It is proved that the processes of management decision-making (PMD) are organized in activity on the basis of structural-level principle in integral hierarchy with five macrolevels. The main styles of realization of PMD are revealed. The funct ional organization of the processes of decision-making in management is cha racterized in details; the main process principles of their functional gene sis and their relation to other instrumental and expressive processes of or ganization of joint activity are revealed. The five-factors model of psycho logical structure of ability to management decisions is given. The main reg ularities of the genesis of PMD in the process of the subject's mastering o f profession are revealed and characterized.
