AbstractThe main attributes of an organizations are characterized as open and dynamic social systems, able to develop individually. In essence, an organization is a social system with human capacity, beyond the means of production, essential to the formation, operation and development of an organization. Interactions between people and the connections between them are important in achieving the goal of the organization. The objectives of the organization must coincide with the goals of the organization’s leadership and meet the needs of those involved in the production system, so the level of connection between human capital and resources is essential. Human capital is the most important factor for the organization, it represents the accumulation of professional skills, combined with the creativity and initiative of each person, together generating essential resources to the organization and producing services and materials meant to generate profit. Each organization invests in forming and developing the human capital in order to create specialists in the industrial branches that the organization develops. Satisfaction with the basic needs of employees is an essential factor in the organization’s development. If this is not the case, the human capital can be destabilized slightly and can cause the state of crisis. Defeating human primordial needs can lead to an increase in the state of crisis of the organization, thus being able to evolve until the collapse of the organization.Human capital, in the event of a crisis, regardless of its nature, is the most important factor. The human factor decides how the crisis will be perceived and the means used to end the crisis.Knowing the human capital, the needs and especially the abilities of each employee can help the organization overcome a crisis moment easily and can solve an emergency without involving all the factors at its disposal.

The article outlines scientifi c approaches to the formation of digital technologies for managing the main factors of energy production. The assessment of the state of the production system is based on the index of the state of the production system of the power facility. Its target function is formulated, including dimensionless indices of fuel supply, the state of material and human capital assets. The author has formulated and solved the problem of finding the optimal values of a function using the mathematical apparatus of fuzzy sets. The indices characterizing the factors of production are defined as the solution of the optimization problem using ranking by values and weight coefficients determined by Saaty’s method. The determination of the fuel supply index and the technical condition of assets is carried out on the basis of the methods adopted in the energy sector, taking into account their actual state, provided that the reliability of the functioning of the UES is ensured. The article discusses in detail the technologies for assessing the company's human capital, shows the investment benefits of its development, presents the rational ranges of these investments, and provides statistical data that support the theoretical conclusions.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the factors on which the stability of the social order depends and to substantiate the expediency of its priority in the sphere of national security. The scientific novelty of the article is the justification of the interrelationship between national security and the stability of the social order in the need’s context to merge society around the goals that guarantee its security. Conclusions. The study shows that the sustainability of the social order ensures the existence and security of society and social institutions. We analyzed the axiological dimension of social order and sustainability through the disclosure of the social function of value orientation. We see them as the basis for the choice of action of the elements of social systems. In this context, we emphasized justifying the importance of a conceptual framework for its sustainability that considers the socio-cultural specificities of society and the values of the indivisible. We have shown that the main reason for the danger of social order and stability leading to the disintegration of society is the disparity of traditional values. They inform society of the ideological principles, program goals, and legal norms concerning its existence and the development of the State, which are determined by the highest political leadership. This makes it advisable to study the social system in question, its hierarchical levels, and their interrelationships. Hierarchical levels (moral, legal, conceptual) are described, their interrelationship is described, and it shows the category of sustainability to reflect the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the social order as a social system. Level – the quality (conflict-free) of its internal structuring. Emphasis has been placed on the desirability of distinguishing, at the conceptual level, the social order from the conceptual and ideological, and programmatic aspects this ensures that political decisions are made at the strategic level of public administration and that the strategic objectives of society, the means, and means of achieving them in national security, are justified. It has been established that the most effective means of destroying the State is to generate the prerequisites for threatening the stability of the social order, Therefore, the priority task of the actors of public administration and administration is to develop and implement a set of measures aimed at structuring and harmonizing principles, values and objectives at and between hierarchical levels of social order. We have identified basic prerequisites for the effectiveness of these measures, including mutually agreed goals, timetables, means, and methods of implementing strategies for socio-political and socio-economic development. Key words: social order, national security, public administration, social order and stability risks, value orientations, social order levels

Non Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations carry out activities that the state either does not want to perform or does not take responsibilities for them due to financial reasons, and the private sector is not interested in them. Specific features of such kind organizations is the fact that their performance is mostly depended on the work of a man – a volunteer, so a human capital is their integral part. Volunteering is a multidimensional phenomenon. It is an important part of the society and its future development. The context of volunteering has changed in last years, because social trends as globalization, technological development, changes in demography, emergence of postmodern values, and changes in families and work change people´s attitudes toward volunteering. In order a volunteer could realize his own personality and belief in volunteering activities and simultaneously participate in meeting goals of an organization, it is essential that all elements of management (organizing, managing, control, evaluating) are carried out effectively and have a meaning. To achieve this point, it is needed to know reasons, why people do volunteering that does not have only motivational sense, but also strategic one. Identifying motifs is therefore broader than just meeting needs and their knowledge is an essential factor for the effective functioning of non-profit organizations regardless of fields of their operation.

