Social sphere in the conditions of market relations

In the transition to a market economy, social aspects in the sphere of production are clearly underestimated. Already at the beginning of economic reforms, the course towards the abolition of the social sector of enterprises was clearly manifested: preschool institutions, sports and recreation complexes. At the same time, the question of ensuring their break-even functioning was not raised, but with the tacit consent federal services and local self-government objects of the social sphere were sold, closed, taken away.

Unemployment led to a cheap labor market, which dramatically changed the attitude of entrepreneurs towards personnel. In turn, this generates a negative response from workers. Collective agreements at enterprises have lost their significance, the role trade union organizations minimized, untimely payment of wages - all this has a negative impact on the level of organization of labor and production. However, underestimation of personnel policy is an unacceptable mistake that has economic and social consequences.

In the world practice of highly developed countries, investment priorities are focused on meeting a number of social needs - the development of the housing industry, the improvement of infrastructure and the service sector. A new development model is being formed, the main priority in which is to improve the quality of life, including the improvement of health and improvement of working conditions and the environment, improving the quality of medical services, the production of environmentally friendly food, ensuring social and personal security and conditions for the development and self-realization of the individual.

It is extremely difficult for the Russian economy, at this stage of development, to combine ensuring economic growth and improving the quality of life. But this is a paramount problem and it needs to be solved, for this purpose it is necessary to develop concepts and programs (at the federal and regional levels) of scientific and economic development.

It is innovative activity that provides the conditions for improving production relations, changes the forms of organization, conditions, nature and content of labor.

As a result of social consequences innovation activities conditions are created for the revitalization of human activity, which ultimately directly or indirectly affects the recovery of the economy. The social consequences of innovation activities are ambiguous, and therefore they should be assessed depending on the achievement of the goal. scientific and technological development. Thus, the introduction of computer equipment and information technologies determines the use of the highest stage of production automation. But at the same time, the complexity of production processes increases, the functions of the worker, his role in production, change. Automation and robotization facilitate work, but also increase the responsibility of the worker, require a special production culture and intelligence, and a constant increase in the level of knowledge.

The impact of innovations on the structure of intensive work of workers is quite complex and contradictory. Under conditions of technical improvement of production, along with a reduction in the expenditure of physical energy and lightening of labor, mental and nervous stress increases. Thus, contradictions arise between the acceleration of the transformation of production processes, the increase in the flow of information and the limited physical and psycho-physiological abilities of a person.

Different social consequences have a different impact on economic efficiency, increasing or decreasing it. However, the social impacts of innovation tend to be manageable, reducing negative impacts and increasing positive ones. This is one of the features of managing the social development of individual enterprises and industries.

Targeted impacts on the social consequences of innovation activities should ensure an increase in the social effect.

N. Smelser considers collective behavior as

Social Consequences- these are expected, planned or unexpected, spontaneously arising, unforeseen results of transformations in society, any innovations in a limited territorial social system (region, city) or social organization (enterprise, firm, institution) that affect the social relations of groups, communities , individuals. Social consequences can be positive and negative, immediate and remote (in terms of the time of occurrence), direct or indirect (in connection with the main direction of transformations), etc. Social impacts are generally related to social goals and concerns and are an important concept in social management.

Responsibility is an obligation placed on or undertaken by someone to account for any of their actions and accept the blame for possible consequences. From a psychological point of view, responsibility is a more complex concept, appearing in various psychological phenomena. Responsibilitythis is, first of all, the individual's awareness of those requirements and norms for the organization of labor activity, the consequences of their fulfillment and non-fulfilment, which exist in the team, labor organization, and society. But awareness alone is not enough; an active, effective desire is needed to realize these requirements in the conditions of joint work, to embody these norms in concrete actions and deeds. Thus, when we talk about responsibility, we are not talking about a simple performance of what is due, but about an active life position, the desire to achieve what is due. At the same time, it is important that a person is responsible for his actions, first of all, to himself, to his conscience.



On the other hand, responsibility can be considered as a psychological trait of a person, which is steadily manifested in his attitude to work, to the team, to himself. Along with this, the concept of responsibility also includes an emotional-sensory component, expressed in a person's sense of responsibility, duty and conscience.

