In this paper, we propose an invariant system of factors for the organizational structure of activities in all spheres of society's life in order to systematize new organizational factors that arise during the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" and other national development programs of Russia until 2024, integrated with it. The proposed invariant system of organizational factors in society is based on the results of the analysis of organizational concepts in the system of social sciences. The article examines the nature and mechanisms of its development. In the invariant system of organizational factors in society, four groups of antinomian factors are defined, each of which can enter into antinomy relations with any other group of antinomian factors. These groups of antinomian factors are formed, firstly, in equipment and nature, secondly, in culture and art, thirdly, in economics and politics, fourthly, in science and religion. Equipment and nature give rise to give rise to a group of conditioning factors, since these factors determine the means of activity. Culture and art generate determinants factors, as these factors determine the way one operates. Economics and politics give rise to executing factors, since these factors determine the technology of activity. Finally, science and religion give rise to setting factors, as they determine the methodology of activity. For organizational construction and implementation of activities in society, it is required to establish a continuous simultaneous antinomian correspondence between each pair of groups of antinomy organizational factors and ensure their same continuous and simultaneous synthesis. This synthesis is carried out in people or through people who form society, turning them into a living social organization of the continuous implementation of society's activities, which forms its structure. In accordance with this representation of an invariant system of organizational factors in society, we consider and systematize new factors of organizational design of modern enterprises, institutions and organizations, which are formed in the course of the comprehensive implementation of thirteen national programs. It turns out that the comprehensive implementation of all federal projects of these national programs forms a fundamentally new content of the structure of the invariant system of organizational factors in society, which is characterized by the appearance of imbalances in the structure. This creates for all enterprises, institutions and organizations a constantly accelerating actualization of the problem of their organizational designing. The problem of design organizational research is substantiated as a task of operational organizational modeling for the purpose of operational construction of relevant organizational models, which in turn provide the same operational organizational design of the current activities of enterprises, institutions and organizations. It is concluded that it is necessary to formulate new methodological principles for applying the methodology of a systematic approach to solving these research problems.

Digitalization in cities – often branded as smart city (SC) transition – carry the potential for highly inclusive, evidence-based decision making in urban planning, responding to the increasing pressures cities face. However, investments have thus far been slower to deliver the expected impacts. Thus, the attention of the discourse is turning towards organizational structures addressing complexity, scalability, and procedural challenges of SC transition. Given such turn has regime-challenging implications, there is a need for practice-based research in the niches of SC transition, supporting policymaking inductively. This study outlines the barriers inherent in conventional organizational models (public sector, private-supplier, and academic-professional) to SC transition, and makes a case for alternative models. The barriers are retrieved through an extensive literature review, and a series of focus groups with key stakeholders involved in SC transition, and processed as a design problem for a new organizational model. The final design is a nested platform model based on open innovation and a lean approach to urban planning. The paper concludes with a proof of concept to overcome organizational barriers, validated by the stakeholder focus groups.

The meat industry is strategically important sector of Ukraine national economy due to its role in providing the country food security as well as its entering into international markets. The problem of research is connected with the need of meat industry in a new vision of management principles, organizational design and internal interaction mechanism as well as the changing development motivation. The aim of the research is the substantiation of the meat industry organizational structure development based on different models of vertical integration. The research methodology supposes the use of statistical analysis, the logical model construction, monographic analysis, the method of expert appraisals. As the study results, five organizational models have been proposed for vertical integration in meat industry (contracting, corporation, holding, cluster and a vertical marketing system). The models’ advantages and the ways of their development as well as the problem points and the possibilities to overcome them have been specified. The role of vertical integration in the creation of value-added products has been discovered.

Care leave applications in Dutch workplaces Care leave applications in Dutch workplaces A substantial number of people combine work and care in the Netherlands and Dutch law entitles employees to take short-term and long-term care leave if necessary. Although most employers are willing to honor care leave requests, workers make only limited use of this possibility. There is relatively little known in the literature about how organizational and work-related factors influence applying for care leave within organizations. To answer this question, we use the Labor Demand Panel [Arbeidsvraagpanel] 2011 by the Dutch Social and Cultural Planning Office [SCP]. Multiple regression analyses show that at the level of work autonomy and part-time work at the organization substitute the need for care leave. Care-friendly organizational culture and employee representation facilitate applying for care-leave, while possible barriers for applications (such as high workload and economic problems within the organization) have little impact on applying for care leave. Applying for long-term leave is scantly influenced by organizational factors, although having a works council facilitates applying for this leave option as well. We conclude emphasizing the importance of self-organization and care-friendly organizational design for informal caretakers.

