The subject of the work is based on the causes of crisis in companies, crisis management and its consequences. The results of the research are presented in graphs from which the answers to the questions that were offered to the respondents are visible and analyzed. It is also evident from the results that the majority of respondents who participated in the research faced a crisis situation in the company. Stress and anxiety can be greatly increased by employees' fear of losing their jobs or having their pay reduced, making them the most vulnerable portion of a corporation in times of crisis. A business crisis in a company is caused by repeated wrong decisions and failure to solve problems. Therefore, it is important that the management is ready to react in a timely manner and recognize potential crisis situations in order to mitigate the crisis or to prevent it from happening at all and for the company to survive on the market. Resolving any crisis situation implies agreement and assessment of its causes. There is a determination of responsibility, which is not necessarily a way to end the crisis, but it can prolong its duration and change the perception of the crisis itself, its causes and consequences.
