The study of factors that influence the occurrence of threats is of particular importance in the theory and practice of ensuring personnel security in the organization. The article aims at the identification of major threats to the organizational personnel security. As the latter, we suggest considering a set of causes related to the intention of the employee/ employer to harm each other and determine the ability to causes harm. Based on the content analysis of publications we identified the main causes of threats to the personnel security of organization, sources of hazardous factors origin. Consequently, we compiled a list of personnel security threats consisting of 18 items. The authors assessed the acuteness and urgency of threats, their impact on the state of personnel security in the organizations (a study was carried out on the example of Irkutsk region). Using the technique of factor analysis, we extracted factors of personnel security threats in the organization, interpreted as the existence of vulnerabilities in the security system, poor quality of the labor force and its moral and ethical capacities, shortcomings and mistakes in the area of implemented personnel policy and in the policy of personnel security. The applied methods of analysis are as follows: content analysis; analysis of frequency tables and contingency tables; correlation and factor analysis. Materials of the expert survey conducted in the Irkutsk region (2015) serves as the analysis base. Kendall’s coefficient of concordance confirmed agreement among the experts. Obtained results can be used to investigate and identify personnel security threats in the organization, can form the basis for prediction and analysis of personnel security threats, for development of methods of their prevention.
