The objective of this study is a comparative analysis of the psychological adaptability of shift staff in oil and gas and diamond production in the Far North. In total, 227 shift workers took part in the study. Using the methods of psychophysiological and psychological testing, we studied the following parameters of the psychological adaptation of shift personnel: regulatory processes, subjective control, socio-psychological adaptation and personality characteristics. As a result of the study, some differences were found in the parameters of the psychological adaptation of shift workers of various industries. In conclusion, the parameters of socio-psychological adaptation as a criterion of psychological adaptation for the workers of the southern shift are much higher than for the shift workers in the Far North. The shift workers with a favorable functional status have a higher dominance rate. The workers in the Far North also have a higher level of self-regulation.
