Training Of Personnel

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of legal regulation of training for the sphere of recreation and sports tourism and evaluation of the quality and knowledge level. The author presents the scheme of functioning of system of training, retraining and advanced training of personnel for the sphere of recreation and sports tourism. He shows the mechanisms of interaction between the system of training, retraining and skills development with community employers through professional accreditation and professional standards in the training system. Such mechanisms could include joint community participation of employers and developers of basic and additional professional educational programs in the preparation and implementation of professional standards, community participation of employers in the formation of the main and additional professional educational programs with the requirements of professional standards, independent assessment of quality of graduates in terms of carrying out the state final certification public accreditation of associations of employers. The author describes the features of state and public accreditation. There is also the urgency of the implementation of public accreditation system of training, retraining and advanced training of personnel for the sphere of recreation and sports tourism. There is presented the analysis of normative legal acts determining the categories of personnel for the sphere of recreation and sport tourism, and the contradictions in the regulatory legal acts indicating a lack of common understanding of the professions of recreation and sport tourism. The author proposes priority measures of improving the system of training, retraining and advanced training of personnel for the sphere of recreation and sport tourism from the viewpoint of improvement of normative-legal acts.

This article analyzes the use of human capital theory as applied to the youth labor market. A model of the interaction of social actors in the labor market of the Russian Federation is given. The article considers the concept of the youth potential and its components. Within the framework of this model the orientation of young job seekers to develop their potential for high economic benefi ts is required, while employers are involved in activities on the professional socialization of students and graduates in order to develop human capital and training of mobile professionals with a high level of professional and general cultural competence. The value of the proposed model is associated with the development of common cultural and professional competences. The model refl ects the economic behavior, characteristic of the young students and graduates, who receive higher professional education. This model is not the main but additional way to explain human behavior in the fi eld of employment, based on the conceptual and methodological basis of economic sociology.

Management Scholarship

Barney’s presentation of the resource-based view (RBV) profoundly shaped the trajectory of management scholarship. This article considers the RBV’s impact specifically on the field of strategic human capital resources. Although Barney is still highly relevant, I suggest that research has not sufficiently appreciated the role that individual and collective performance behavior and outcomes play in linking human capital resources to competitive advantage. An alternative, what might be called RBV2.0, posits that research needs to recognize that human capital resources are distinct from performance behavior and outcomes. Such an observation raises the question, “Resources for what?” Answering this question leads to several important insights. First, a given type of human capital resource is only important to the extent it is related to performance behavior and outcomes that contribute to competitive advantage. Second, performance behavior is largely strategy-specific and thus firm-specific. Third, firm specificity is not a characteristic of human capital resources but rather a function of the proximity of the resource to firm-specific performance behavior and outcomes. Consequently, “Performance” is the answer to the question, “Resources for what?” This emphasis on understanding human capital resource-performance relationships adds considerable precision into the RBV, helps resolve puzzles in the strategic human capital literature relating to firm specificity and performance mobility, and promotes a deeper understanding hiding latent within Barney’s original view.

Returning To School

Scholarship on adult education throughout the life course focuses on the relationship between education and upward mobility. Scholars rarely examine how adults’ educational aspirations or trajectories are affected by downward mobility or an increasingly precarious labor market. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with 21 job seekers in the post–Great Recession labor market in the United States, this article advances the concept of educational downgrading: returning to school in pursuit of a credential lower than the highest level of education one previously sought or attained. We explore three pathways to downgrading connected to downward mobility: occupational dead ends, career reversals, and educational inflation. In the process, we highlight how individuals adjust their practical educational aspirations as they navigate a contemporary economy in which careers are unstable and credentials are needed for many kinds of jobs across the occupational hierarchy.

Racial disparities persist throughout the employment process, with African Americans experiencing significant barriers compared to whites. This article advances the understanding of racial labor market stratification by bringing new theoretical insights and original data to bear on the ways social networks shape racial disparities in employment opportunities. We develop and articulate two pathways through which networks may perpetuate racial inequality in the labor market: network access and network returns. In the first case, African American job seekers may receive fewer job leads through their social networks than white job seekers, limiting their access to employment opportunities. In the second case, black and white job seekers may utilize their social networks at similar rates, but their networks may differ in effectiveness. Our data, with detailed information about both job applications and job offers, provide the unique ability to adjudicate between these processes. We find evidence that black and white job seekers utilize their networks at similar rates, but network-based methods are less likely to lead to job offers for African Americans. We then theoretically develop and empirically test two mechanisms that may explain these differential returns: network placement and network mobilization. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for scholarship on racial stratification and social networks in the job search process.
