Methodological Approaches to Classifying Factors Influencing Labor Stimulation Procedures

Abstract

The mechanism for workforce stimulation functions under the influence of economic, organizational, social and psychological conditions that encourage employees to work. The impact of this mechanism on the workforce behavior depends on many factors. As there has been no clear interpretation of the above factors, there is a need for their systematization and evaluation of the strength of their influence on work incentives, to form an objective idea about the currently existing work incentives and develop measures to strengthen the impact of incentives and weaken the impact of disincentives on reproduction of the workforce.

The aim of the study is to improve the methodological approach to classifying the factors influencing the work incentives by analyzing the occurrence of various categories of the influencing factors, with identifying the factors with critical influence.

Theoretical and methodological approaches to classifying the factors influencing the work incentives are analyzed. A method is proposed by which the factors are classified by content, phase in the workforce reproduction, way of exposure, nature of impact, scope of impact, consequences (results) of impact, direction of impact, area of impact, degree of impact. A method for workforce stimulation is proposed, based on simultaneous application of the components of workforce renumeration, specified by the author: renumeration (stimulation) for nominal participation in productive work, renumeration (stimulation) for creativity, renumeration (stimulation) for the formal status in the enterprise, renumeration (stimulation) for the contribution in the production output, including for entrepreneurial skills.
