Ontological Aspect

It is shown that as a result of the lack of synchronicity and balance between the virtual and real sectors of higher education, desynchronization of the ontology of education can occur. It is indicated that, in accordance with eco-nomictrends in the national higher system there can be a clear division into elite science-intensive high-tech competitive education and mass low-value low-tech “higher education” that is not in demand outside the national labor market.

This book examines headhunting—contingency recruiting—in the wake of two profound changes in the labor market. The first is the emergence and explosive rise of various forms of social media, most prominently LinkedIn, which have made information about employers, jobs, and job-seekers much more widely available. The second is the unraveling of internal labor markets and the fraying of the ties between employers and employees, which started in the 1980s and 1990s, and accelerated in the wake of the bursting of the dotcom bubble and the Great Recession. Both changes created the possibility that employers and candidates would be able to find each other without the benefit of labor-market intermediaries like headhunters. The book explains why headhunting survived these changes: employers still need headhunters to find good candidates quickly. In a high-tech world, it is relatively easy to find large numbers of apparently qualified prospective candidates. Headhunters, however, determine which of these prospects are truly viable candidates and they invest time and effort in converting prospects into candidates. They bring high-touch search to a high-tech labor market.

Conceptual Apparatus

The intensive introduction of modern high-tech tools into the production process of organizations of various types creates the need for high-class en-gineering personnel on the labor market. A trained engineering specialist is one of the important com-ponents of the economic stability of the enterprise, since the smoothness of the technical process and the prevention of risk situations associated with errors in the operation of technical equipment de-pends on him. The relevance of interest in engineer-ing professions and analysis of the features of relia-bility of engineering activities is due to the large social demand for the study of the psychological aspects of the labor of specialists-engineers, as well as the low development of this problem. The results of the performed theoretical analysis provide a basis for clarifying the conceptual apparatus of the pro-cess of studying the reliability of professional activi-ty in general, as well as for developing a new ap-proach to the analysis of the reliability of modern labor of an engineer.

The strategic directions of reforming the economy of Ukraine are analyzed. The author defines the main reasons for the existence of structural imbalances, including limited resources (material, intellectual, financial, investment, innovative); reduction of innovative production; high material and energy intensity of production; a high share of intermediate structure of GRP, which shows a limited production of goods and services with a high share of GVA; low development of innovation infrastructure. The paper proves that the real sector of the economy is in a state of deindustrialization and needs to restore technological, scientific, intellectual, and export capacity. As a result, the author has focused attention on the necessity of systemic reforms in a number of areas, which should become the basis for the dynamic socially-oriented development of Ukraine. The most important reforms include the technological modernization, reindustrialization, increase of high-tech exports, systemic de-shadowing and formation of a competitive environment, business development, expansion of the middle class, modernization of social security and investment attractiveness, development of strategic industries, domestic market development, resource sector growth, and energy efficiency. The structural results of reforming the economy of Ukraine are summarized and indicators that will represent the efficiency of changes in each of the reformed basic areas are identified. For example, the efficiency of the reforms implementation in the social sphere will be displayed by the growth of incomes and the level of life quality and well-being of the population. In the field of education, such results will be summarized by increasing the quality and competitiveness of education, its harmonization with the needs and demands of professionals in the labor market. In the field of healthcare, the changes will be displayed in the creation of a modern reformed health care system with a high level of quality and accessibility of medical services. The decrease of migration activity processes is defined as the main result of the development of the internal labor market.

Purpose This study aims to empirically identify the relationship between gender diversity and organizational leadership. Design/methodology/approach A multifactor questionnaire, Form 6-S, developed by Bass and Avolio (1992), is used to measure leadership. The results are derived from univariate and multivariate analyses conducted through ordinary least square linear regression. This study uses a base consisting of 142 small and medium enterprises in Cali (Colombia); men manage 111 of which, whereas women manage 31. The data came from a project performed by the Humanism and Management research group of the Administration Sciences Department of Valley University (Universidad del Valle). Fieldwork was conducted between November 2013 and April 2014. Findings The results show that companies with greater gender diversity (mostly women on the board of directors and in management) develop a transformational organizational style orientated towards organizational change through the transformation of followers. Originality/value There is no previous study combining these variables in Colombian context.
