ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTING A PIECE-RATE FORM OF PAY AT THE INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT

The paper considers the conditions of expediency of using the piece-rate form of pay in the modern industrial environment. The necessity to ensure implementation of the motivational and stimulating role of the pay system is noted, as both business efficiency and employee motivation depend on this choice. The extensive use of piece-rate form of pay at industrial enterprises is related to its proven advantages, the main of which is the obvious relationship between production output and wages. This stimulates to increase individual employee productivity rate and efficiency the production system as a whole. The reason for the piece-rate form of pay to be promising to consist in its flexibility and ability to transform depending on the specifics of production environment and conditions of labour organization. Emphasized that despite mentioned advantages, implementation of piece-rate form of pay has its own certain limitations and risks. Specifically, it does not natively support accounting for a quality parameters of production, may lead to violation of production process synchronicity requirement and omit compliance to the norms of material consumption. Is determined that while choosing forms and systems of pay, it should be clearly understood that the development of an effective such system for successful monetary motivation of employees at the enterprise environment is an extremely complex task and depends on multiple factors, even if we take into consideration industrial enterprises only.

The Relationship

AbstractExisting research suggests that leaders/supervisors are the major persons in work organizations to promote employee perception of job significance, which is an intrinsic motivator for employee productivity. However, the literature remains unclear on the relationship between workplace friendship and perceived job significance. Results from a survey of 290 Taiwanese employees indicated that workplace friendship enhanced perceived job significance, and such enhancement did not vary across organizational levels. Our findings suggest intrinsically motivating employees through workplace friendship, which extends extant literature on work role of leaders/supervisors in employee motivation. Further, although lower organizational levels have a disadvantage of objectively less job significance in work organizations, our findings suggest workplace friendship is an effective factor in promoting employee perception of job significance. Thus, organizations can embed the mechanism of workplace friendship into the factors of job design to promote employees' intrinsic motivation and thus job and organizational productivity.

Introduction. The aim of the study is to develop the basic principles for digitalization of the processes of providing the diagnostics and repair of agricultural machinery. Materials and Methods. The specifics of agricultural machinery functioning are work in worst-on-worst operating conditions, such as significant abrasive contamination (soil particles, dust and other substances), operation in the conditions of exposure to natural climatic conditions, intensive use during the work shift and other factors that result in a regular need for testing and repairing. These factors significantly extend the time of maintenance and repair works. The study of the information environment for planning the distribution of agricultural machinery by repair enterprises has showed that the methods of this activity are not sufficiently developed. The authors propose a solution to the problem of rational distribution of agricultural machinery for repair and rehabilitation. Results. This article describes the main principles for developing structural relationships of databases used to find rational solutions for organizing repair and rehabilitation of agricultural machinery. Due to the fact that the solution of such a problem is time-consuming and is carried out under conditions that dynamically change over time, a mathematical model for the production environment of repair organizations is proposed, which is implemented by means of computer technology. The requirements for models describing the state of the production system of repair organizations are defined. A model of a generalized production system is proposed. Discussion and Conclusion. The model developed by the authors allows increasing the automation level of processes of distributing agricultural machinery by repair enterprises. The implementation of a new approach to planning repair works and distributing repairable agricultural machinery by repair enterprises will increase the efficiency of repair works, improve their quality parameters, reduce time, and optimize the structure of technological equipment of repair enterprises.

Dill seed production was investigated over two seasons, comprising a spring growing cycle (SGC) and an autumn growing cycle (AGC). The effects of growing cycle on phenological traits, yield and quality of dill seeds formed on different umbels of the mother plant were investigated. Significant differences were noted in the flowering period, seed yield and quality parameters. The SGC resulted in a shorter time from sowing to bolting and flowering initiation compared with the AGC. Plant height, number of umbels/plant, number of umbelets/umbel, umbel diameter, umbel length and seed weight/plant increased in the AGC. In contrast, decreased germination at 20/30°C and at 13°C, and increased mean germination time at 20/30°C in AGC indicated lower seed quality compared with SGC. Primary umbels produced the best yield and higher quality seeds, followed by the secondary umbels while tertiary umbels gave poor yield and quality seeds in both SGC and AGC. In conclusion, AGC was advisable for higher seed yield, but SGC resulted in higher seed quality compared with the AGC. This highlights the need to select a suitable growing cycle to guarantee high seed yield and quality for each seed production environment.

