Methods/Statistical Analysis: The data for the investigation have been compiled by conducting individual questionnaire survey of 300 respondents. The purposive sampling of the respondents was represented by the employees from twenty large Russian companies. Findings: The results of the study made it possible to identify the high, the middle and the low level of the personnel loyalty depending on the level of the need satisfaction in a company. It has been formally determined that the value of the integral indicator of the company personnel need satisfaction lower than 0.52 is a critical level indicating decrease in loyal attitude of the personnel.
