A SUCCESSFULL COMPLETION OF THE WRITTEN TEST IS CONDITION REQUIRED FOR REACHING THE ORAL STAGE. EACH OF THE TWO STAGE CAN BE PASSED WITH A MINIMUM OF 18/30. THE FINAL GRADE IS SIMPLY THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO PARTIAL RESULTS. THE WRITTEN EXAMINATIONN , LASTING APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AND HALF, IS AIMED AT DETERMINING IN A CLEAR AND UNAMBIGUOUS MANNER THE STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE AND THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND BOTH THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENTS AS TARGETED IN THE PROGRAMME. FINALLY IT VERIFIES HOW THE STUDENTS CAN APPLY THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE. THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION COMPRISES TWO PARTS. THE FIRST PART CONSISTS OF 26 MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS : 22 AMONG THEM WITH A SCORE OF 1 AND THE REMAINING 4 WITH A SCORE OF 1,5. THE QUESTIONS SEQUENCE FOLLOWS THE ORDER OF CHAPTERS IN THE TEXTBOOKS: SETS OF FOUR QUESTIONS THAT ARE WORTH, RESPECTIVELY, 1 POINT FOR THE CORRECT RESPONSE AND 1 QUESTION THAT IS WORTH 1 POINT AND HALF FOR THE CORRECT RESPONSE ARE ABOUT I)THE PERSONALITY, THE MOTIVATION AS SINGLE OR AS GROUP II) THE PROBLEM -SOLVING, THE DECISION MAKING, THE STRESS III) THE LEADERSHIP IV) THE ORGANIZATION OF WORK AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
