Features of labor motivation of agro-industrial complex managers

Abstract

In any branch of the agro-industrial complex, a special role is played by the management team. The success of an agro-industrial enterprise depends largely on the level of motivation of its head, as he forms and directs the work of subordinate personnel. Despite extensive theoretical and practical research in the field of labor motivation, these studies lack an industry-specific approach that takes into account the specifics of the labor activity of managers of the agro-industrial sector of production. The object of the study was 30 managers of various experimental production farms in the Rostov region. During the empirical study, two test methods were used: “career Anchors” (E. Shane) and “Motivational profile” (S. Ritchie and P. Martin), as well as the author’s projective questionnaire. The practical significance of the work consists in scientifically-based recommendations developed based on the analysis of the results of the study. These recommendations can be taken into account by managers and employees of personnel services of enterprises in the agro-industrial area when forming systems of motivation and development of higher needs for employees who hold senior positions in modern market conditions.

Coping strategies of the leaders of the agro-industrial complex of the Rostov Region

“…The leaders from the second group are dominated by the values on the scales: "reflexive overcoming" (30), "preventive overcoming" (25) and "proactive overcoming" (34). Among the leaders of the third group, values prevail on the scales: "proactive overcoming" (43), "reflexive overcoming" (29) and "seeking emotional support" (12).…”

“…In overcoming difficult situations, an important role is played by the internal resources of the individual. Such as the locus of control, which determines the degree of acceptance of responsibility in confronting life's problems; reflexive ability helps a person concentrate on a problem to choose the best solution; persistence, social courage, high achievement motivation and normative behavior, which help in overcoming fears and doubts [11,12].…”

“…The specifics of the labor activity of the head of the agro-industrial complex requires him to have certain personal qualities, such as purposefulness, organization, entrepreneurial and professional activity, social and professional mobility, sociability and the ability to cooperate, creative approach, aesthetic sensitivity, special, socio-legal and auto competence, professional self-awareness. One of the conditions for the successful development of professional personal qualities of a leader is the development of higher needs and the implementation of the necessary coping strategies [11,12,13,14,15].…”