Thus, responsibility as a psychological phenomenon is the result of many mental functions of a person: cognitive, emotional and behavioral. The essential signs of responsibility, manifested in behavior, are accuracy, punctuality, commitment to the performance of one's duties, readiness to be responsible for the consequences of one's actions. Responsible behavior presupposes professionalism, knowledge of one's business, and the desire to understand complex issues. It cannot be implemented successfully if a person does not have developed emotional qualities: the ability to empathize, sensitivity to the state of another person. The implementation of responsible behavior requires strong-willed qualities: perseverance, patience, endurance, perseverance.

Responsibility is directly related to the fulfillment of obligations, which is understood as “a promise or contract that requires unconditional fulfillment from the one who accepted them.

Responsibility has always been related to a certain subject and reflects the scope of the tasks and duties of the individual, i.e. debt limits.

Duty there is a duty of a person to someone or to his conscience.

Conscience is the awareness and experience of responsibility, based on self-assessments of the performance of duties.

The subject of responsibility may be:

individual personality;

a group as a certain community of people;

the state as a kind of macrostructure.

The presence of an instance before which the subject can and must be held accountable for his actions is an important regulator. public life. These authorities may be:

1) a publicly significant person (for example, a president, head of a company, etc.);

2) social group (political party, organization, society, etc.);

3) historically established ethical, moral, religious and other requirements.

Types of responsibility: legal, moral, professional, social and others. Role duties and social relations that determine them are taken as one of the criteria of social responsibility. It is also possible to choose more particular criteria for classifying liability, on the basis of which such types of liability are determined, such as criminal, administrative, material, moral.

The psychological prerequisite for responsibility is the possibility of choice, i.e. conscious preference for a certain line of behavior. The choice can be made in complicated conditions, for example, in conflict situations, where the interests of a single individual, group of people or society collide.

Responsibility is considered the most important property of a person. If we are talking about the adoption of social norms of behavior, then we usually talk about the social responsibility of the individual. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that its object is social norms and role functions. The subject of control can be both the person himself and his social environment.

Awareness of responsibility- first of all, the reflection in the subject of being of social necessity, i.e. understanding the meaning of the actions taken and the consequences. As a result, the attribution of responsibility is generated by the vital need to evaluate the results of activities, as well as to determine the level of success or failure, impose penalties, etc.

The concept of responsibility directly interacts with the concept of "independence". When the decision is made personally by the subject of the action, then all responsibility falls on him. Responsibility is devalued in the group.

At the enterprise, the very nature of the activity gives rise to industrial conflicts. Let us give a conflict example of such a managerial situation. One employee works on an expensive imported machine, which requires careful handling and fine tuning during operation. But the employee is not responsible for its safety. Therefore, in the event of an accident, a person blames the technician or engineer responsible for its technical condition. There is a conflict - who is to blame? This situation could not arise if the operation and maintenance of the machine were the responsibility of the same department, in which the necessary training of personnel in the use of equipment would be carried out.

One of the forms of legal and moral support for the social activity of the individual is responsibility for inaction. A person should feel responsible not only for what he did, but also for what he did not do, although he had to do it.

Professional Responsibility requires constant psychological readiness to take specific actions. In some positions, including leadership, responsibility is the main source of mental stress over time.

Performing the basic functions of management, the manager solves complex tasks that are not of the same order in content and structure. Their constituent elements are economic, legal, technological, socio-psychological, educational and other tasks. The head is obliged to comply with state laws, legal norms and at the same time be responsible for his work and the work of his subordinates.

Distinguish legal and social responsibility.

Legal liability means following specific laws and regulations state regulation, which determines what an organization can and cannot do, a group as a separate element of an organization, an individual as an object of management.

Unlike the legal Social responsibility- this is a certain degree of voluntary response to social problems in accordance with social norms, values, characteristics of the subculture and moral obligations.