According to the position taken by the author of the article, the main condition for achieving systematic and effective measures to combat corruption is to bring them to the level of specific social systems (state power, education, health, science, culture, etc.). Although the problem of corruption is of national and even global importance, but the prevalence of general measures among anti-corruption practices is an obvious source of formalization, companionship and inefficiency. This position is linked in the article with the provision that a corruption is not a separate social system. At its core, a corruption of social institutions is a violation of their normal functioning and the production of results that are not suitable for society, including economic and social ones. The normality of the institutional functions implementation involves maintaining the necessary correspondence between the elements or institutions that make up the institution. They are divided into formal and informal institutions that have legal significance and do not have one. According to the author, it is due to the lack of the necessary correspondence between institutions in the institutional structure of specific social systems that the latter begin to systematically produce mass violations of formal norms, including corruption, to which the state and society respond first of all. At the same time, even more large-scale violations of norms that capture the micro-level of society remain in the shadows. In conclusion, the article highlights the main problem in the institutional ensuring anti-corruption. If formal norms are largely subjected to administrative influence, then the informal institutional space of the social system is formed culturally and historically and mainly by the forces of the public. Therefore, without the productive interaction of the state and society, which are the main forces that form the institutional structure, neither the necessary systemic institutional support in combating corruption, nor the desired and resulting consistency in this counteraction, is achievable.

Introduction. In the past, the wealth of a country was measured in gold and silver. Later, wealth started including means of production. Nowadays, the national wealth of a country includes three main components: natural capital, productive assets and human resources. The purpose of this paper is to highlight historical aspects of assessing the wealth of countries, identify its most important components in the modern world, and analyze of the interests of young people in Ukraine in learning. Results. The concept and composition of national wealth has undergone revision and transformation from the 18th century to the present day. Over time, in addition to gold, silver and means of production, human capital was added to its composition. Rich countries have a high share of produced and intangible assets compared to natural resources. The features of capital that are relevant to human capital, in contrast to human potential, are the ability to accumulate and generate income. For the emergence, as well as the productive functioning of human capital, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions. It is important to achieve a certain standard of living, have support of the state and non-state institutions, make available of modern and progressive knowledge and its effective transfer to the object of educational process, and create conditions for the preservation and development of human capital. Low wages in Ukraine are a primary cause of poverty. Since most European countries have a better standard of living and quality of life, many Ukrainians consider migration to be the only and the most reliable way to improve their lives. During 2015–2019, the share of young people who do not work, study or acquire professional skills amounted to about one sixth of the population aged 15–24. Conclusion. Lack of education and/or high skills of a worker does not affect the level of wages in the cross-country comparison, thus Ukrainian youth loses motivation to learn. The territorial proximity of some regions of our country to Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Romania and higher wages there create favorable conditions for labor migration of young people. This situation stresses the need for appropriate measures at the state level.

Modern Machine

Any modern machine-building enterprise is a complex system consisting of many organizational elements with clearly defined functions, boundaries and resources. The size of these resources determines the planned productivity of the enterprise. At the same time, an enterprise is a social system that has non-linear properties, since the human factor is involved. Therefore, situations are possible where even small beneficial changes in the nature of the interaction in the production system can cause a significant increase in productivity. However, situations are also possible when large transformations that consume significant resources do not lead to desired achievements or even worsen the existing state. This article discusses the application of process-oriented thinking in the practical work of an enterprise at all its levels.

The Social

THE STATE, IN THE STRONGEST MEANING OF THE WORD, IS NOT indispensable to the functioning of civil society. Indeed society can often so organize itself as to prevent the emergence of a state intent on establishing itself as an absolute power. The very existence of the state itself, the consequence of particular sociohistorical processes, upsets the whole of the social system which is henceforth ordered around it. The relationships between the nobility, the bourgeoisie, the working class or, today, the middle classes, differ profoundly according to whether these groups were confronted by a strongly institutionalized state or a centre which exercised essentially co-ordinating functions. Still today the political systems which have simultaneously a centre and a state (France) can be distinguished from those which have a weak state without a real centre (Italy) or a centre without a genuine state (Great Britain, the United States) or neither centre nor state (Switzerland). In the first two cases, in varying degrees, the state dominates and manages civil society; in the two latter, civil society manages itself. It is therefore possible to distinguish societies in which the state attempts to dominate the social system by endowing itself with a strong bureaucracy (ideal type: France; paralle development: Prussia, Spain, Italy) from those in which the organization of civil society makes it impossible for a powerful state and a powerful dominating bureaucracy to emerge (ideal type: Great Britain; parallel development: the United States and the consociational democracies like Switzerland). Without claiming to retrace methodically the history of each of these states or of their political centres, I should like to sketch a broad outline of their evolution with the object of showing that the different relations by which the many governing groups are linked together within the different social systems depend sometimes on the formation of the state and sometimes on the simple formation of a political centre.

History Of

In her analysis of books by Maya Kucherskaya, Olesya Nikolaeva, and Yulia Voznesenskaya, the author investigates the history of female Christian prose from the 1990s until the present day. According to the author, it was in the 1990s, the period of crisis and transformation of the social system, that female Christian writers were more vocal, than today, on the issues of the new post-Soviet female subjectivity, drawing on folklore imagery and contrasting the folk, pagan philosophy with the Christian one, defined by an established set of rules and limitations for the principal female roles. Thus, the folklore elements in Kucherskaya’s early works are considered as an attempt to represent female subjectivity. However, the author argues that, in their current work, Kucherskaya and other representatives of the so-called female Christian prose tend to choose different, objectivizing methods to represent female characters. This new and conservative approach may have come from a wider social context, including the state-imposed ‘family values’ program.
