Methodological Aspects of Diagnostics of the Social and Economic Climate of Enterprises

In the conditions of a socially oriented economy, the safe social and economic climate of an enterprise is of particular importance as it is identified with one of the most important indicators of competitiveness and/or rating assessment of an economic entity. Meanwhile, sociological polls of hired workers revealed some discrepancies in the interpretation of the definition of the social and economic climate of an enterprise and, respectively, in the list of the parameters associated with it. Relying on the essence of the categories “quality of labor life” and “quality of employment” for the diagnostics of the social and economic climate of the enterprise, it is proposed to use a compiled definition “quality of social and economic conditions of labor life”, which accumulates parameters of decent work. The article presents an original technique of the functional analysis of the quality of social and economic conditions of labor life. The technique aims to identify the extent of the implementation of the reproducing and stimulating functions of this quality. The article emphasizes the diversified purpose of the technique: monitoring of the quality of social and economic conditions of personnel's labor life and, respectively, the social and economic climate of the enterprise; prioritizing of parameters of a decent quality of social and economic conditions of labor life, substantiation of recommendations on managing the quality of social and economic conditions of labor life. On illustrative examples, stages of the technique's implementation are illustrated. The final part of the article presents and analyzes the results of a pilot approbation of the technique. The results confirmed the technique's adequacy to the purpose and proved the legitimacy of its replication in relevant editions.
