Approaches to management and assessment of the level of labor efficiency in agriculture

The purpose of the work is to substantiate approaches and develop proposals for the management and evaluation of labor efficiency in agriculture, taking into account the specifics of the industry and based on a system of evaluation indicators. The subject of the study is labor efficiency in agriculture. The study of the problem was carried out on the materials of agricultural organizations of the Orel region, using the following methods: system analysis, abstract and logical, monographic, economic-statistical, correlation-regression analysis, comparison methods. The studies have shown that labor efficiency is a social and economic category that determines the degree of achievement of the set goal (desired effect), correlated with the degree of use of available resources. According to the scientific research, when evaluating the effectiveness of agricultural labor, one should talk about a multi-level system of its meters, which is formed from quantitative and qualitative evaluation criteria. The main role in the evaluation of labor activity belongs to indicators of labor productivity. The dynamics of the level of labor productivity, determined by the proceeds from the sale of products and profit from sales in the agricultural organizations of the region, over a five-year period shows a steady growth trend. For every ruble spent on wages, there are 7-10 rubles of proceeds from the sale of products. To determine the factors affecting the productivity of agricultural labor in agricultural organizations of the Orel region, a multiple correlation-regression analysis was carried out. The results indicate that there is a direct relationship between productivity and wages, the higher the wage, the higher labor productivity indicator. This is one of the methods of motivating the work of employees. Effective material motivation leads to an increase in labor productivity, and the latter, in turn, allows the heads of organizations to achieve a greater volume of production without expanding the staff. The labor productivity management system should include: identification of factors that determine the level of labor productivity in the organization; an objective assessment of labor productivity using a system of indicators; management of the quality and intensity of labor; labor motivation; development and implementation of measures to increase labor productivity.
