Influence of the imperatives of new industrialization on the academic staffing strategies of Belarusian universities

The article provides an analysis of staffing strategies in the context of the transformation of Belarusian universities. An attempt is made to assess the possibility of introducing effective academic contracts as the basis for the formation of personnel strategies. It has been substantiated that in the academic environment of Belarus, in general, the requirements of an effective contract are not fulfilled, although there are types of scientific and methodological activities that a contract involves. It is proved that the academic activity in Belarus is determined by the age of teachers and the presence of their academic degree. These factors are decisive in the models of labor behavior of university teachers. Involvement in the academic environment for teachers is related to their material interest. It is concluded that the Belarusian academic environment is making the first attempts to form new models of labor behavior, allowing the higher education system to be transformed to introduce effective academic contracts.
