The subject of the study was to check whether there are significant differences between the creative attitude, hope for success, and the education and functions of the employees of the organization. 120 people performing managerial and executive functions in organizations with a service and production profile in the south-eastern Poland participated in the study. There were 66 women and 54 men among the respondents. The research used the Creative Behaviour Questionnaire – KANH (Bernacka, Popek, Gierczyk, 2016) and the Questionnaire of Hope – KNS (Łaguna, Trzebiński, Zięba, 2005). The analyses were focused on comparing people holding managerial and executive functions as well as their education with regards to a creative attitude and hope for success. Based on the obtained results, it was found that people in managerial positions are characterized by a higher level of creative attitude and non-conformism compared to people holding executive functions. People with higher education are characterized by a higher level of hope for success, willpower, and a higher degree of ability to find solutions compared to people with secondary education. The obtained research results may be significant for increasing the effectiveness of activities in the organization.
