Labor potential of agricultural industrial organizations of the Orel region: factors and conditions of its formation

The purpose of the research is to identify the factors and conditions for the formation and effective use of labor potential in agricultural organizations in the region. The subject of the study is the labor potential of agricultural organizations and its characteristics. The study of the problem was carried out on materials from agricultural organizations in the Orel region, using statistical materials and consolidated annual reports of agricultural organizations. During the research, monographic, economic-statistical, calculation-constructive and other methods were used. Research has shown that in the modern economy, labor potential determines the competitiveness of an organization and is a strategic resource. Planning of labor potential requires taking into account its quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The basis for the formation of labor potential and its effective use is a combination of demographic, social and economic factors that influence the development of rural areas. An analysis of the main indicators of the demographic situation showed that for the period from 2019 to 2023. The population of the region decreased by 39.2 thousand people or 5.3%, which resulted in a decrease in the working-age population. The rural population in 2023 amounted to 233.8 thousand people or 33.4% of the total population. The share of the working-age rural population in the total rural population is 52%. Agricultural organizations employed 16.0 thousand people in 2022, which is 8.1% of the total number of workers in the regional economy. There is an increase in the level of labor intensity and an increase in the efficiency of using labor potential. The effectiveness of using labor potential is significantly influenced by social and psychological factors: the psychological climate in the team, the nature of interpersonal relationships, etc. It is impossible not to note the importance of internal and external environmental factors that influence the labor potential of the organization. All of the above factors must be taken into account in the process of forming a labor potential management system.
