The financial crisis developed today leads to sharp restriction of possibilities of the companies on application of material compensation as method of maintenance of steady working capacity of workers. There is a necessity to investigate non-material factors of overall performance [1]. In this context especially actual there is a search of new tools of forming of mutual relations in collective and managements of activity of the personnel which allow to involve most effectively potential of social resources of the organization [2].

The corresponding program providing use sociometrical and biographical methods has been developed for the decision of tasks in view.

By results of spent poll features of interpersonal relations in agency have been revealed. The First-third groups - groups with high level of unity. In them business relations between workers prevail. Members of these divisions in corresponding situations are approved or condemned irrespective of personal sympathies and antipathies. Group of creative department - group with low level of unity. Value of an index at this group below average sizes specifies that in division psychological incompatibility of some employees (fig. 1).
