The subject of this article is how ex-managers characterized by certain personality patterns (A or C) behave at the labour market. The article consists of two parts. The theoretical one is connected with presentation of the literature which is devoted to personality types A and C. In the empirical part we can find the results of the research into ex – managers who lost their jobs and remain unemployed. One may observe differences between the ex-managers’ personality pattern (A or C) and their behaviours. The latter tried to find a new job more often than the former and were also more successful.
