Abstract
<jats:p>The article examines the relationship between personality traits and stress resilience among workers in the oil and gas industry. The study aims to identify characterological features that determine the ability to effectively cope with stress under high professional workload and industrial risks. The diagnostic tools employed include K. Leonhard’s methodology for assessing character accentuations, as well as three stress resilience questionnaires: A. O. Prokhorov’s stress state diagnostics, I. D. Ladanov and V. A. Urazayeva’s express diagnostics of stress factors in managerial activities, and A. Weissman’s professional stress assessment questionnaire. The results revealed that the most prevalent accentuations in oil and gas sector workers are hyperthymic, exalted, and emotive types. The highest stress resilience was observed in hyperthymic–exalted and hyperthymic–emotive combinations, characterized by activity, optimism, and rapid adaptability. Groups with anxious and cyclothymic traits demonstrated lower stress resilience, accompanied by difficulties in emotional regulation and reduced efficiency under stress. The practical significance lies in applying these findings to personnel selection, forming stress-resilient teams, and developing programs to prevent professional burnout, thereby enhancing workplace safety and operational efficiency in oil and gas enterprises.</jats:p>
