The research analyses the differences in the display of the Dark Triad (DT) traits in students of various specializations within the Economics and Management field. The research methods include the Short Dark Triad personality test by Jones and Paulhus, a comparative analysis of curricula and the content of discipline programmes, and the methods of descriptive statistics. The research results demonstrate that there is an association between the DT traits formed by the organizational behaviour model and the specialization, which confirms the hypothesis that there is a need for a differentiated approach to shaping the organizational behaviour model. The complete psychological DT profile indicator has the highest average “darkness” level for the Business Informatics (BI) students, and the lowest was found for the Financial Management (FM) students. Comparing the specializations by the proportion of students with “potentially harmful” DT traits and “extremely harmful general psychological profile” shows that among the FM students there are no persons with toxicity exceeding the psychometric norm. At the same time, the State and Municipal Administration specialization attracts persons with a higher narcissism level, and BI is attractive to students with an elevated level of Machiavellianism and psychopathy. The research has not revealed a statistically significant relationship between the manifestation of toxicity in management students of different specializations and the content of educational programmes for six semesters. The resulting conclusion about the presence of a relationship between toxic personality traits and the choice of the specialization by Russian students is consistent with the findings of studies in other countries. The authors believe that the management training programmes should include the disciplines that support the development of interpersonal communication skills and entrepreneurial thinking as key elements of the organizational behaviour model demanded by employers.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86735282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of Russian companies’ reports has shown that the low quality of decent work disclosures is attributed to the lack of data and collection and calculation methods. The article examines the current practices for evaluating non-financial reporting, presents the author’s approach to assessing the quality of decent work disclosures and reveals the relationship between the completeness of disclosed information and companies’ performance. Methodologically, the study rests upon the concept of corporate governance. Among the research methods used are quantitative, qualitative (content) and statistical analysis. The proposed assessment approach was tested at metallurgical and mining enterprises, which allowed identifying main gaps between the companies’ ranking positions and the practical provision of decent work for employees. A positive relationship was revealed between the completeness of disclosed information about decent work and the companies’ financial performance as well as labor productivity. The authors come up with recommendations for state regulation in the field of non-financial reporting. The proposed approach allows conducting a fair assessment of the depth of disclosure in non-financial reporting and comparing the levels of provision with decent work in different companies, which together will contribute to improving the effectiveness of the positioning strategy and formation of its unique socially oriented image.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77182507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper focuses on adapting the cluster analysis method to improve the financial performance of retail outlets by controlling relatively homogeneous objects, such as retail space, assortment depth, and average bill. Methodologically, the study relies on the theory of marketing. The research methodology rests on the adaptation of cluster analysis for food retailers. The information base includes retailers’ official websites, expert and analytical materials, as well as databases statista.com and 2gis.ru. The study presents the results of a competitive analysis of changes in the Russian retail market and identifies industry leaders and the most promising retail formats. We propose a mathematical model by using k-means clustering to calculate evaluation criteria and use them as the basis for building a ranking of a food retailer’s stores. The model was tested using the case study of a retail company in Perm (Perm krai, Russia). The identified evaluation criteria are sales volume, retail space, average bill, marginality, the number of SKUs, and service costs. The level of the dependence of retail development on these criteria is calculated. Based on the results of food stores clustering, we single out five clusters with similar approaches to the operational management of retail formats and determine the necessary inventory and logistics. The developed model of stores clustering contributes to the implementation of outlets provision standards and enhances retailers’ performance and the level of customer service.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86085457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects and ways of ensuring the commitments credibility are discussed in the new institutional economics and game theory. At the same time, there is a number of unresolved issues related to the microeconomic aspects of obligations’ reliability in contracts regarding specific resources. The article delves into various approaches to determining credible commitments in contractual relations at the micro level in the context of bilateral (multilateral) opportunism. The methodological basis of the study is the transaction costs economics. The paper shows the limitations of the compensation approach in modeling credible liabilities and explains the importance of relational credible commitments for ensuring sustainability and effectiveness of contracts. The author proposes an extended model of hostages in contracts using specific resources as a way of solving the “ugly princess” problem. Based on the specification of the temporal structure of contracting, we develop a game-theoretic model that takes into account the possibilities of opportunism on the part of both the pledger and the pledgee as an investor in specific assets. The study demonstrates the consequences of the wrong hostage chosen, as well as the characteristics of the interaction equilibrium due to the correct choice of it with an indication of the residual opportunism problem. The research provides a rationale why the promisee and the potential purchaser of full rights to an asset acting as a hostage are not always the same actor. The approaches to dealing with credible commitments in the context of renegotiations and multilateral contracts are outlined. The research results can serve as a basis for designing contracts requiring reciprocal collateral.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89956457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory of the firm, the general theory of management and strategic management theory constitute the methodological basis of the study. The research methods are structural-logical analysis, comparative analysis, and matrixing. We distinguish between three industrial enterprise management methods, based on: (a) complex financial indicators, (b) a balanced scorecard, and (c) a system of continuous improvements. The results of comparative analysis allowed identifying high-potential methods of strategic management. We conclude that it is expedient to integrate various methods, which will level the shortcomings of each of them and, in some cases, help obtain a synergistic effect. The study proposes a mechanism for integrating a balanced scorecard with the Hoshin Kanri tools, which contributes to the development of strategic management theory. The mechanism can be of use for industrial enterprises when formulating their development strategy.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80313887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper looks at the role and development of human resource management in information technologies by employing bibliometric analysis of publications released in the period of 2001–2020 and aims to understand the interaction between the two fields. The methodological basis includes the concept of human resource management. In the article, the bibliometric methods were used, such as co-word, social network and keyword frequency analyses. The information basis of the study includes 562 articles indexed in Scopus database. The data obtained were processed using VOSviewer, Pajek and UCINET software. The 20-year period under study was divided into four periods of five years each to interpret the combination of methods, betweenness centrality and degree centrality values of the keywords for each period. Social network analysis findings reveal that sustainable HRM studies in the IT field are cohesive and connected, and appear to be building as an academic field. According to the research findings, human resource development, cloud computing, supply chain management, and job satisfaction are the most likely study fields in the future. Developments in the field of HRM provide a subjective assessment and interpretation of the emerging trends based on the quantitative approach and identify the existing research gaps, such as looking for an association between IT and sustainable HRM social effects.","PeriodicalId":42955,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets-The Manager","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91139341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