Employee Attendance

According to John Adams’ equity theory for employee motivation, employees place great importance on relative effort or input to its outcomes at the work place. However, as actual employee productivity is often difficult to estimate, anecdotal evidence suggests that employees frequently tend to compare the average number of hours worked per day. Geographically distributed or mobile workforces are of particular interest because such employees may not easily be able to physically observe their co-workers and, thus, estimate their relative effort. Instant Messaging (IM) has recently been adopted in many workplaces; yet, research on potential effects that IM presence awareness feature may have on employee attendance in a distributed workforce is virtually non-existent. This paper bridges that gap in the literature by presenting relevant findings, which have been derived from a 12-month-long ethnographic study of a large professional services organization. The authors show that, depending on the relative employee power relationship, presence awareness information may have significant positive or negative effects on a range of employee attendance dimensions.

The results of the functioning of banks of various types of ownership show that one of the main components of their successful development is the professionalism and motivation of the bank employees themselves. To achieve a defined goal, work incentives should be a systematic, purposeful influence on a person or group of people in order to motivate them to increase working activity and improve job performance. The incentive system itself should be determined for banks based on its capabilities, goals and level of professionalism of managers. Depending on the banks ownership type, the issue of motivation and stimulation of professional activity of employees has its own characteristics, and the approach to creating an effective system of motivation and incentives should take into account many factors, most of which are constantly changing. The analysis of the functioning of collectively owned banks showed a number of shortcomings in the system of motivation and stimulation of professional activity of employees. The following possible problems of motivation and stimulation of staff in the collectively owned bank are identified: lack of individual approach to training and promotion, low salary, uneven workload during the day, lack of self-realization, protectionism in career advancement. These shortcomings directly affect the efficiency of collectively owned banks. Taking into account the identified shortcomings in the article, recommendations were developed to increase the efficiency of the incentive system for collectively owned banks staff. The system of staff motivation should be aimed at improving business efficiency by increasing employee productivity. Properly selected "motivation package" should be individual in nature and take into account, if possible, the needs of each employee. Considerable attention should be paid to employee learning, involvement in trainings and round tables, business trips in other countries for experience exchange. In addition, it is necessary to increase the financial incentive of employees. The introduction of the proposed measures in the collectively owned banks is an effective and efficient tool.

In recent years, the use of new scientific techniques has effectively improved aquaculture production processes. Astaxanthin has various properties in aquaculture and its antioxidant benefits have been closely related to stress resistance; besides, it is an essential factor for growth in many crustaceans and fish. The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) fed diets containing different amounts of astaxanthin (AX) to the shock and stress of different physicochemical environments. A 70-day trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementation of a source of astaxanthin (Carophyll Pink, 10% astaxanthin, w/w, Hoffman-La Roche, Switzerland) at various levels in the diet of M. nipponense juveniles. Four dry diets were prepared: AX0 without astaxanthin, AX50 with 50mg/kg, AX100 with 100mg/kg, and AX150 with 150mg/kg astaxanthin. The feeding trial was conducted in a recirculation water system consisting of 12 fiberglass tanks (1 000L) used for holding prawns. Three replicate aquaria were initially stocked with 36org/m2 per tank. During the trial, prawns were maintained on a 12:12-h light:dark photoperiod with an ordinary incandescent lamp, and the water quality parameters were maintained as follows: water temperature, 25-26°C; salinity, 1g/L; pH, 8.5-8.8; dissolved oxygen, 6.0-6.5mg/L; and ammonia-nitrogen, 0.05mg/L. Incorporation of AX, production output, and physiological condition were recorded after 10 weeks of feeding. At the end of the growing period, the prawns were exposed to thermal shock (0°C), ammonia (0.75mg/L), and reduced oxygen (0.5mg/L). The time to lethargy and the time to complete death of the prawns were recorded. The results showed that control prawns had the shortest time to lethargy and death compared with prawns subjected to the other treatments. The results of this study have shown that the amount of muscle tissue and gill carotenoids in prawn fed with an AX150 diet showed greater reduction than those exposed to other treatments. It is possible that higher levels of astaxanthin in the body under oxygen reduction stress can be beneficial for prawns. These results suggest that male prawns showed lethargy earlier than females, and the percentage of carotenoid reduction in muscle and gill tissues was higher in males.
