Mishchuk H. Labour Potential Use in Ukraine: Assessment Methodology and Mechanism for the Efficient Provision

This thesis focuses on the development of theoretical and methodological justification for the assessment and mechanism for the efficient provision of employment potential use in Ukraine. It does this by substantiating new methodological basis for the labour potential assessment. The author also takes into account the relationship between such factors as: employment, working hours, and productivity. This paper defines territorial basis and methodological fundamentals for the identification of employment potential carriers. The author then suggests a system of social innovations in the field of employment and proves that they are uncommon in Ukraine basing on a sociological survey of manufacturing enterprises. This empirical study attempts to craft a richer description, and deeper understanding, of the assessment of environmental or external factors that impact on employment potential use. Yet, in doing so, it also defines scientific and methodological assessment principles in view of social comfort factors. The theoretical and practical perspectives developed in this paper also improve scientific and methodological principles of assessing needs satisfaction in the context of social group as a prerequisite for labour potential implementation. In place of ever more intensive analyses, the paper then focuses on testing the new approach and, thus, helps to generate immediate measures to improve the interaction between the social partners in their choice of the areas that will ensure the use of the employment potential of the population. The thesis elaborates an organizational and economic mechanism to ensure the labour potential use in Ukraine, as well as its organizational and economic tools.
