Human resources are a considerable comparative advantage of each organization, as such they should not be stagnating, on the contrary, they should strive to improve their professional knowledge, but also to improve their so-called soft skills, such as interpersonal skills. Requirements for key competencies for university graduates from a technical university are continuously increasing. The aim of the paper is to assess and evaluate the ethical credibility of selected subjects in the field of soft skills based on our research conducted in 2018 at the Technical University in Zvolen. It is an evaluation of ethical credibility of selected subjects. We approached our research from two angles. On one hand, we surveyed students of TU in Zvolen, who are developing soft skills as part of their curriculum at the university. On the other hand, we focused our research of ethical credibility in selected organizations operating in Slovakia.

We centred our attention on communication, teamwork, stress resilience, time management and conflict resolution. The result of our research is an evaluation of mechanisms of ethical credibility in selected subjects in Slovakia.
