1. Introduction

The evaluation of a company by PSIHOLTD mainly use psychological methods which regard the behavior of the human organizations, the groups and persons in our conditions. This evaluation is different from the others by the elements that follow:

• The investigation area includes all the employees of the company together.
• The employees are allotted personal codes and the forms of research needn't be signed.
• A significant growing of participation is obtained, and so is a growing of interest in the investigation among those investigated.
• A great quantity of qualitative information is provided.
• A feedback in the investigated company is instituted.
• A global evaluation of the company and the compartments or working groups is provided for the Manager. He can watch "the inside of the human organization" and can act on it and on the employees` behavior, being considered capable to determine their evolution.
• The discomfort of a traditional psychological investigation is diminished or even removed.
• The activity of the company is not disturbed.

• 50-300 employees.
• The availability of the company in answering the intense informational requests.
• The availability of each employee to participate in the investigation.

2. Principles

• All compartments and persons (possible exception: the employer) are investigated.
• The research is structured on modules (activities) that make possible investigation of any level, sector, compartment, group of more such elements and the whole company. For a joint company there is also possible the separate evaluation of the Romanian partner and respectively of the foreign partner including the mutual perceptions.
• The research is focused on the activity of the managerial team, on the compartments and on the connection staff.
• The research is not focused on the object of activity (this one is indifferent) or on the economic aspects (they are collateral for us).
• By Contract is stipulated - and the investigated staff is informed on it in the SIGNAL given at the beginning of the research - so as the statute and position of members in the organization won't be affected by the results obtained or by the answers given to the research questionnaires.
• The principle of confidentiality (a clause in the Contract) has the aim of protecting the information for two parts (data and information on the Client, the methods and means of the Consultant are not accessible to a third part. According to it, no part can use the information obtained during research disadvantaging the other part and / or without the written agreement of this one.
• The quality of the research depends on the quality and objectivity of information from the investigated company. Our activity becomes possible when the Client provides all data (situations, elements, information, etc.) necessary for the investigation (clause in the Contract) and by the fixed terms of delivery. On the other hand an intrinsic condition of the research is returning all the instruments (questionnaires, tests, etc.) from the Client and distributed by Consultant (clause in the Contract).
• As for the research, in order to reach its purpose and not generate tensions it is necessary that each investigated level (compartment, group, etc.) should consult the synthesis of the accomplished evaluation for that level (clause in the Contract). It is not applied to the individual. In case of traditional psychological evaluation (psychological exam) a person may consult own profile but he/she may not consult the psychological profile of another person in the company (colleague, boss, subordinate, etc.).
• The Consultant assumes his duty of presenting the real state of the company, sections, compartments, work groups, etc. as they result from the analysis remaking and interpreting the data. The results of the research are completely at the Client's disposal. If there are any precautions in using and applying them the Consultant has the duty of mentioning them.
• The research takes place under the conditions proposed by the Consultant (the method of applying the research questionnaires, circumstances of investigation, etc.).

