Efficiency, optimization, speed and timeliness have always played a decisive role in logistics and supply chain management. Covid-19 has triggered supply chain disruptions, increased logistics costs and decreased productivity. The purpose of the article is to show the role of new digital solutions and modern information technologies in the digitalization of labor activity in the field of logistics as a key factor in reducing and neutralizing negative trends. The objectives of the study are to identify tendencies and trends in the use of digital solutions (as one of the aspects of the fourth industrial revolution) to increase labor productivity and efficiency of logistics activities in the postpandemic period. The promising areas of application of digital technologies in logistics for increasing labor productivity, eliminating existing gaps in the management of logistics systems, as well as overcoming the consequences of the pandemic, have been identified. Funding: The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-010-00877.
Purpose: The paper deals with the analysis of the influence of interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation on regional labor productivity. Design/Methodology/Approach: Empirical analysis was conducted on the statistical data collected from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The sample includes data on 85 subjects of the Russian Federation for the period 2011-2016. The study substantiates the impact of interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation on regional labor productivity and to form the tools for managing migration processes, ensuring its improvement. Findings: The study showed that interregional differences in wages, the differentiation of the characteristics of labor markets in the region of residence and the potential region of employment, different transport accessibility and additional employee costs associated with staying in another region are the main economic reasons for interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation. The regression analysis confirmed hypotheses that higher level of labor migration from the region leads to a decrease in labor productivity in the region. Practical Implications: Based on the empirically derived relationships, authors created a set of tools for managing migration processes, ensuring their improvement, which can be used for the development of program documents at the regional and interregional levels. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this study is the combination of deep statistical analysis and migration factors' analysis to provide valuable conclusions in interregional labor migrations.
The study analyses the impact of information and communications technologies provision for labor resources (ICTPLR) on the productivity of employees. We used formal logical and heuristic research methods to solve the problem of component and factor analysis of ICTPLR, including classification and typology, induction and deduction, proof, comparison, analysis and synthesis. As a result, we substantiated that it is advisable to group ICTPLR indicators in the context of the following components: social, economic, software and hardware, and consumer. We proposed to analyze ICTPLR of an enterprise or a region in relation to two aspects of assessment: the first is the digitalization level of the labor activity of economic entities; the second is the level of knowledge and competence of employees in the field of information and communications technologies (ICT). Inconsistency between these two aspects can lead to excessive ICT provision and inefficient digitalization costs. Insufficient level of ICT provision or other imbalances negatively affect the productivity of employees, which requires corrective management decisions. A formula for calculating the dynamic labor productivity determined by the influence of ICTPLR is proposed. The study substantiated that the increase in ICTPLR, which is not accompanied by outstripping growth in revenue from the sale of goods, works, services or corresponding decrease in the number of employees, leads to decrease in labor productivity.
This article analyzes the impact of the pandemic on labor productivity in a digital economy. The pandemic forced employers to transfer some of their employees to remote work, but this process has an ambiguous effect on both labor productivity and the state of the labor market as a whole. The purpose of this article is to answer the question of what is the dynamics of labor productivity in the conditions of "remote employment", and what are the possibilities of employers to influence labor productivity in various sectors of the economy, are both personnel and employers ready for remote work. To answer the questions posed, the authors studied the opinion of heads of organizations and official sources of statistical information.
