Labour motivation of financial inspectors of agricultural enterprises

Abstract

Development of the socially oriented market economy of Ukraine, effective realization of reforms in this area and improvement of people’s living standards are not possible without forming a high level of labour motivation of financial inspectors, particularly of agricultural enterprises. However, the absence of qualitative changes after the partition of land and property of economic entities of agrarian sector of economy negatively affected both their profitability and motivation of agrarian labour. Taking into account the relevance of the above-mentioned problem and the fact, that it has not been deeply studied and solved, the main objective of the research is to characterize the labor motivation of financial inspectors of agricultural enterprises and to develop measures of promoting it. The methodological basis of this research comprises the scientific dialectical method of cognition, where the research object is studied as a dynamic system in the process of its development. The methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction methods have been applied in studying and generalizing theoretical and practical developments. Furthermore, the research is based on legal and regulatory economic documents, developments of research institutions and scientists-economists as well as findings of monographic studies. Our findings have it that the main components of the models of labor motivation of financial inspectors of agricultural enterprises are as follows: material (meeting the priority needs of workers); socio-psychological (focusing on satisfying peasants’ toplevel needs), complex (combination of the best material and socio-psychological incentives). The first component is the dominant one, as the workers, first of all, wish to improve their own well-being, whereas the second component does not make a substantial influence on the qualitative attitude to agrarians’ labour. The obtained results of the research are a basis for studying and solving the problem of forming a high-level labor motivation of financial inspectors of economic entities of all areas of social activity as a whole.
