhances intrinsic motivation, and reduces the risk of professional burnout among both employees and HR managers. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the obtained results in the system of professional training and advanced development of HR managers, in designing programs for the development of leadership competencies, in forming models for assessing managerial potential, and in improving human resource management strategies.
