Methodological basis of the study of labour efficiency management mechanism in the dairy and raw materials sub complex

Labour efficiency plays a significant role in solving the problem of increasing rates of economic growth and ensuring their sustainability. This issue is especially acute in the industry of dairy cattle breeding, which should be attributed to the first level of the state policy priorities in the field of food security and import substitution. Agrarian economic science and practice need to develop a methodological approach to the research aimed at improving the efficiency of functioning different categories of farms of the dairy and raw materials sub complex (DRSc) based on an increase in the labour efficiency level. To achieve this goal, the concept of labour efficiency management, the centerpiece of which is an organizational and economic mechanism, has been developed in the article. The conceptual model, built on the basis of well-known general scientific approaches, gives an idea of the composition of its main elements, united in blocks and reflecting the direction of formation, implementation and development of the mechanism of labour efficiency management in DRSc. The theoretical and methodological base of the presented concept (goal, objectives, principles and directions of the development strategy for labour efficiency management) has been supplemented and detailed, the priority directions for the development of DRSc in the production, economic and social fields have been concretized, and an algorithm for the implementation of the labour efficiency management mechanism based on the tasks set has been developed in the article. It is noted that the creation of an organizational and economic mechanism for managing labour efficiency should contribute to solving a complex of existing problems for unlocking the potential and identifying reserves for increasing labour efficiency in DRSc, pursuing an active policy of investing in human capital into the agricultural organizations aimed at increasing labour income, and, accordingly, improving the living standards of the rural population.
