SALARY AS MOTIVATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Abstract
The development of the labor market in Ukraine is taking place under extremely complicated demographic, socio-economic, political and environmental conditions. Currently, only 45% of the country's employment potential generates official gross product to provide to the unemployed, the retired, the householders, and the upbringing of children, sick, children, students and others. This situation prompts exploration and formation of mechanisms that motivate employment. The goal of this scientific work is to specify methodological approaches and evaluate salary as main motivation for employment. The object is the usage and motivation of Ukrainian enterprises` employees. The subject of this study is a combination of theoretical, methodological and practical problems of motivation assessing for work and salary. In the course of the study classical approaches to defining the concept of “motivation” were characterized and attention was paid to the importance of the incentive of material rewards. Employment dynamics of the population of Ukraine and the EU countries for 2014-2018 is displayed. The relationship between gross domestic product per capita and the level of minimal salary in Ukraine and in some countries of the world has been demonstrated. A comparative assessment of officially established level of minimal salary of equal employee representatives with the international standards of the International Labor Organization, the UN, the World Bank, the EU is made. The dynamics of the average monthly nominal salary of full-time employees according to economic activities in Ukraine is analyzed. By the sociological surveys method the level of the desired average monthly salary of workers in Ukraine by age, sex, regional by region in 2018 and 2019 were determined. Determined that a higher level of gross domestic product per capita in the country provides a higher level of the official minimal salary, better social protection and reproduction of the workforce. Low financial resources of the state and employers are holding back wage growth as a major motivating factor for work and workforce reproduction. The state's intervention in the field of material motivation of work by establishment of a minimum salary and regulating employment and unemployment is justified. A further perspective of research in this area should be the formation of a national model of emloyment motivation - the concept of complex, systemic motivation based on employment growth, bringing basic social standards in the fields of fiscal policy, salary, to international standards, formation of a strong middle class and ensuring stable development.