• The psychological evaluation of company was conceived especially for the MANAGER who is taking action now in Romania. This businessman has neither the naivete nor the disposability of wasting his forces assisting to abstract and sterile academic controversies about "the Angeles's sex". At the first contact with the post-communist Romania he coldly (even cynically) evaluates what he has in front of his own eyes and the results is something like this:
  " It (the Romanian reality - our notation) is like a huge soft belly where there live unembarrassed smugglers, prostitutes, enterprising people, abandoned children, multinational enterprises managers, peasants, and workers. It is a place for all in the chaotic transition to free economy " - quotation from "Il Sole - 24h"(Italian newspaper). But all these are explained exactly by...what is not seen (the eastern countries` experiences was such).
• Consequently, the intentioned research has an applicable character, its general purpose being that of offering the MANAGER an orientation in these untypical circumstances and (eventually) a ground for specific decisions.
• The information obtained allow:
  • The description and appreciation of the real state in the investigated area or phenomenon (for example, the company in its whole, its compartments, groups, human potential, etc.)
  • The co-ordination existing in the company its own and its compartments` capacity to answer the multiple informational requests.
  • The appreciation of the internal flexibility (the relations between company's strategies and its employees` aspirations) and external flexibility (accommodation to the fluctuations of the social system).
  • The analysis of the state of mind inside of compartments and the entire company.
  • The description of the prevalent mentality inside the groups or at the company's level and the presentation of the differences of reaction and attitude towards the democratic standards and the strategies imposed.
  • The analysis of the blocking, problems latent tendencies inside the compartments and at the company's level.
  • The focusing on the causes that generated the situations (see chapter CONCLUSIONS) of each topic).
  • The presentation of the evolution tendencies and their possible strategies (see chapter RECOMMENDATIONS of each topic).
• The way in which the research is managed generates a feedback at the investigated levels and at the company's level.
• The way in which the research is directed permits that the time required to an employee of the investigated company, be relatively diminished and allotted other convenient periods of time.

• The focusing on the qualitative aspects have determined the results of the evaluation to be dependent on two factors difficult to quantify: the quality and the objectivity of the information provided by the Client and the Consultant's remaking /interpretation by means proper to field of this qualitative information.
• The extended aria of investigation and the big volume of qualitative information may be in some cases an obstacle. To whose who decide at an inferior level (having a reduced independence in the company), it may appear the feeling of a growing of the undetermined and uncertainty "on the top of the organization".
• The focusing of the research on the managerial activity, compartments and present staff can lead to a temporary growing of tension at these levels and even to the appearance of a feeling of hostility against the research.
• The way in which the research questionnaire are made (i.e. it is required the emphasizing of blocking, taboos, opinion on "bosses", projects, achievement and failures, aspirations, etc.) can lead to the feeling of temporary growing on insecurity at individual level and implicitly to a temporary growing of hostility against the authority in general.

• The connection interface with the company throughout the research is established.
• The register of research is set up in two copies where all the documents (situations, information) circulating between the Consultant and Client and vice versa (a copy for each one) are registered and kept all except the questionnaires (tests) applied to individuals and completely recovered by the Consultant (clause in the Contract).
• The SIGNAL of the research is distributed by the Consultant towards the staff of the company investigated and (eventually) the Client's message to his own employees.
• With the Client's support the research organizational chart is the basis on which the levels, compartments, groups, etc. investigated are minutely established.
• The research organizational chart is encoded and a code for each employee is established. This code is written on the research questionnaires filled in by each employee. The codes are accessible to the Consultant only (clause in the Contract).
• THE RESEARCH PLAN is established. This is materialized in:
  • THE OBJECTIVES of the research.
  • THE TYPE and NUMBER of THE THEMES / WORKS that will be elaborated by the Consultant.
• THE ALGORITM of the research is minutely established:
  • THE FINAL TERM for the closing of the research:
  • THE STAGES of research:
    • I ^ST STAGE (data gathering, appliance of the research questionnaires, controlled interviews, etc.).
    • II ^ND STAGE (working out of the data, preparing of THE THEMES / WORKS and their delivering to the CLIENT).
  • PARTIAL TERMS for the delivery of THEMS / WORKS.
• THE SCHEDULING of the periods of time established at the I^ST stage for investigation (interviews, questionnaires applied, tests, etc.) are distributed to the Client's staff.

• Essentially, the psychological evaluation is made on two distinct plans:
  • Level I. It is focused on the company (history, organization, compartments, climate, image, aims, objectives, strategies, evolution, tendencies, etc.).
  • Levell II. It is focused on the staff (work groups on the company).
• The research is structured on activities (see OFFER) that make possible the emphasizing of the relations between these levels, the separated investigation of any level, sector, compartment, group and more such elements respectively the entire company. For the joint companies the separate evaluation of the Romanian partner or of the foreign one is possible, including the mutual perceptions.