Governance Processes

An organizational approach to public governance focuses on the organizational architecture of public organizations and contributes to explaining governance processes by the organizational characteristics of such organizations. The dependent variable “public governance” is defined as the process through which the steering of society takes place. Such steering of society can unfold directly (“governance”) as well as indirectly (“meta-governance”), the latter denoting the process of organizing the apparatus within which governance happens. Governance is not only about making formal decisions, but also about agenda setting, development of alternative policy directions, implementation, and learning. In practice, it is about hammering out legislation, budgets, policy programs, and law application (“governance”), as well as organizing, staffing, and locating the machinery of government (“meta-governance”). Organization structure, organization demography, and organization locus make up the key independent variables. Such a partial model is not thought to provide a full account of what happens in governance processes, but the organizational factors are expected to intervene and bias governance processes systematically and significantly. Since these factors are, arguably, relatively amenable to deliberate change, they constitute at the same time potential design tools. However, rational organizational design also depends on knowledge about the conditions under which the organizational factors themselves may be changed (“meta-governance”). Knowledge about these two relationships is, arguably, ultimately a prerequisite for (rational) organizational design. Public organization literature has largely neglected theorizing meta-governance and conditions for institutional (re)design. Organizational factors may influence meta-governance in two ways: first, existing organization structures, demographics, and locations may affect reform processes; secondly, reform processes themselves may be deliberately organized on a temporary basis to achieve particular goals. Organization theory is helpful in dissecting how different ways of organizing reform processes may produce different reform trajectories and outcomes. The idea sees reform processes as decision-making processes that allocate attention, resources, capabilities, roles, and identities. Reform organizations have structures, demographics, and locations that distribute rights and obligations, power and resources, and normally do so unevenly. Yet, when considering organizational (re-)design, its limitations should be considered as well. Organizational designers might benefit from being aware of the potential stickiness of existing organizational arrangements and the influence of environmental demands, as well as temporal sorting of events. Moreover, the limits to design are greater in complex organizational orders with nested rules such as in nation states, meta-organizations, and supranational institutions such as the European Union, than in single organizations such as government ministries and agencies.

The concept of job satisfaction, which is most often defined as a satisfactory or positive emotional state that arises as a result of evaluating work or work experience, is one of the most important and most researched employee work-related issues. The relevance of the observed concept is the result of the belief that any changes in the level of job satisfaction have numerous positive, but also negative consequences, both for the individual and for the organization. In addition to the demographic or personal characteristics of employees, the cause of changes in the level of job satisfaction may be the related to the organizational elements through which the work environment is shaped. As the demographic characteristics of employees cannot be greatly influenced, the attention of researchers is usually focused on a group of organizational factors or characteristics. Precisely for that reason, the research problem presented in this paper is the influence of the process in the organization on job satisfaction in various organizations operating in the Republic of Srpska. The main goal of this paper is to investigate and determine the existence and nature of the relationship between defined process factors in the organization as independent variables and their impact on job satisfaction as dependent variables. In order to investigate the observed impact and prove the set hypotheses, an empirical research was conducted, using a custom-made survey questionnaire, on a sample of 738 workers employed in 283 organizations from the Republic of Srpska. Reliability analysis, expressed by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, shows a very high reliability of the developed instrument for testing satisfaction with organizational design. Testing of the set hypothesis was performed using correlation analysis, and the obtained results confirmed the hypothesis which claims that the processes in the organization affect job satisfaction.

Organizational Approach

This chapter launches a general organizational approach to public governance. It outlines key theoretical dimensions that cut across governance structures and processes horizontally as well as vertically, thus paving the way for integrating separate empirical analyses into a coherent theoretical whole. Moreover, the organizational (independent) variables outlined represent classical dimensions in the organization literature that are generic in character. This allows for generalizations across time and space. The chapter also highlights the potential for organizational design that follows from our approach. By building systematic knowledge on how organizational factors shape governance processes on the one hand, and how organizational factors themselves might be deliberately changed on the other, the chapter offers a framework for developing a knowledge base for organizational design.