Social responsibility lies outside the requirements defined by law or regulatory authorities. Example: donations to help sick children, disabled people, etc. Such behavior is not regulated by legal laws and is voluntary. Another example: donor activity to provide emergency care to a patient. This is an example of an altruistic act associated with the realization of duty.

Social responsibility is associated with the implementation of general rules, norms that are assimilated by a person. Social norms of behavior are formed gradually in the process of growing up, starting from childhood. Gradually, from external requirements, they become internal, psychological formations.

Social responsibility serves as a means of internal control of the individual (it is called self-control), i.e. activities that are carried out consciously and voluntarily.

A person's awareness of the need for social responsibility is associated with the action of various factors: cognitive, motivational, situational, characterological, personal and others.

Social responsibility is directly related to the implementation of group norms of behavior. When it is said that an employee violates the norms of the group of which he is a member, this means that such norms exist and that the person must follow them.

Group norms are understood as a set of requirements and rules developed within a group as a certain community and playing the role of the most important means of regulating the behavior of members of this group.

The practice of forming and functioning of groups (in social psychology they are called "small" or "working" groups) indicates that these norms are not set by anyone from the outside, but are added up in the process joint activities of people. We can say that group norms are created spontaneously and become the standards of behavior for all members of the group.

In a close-knit group, norms of relations with other people are also formed. The value-oriented unity of the group is one of the complex socio-psychological phenomena, since it is systemic in nature. To date, it has not been sufficiently studied. Group norms contribute to the performance of certain actions by people performing common work. The existence of group norms makes it possible to predict the behavior of not only individual members of the group, but the entire group as a whole. In the presence of group norms, the group itself becomes a collective organizer and coordinator of the activities of performers. The system of group norms is controlled by the group itself. Therefore, not only the leader, but the group itself become the subjects of management by all its members.

In any organization with a developed structure, there are formal and informal groups.

The leader is responsible not only for the present, but also for the future, for fulfilling his duties and foreseeing the consequences of his own actions. As an example, we can take any managerial decision, without which an organizational task cannot be solved. So, without solving the problems of personnel management, without selecting the necessary personnel and management personnel, it is impossible to solve a single managerial problem.

For any decision made, the leader is responsible. But there are situations when the leader does not accept specific solutions. Failure to make decisions may be a violation of the social responsibility of the leader. For example, no decision has been made to check safety measures by managers who are directly related to this. The result is the death of people due to the resulting fire.

The leader must foresee the consequences of his inaction and be ready to bear responsibility for it. The social responsibility of managers may conflict with legal responsibility. For example, contrary to the law, the manager seeks funds by renting out premises located on the territory of the enterprise to pay off wage arrears to employees. Such behavior of the leader from purely human positions can be regarded as socially responsible.

Social responsibility should be considered as a persistent personal property. When making life plans, a person usually weighs whether this goal is feasible for him or whether he needs to rely on external forces, on other people. According to researchers, one person can act as the master of his own destiny, while the other "floats at the will of the waves", i.e. one person takes responsibility and the other walks away from it.

In this regard, two different strategies of human behavior should be noted:

1) see the source of control of your life in external environment;

2) in itself.

In accordance with the views of J. Rotter, if a person takes responsibility for the events of his life, then this means that the person has "internal" control. The internality of the personality positively correlates with social responsibility, with awareness of the meaning and goals of life. Individuals with an internal locus of control (locus of control- the property of a person to determine the measure of responsibility for their actions to themselves or external circumstances) take responsibility for the course of life events, guided by a sense of duty, morality and clearly aware of the meaning.

Socially responsible individuals are characterized by the presence of positive qualities, ranging from punctuality, accuracy, obedience and ending with moral, civic traits such as honesty, justice, adherence to principles, etc.

If responsibility is attributed by circumstances to other people or to an occasion, then this characterizes the presence of an external, i.e. "external" control. The internality and externality of the locus of control are stable personality traits formed in the process of socialization (according to J. Rotter). Socialization- this is the result of the inclusion of a person in social relations, thanks to which social experience is assimilated, and then reproduced in activity. In contrast to interval, external personalities, suspiciousness, anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, conformism, dogmatism, authoritarianism, etc. are characteristic.