Emerging Themes

Purpose – The purpose of this study/paper is to highlight emerging themes in CRE capabilities and organizational models. The authors explain a Lean Six Sigma-based staffing optimization and integration methodology which ensures organizational design is aligned with enterprise requirements. The ultimate objective is a CRE organizational model that sets resourcing requirements for years ahead while yielding innovative new savings. These priorities set an archetypical precedent for emerging organizational models. The emerging organizational blueprint demonstrates a clear move away from the traditional CRE model by optimizing functional service delivery toward a model that drives business integration, strategy development and creative solution deployment. Design/methodology/approach – Throughout numerous assessments of corporate CRE organizations in the past year, the authors have witnessed emerging themes in CRE priorities and the capabilities required for achieving those priorities. The authors have utilized a Lean Six Sigma-based staffing optimization and integration methodology which ensures that organizational design is aligned with enterprise requirements. Findings – Whereas previous models were built to emphasize functional service delivery, the emerging model is structured to enable a core team to focus on developing strategic relationships and delivering strategic solutions. Functional service delivery is managed directly through a strategic partnership with an outsourced service provider. The emerging model suggests a small, centralized core leadership team. Careful governance and communication protocols must be developed to ensure the duplication and redundancy does not become an issue. Originality/value – Lean Six Sigma has evolved into a business improvement system that has taken hold within many high-performing real estate and facility services – a methodology that emerged from mechanized manufacturing might seem ill-adapted to CRE organizational development. Yet, with guided implementation and disciplined use, we have observed that Lean Six Sigma yields high-impact results in service environments and even with non-technical areas like organization design. This is a unique vantage point that combines engineering technicality against cultural aspects of organizational development.

The development of the public administration system in Ukraine is taking place in conditions of dynamic changes. Therewith, the rapid pace of innovative socio-political changes proposed by powerful political players in the modern world and domestic representatives of the local authorities, challenges the ability of people to adapt to new social circumstances. Given the urgency of improving the quality of public administration, there is a need to create an effective civil service. The study defines the theoretical and methodological principles of modern national development towards its improvement and the functioning of public authorities. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the essence of modern national development to improve the functioning of public authorities, the conditionality of socio-political, technological development of the country, the role of decentralisation in management. The study addresses issues related to the updating of the content of public service activities in the context of interaction between government and society. The task of the civil service is to implement a purposeful public policy. Unfortunately, in the current era, its implementation in practice may face certain difficulties. The study analyses the current state of modernisation of society and the governing bodies and provides recommendations for improving the mechanisms of decentralisation of power by civil service personnel. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the relevant issue of the modern Ukraine lies with the improvement of the legal regulation of the civil service in the context that the bureaucratisation of professional activities reduces the quality of the management process

Organizational Approach

Political science is often criticized for being insufficiently relevant for coping with governance challenges of our time. This book aims to fill this void by launching a general organizational approach to public governance. To achieve this, the book outlines key theoretical dimensions that cut across governance structures and processes horizontally as well as vertically, thus paving the way for integrating separate empirical analyses into a coherent theoretical whole. Moreover, the organizational (independent) variables outlined in this book represent classical dimensions in the organization literature that are generic in character. This allows for generalizations across time and space. The volume addresses how organizational characteristics of the governmental apparatus (within international organizations, the European Union, national governments, and sub-governments) systematically enable, constrain, and shape public governance processes, thus making some policy choices more likely than others. The second ambition of the volume is to focus on (organizational) design implications: By building systematic knowledge on how organizational factors shape governance processes on the one hand, and how organizational factors themselves might be deliberately changed on the other, the book offers a knowledge base for organizational design.

The crisis of modern competitiveness model of Russian economy, particularly acute after the introduction of financial and technological sanctions, requires the search for new concepts of long-term development. In accordance with the basic laws of dialectics, this task can be solved only on the basis of historical experience. The article provides a retrospective analysis of Russian models of national development, the features of which must be critically interpreted. To achieve this goal, the work identifies positive and negative characteristics of the Russian experience in improving the competitiveness of the economy in the years 1820–1991. The author offers recommendations concerning the formation of a new model of the Russian economy’s development on the basis of ensuring national self-sufficiency. The results of the work can be used in elaborating national programs for long-term development of the economy. Among the basic elements it is necessary to highlight the priority development of industry based on cluster approach, ensuring the import independence of the economy and ample beneficial use of national resources.
