Skill is central to inequality in the workplace, as a basis of material reward and status recognition. While much research treats skill as a set of abilities possessed—or not—by a worker, scholars have yet to grasp the organizational processes whereby jobs come to be taken as rudimentary and the worker performing them unskilled and therefore deficient. To illuminate these processes, we travel to Beijing, China, where workers are loquacious about inequalities confronted in relatively new forms of labor. By juxtaposing two service workplaces where similar sets of work tasks carry contradictory value, we discover the social relations that demote workers and their jobs based on identities, femininity in one workplace, rurality in another. We argue that formulating job tasks as skilled or unskilled is itself a kind of organizational work, which recruits the efforts of managers, colleagues, and customers. Unskilled workers do not appear in the workplace already deficient, but become so through organizational processes.

The low salaries are one of the most significant factors that does not contribute to social and economic development in the country. Therefore, at the present stage, it is necessary to restore all salary functions , especially stimulating one, to increase the proportion of material reward in people's monetary incomes. This will help to improve the living standards and purchasing power, revitalize business processes that will definitely contribute to the economic development of the country and economic entities. The article reveals the approach to the formation of material reward at the present stage. The employee receives his salary for the exercise of official duties, the bonus is determined by the complexity, quality, efficiency of the work done. The labor code of the Russian federation does not allow an employer to force an employee to do the job that is not included in the job description, unless an employee himself wants to do so. As research shows, in practice there are situations of social and labor relations that deviate from the norms of the employment contract. All these issues are urgent and require the development and implementation of an effective policy of social and labor relations.

Agile Organizations

Employees and their knowledge are one of the most important resources of any enterprise. Material reward system often does not bring the assumed benefits. In public administration, it is trying to develop effective methods of rewarding employees that would not involve the entity’s financial resources and at the same time improve work efficiency. In this situation, it may be appropriate to introduce solutions used in agile organizations. The non-material reward system in the agile model allows for creating agility features in employees. The article includes an analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the subject and the author’s own research, carried out in two public administration units. In the context of the research gap, the author tried to answer the following research question: Can public administration units, like agile organizations, introduce actions aimed at creating agility characteristics in employees and thus achieve better results? The main goal of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between the introduction of intangible reward systems and the creation of agility in public administration employees. For the purposes of the study, the author formulated a research hypothesis assuming that non-material methods of reward contribute to creating agility features in employees.

Periodical Publishing

Throughout the period in question, Gaelic periodical publishing has faced a number of persistent problems: relatively small, and declining, numbers of speakers, comparatively low levels of literacy in the language, insufficient institutional support, and editors and writers working for little material reward. As a result, most Gaelic periodicals survived for relatively short periods, and aside from the weekly Mac-Talla, published in Canada from 1892 to 1904, there has never been a Gaelic newspaper of any significance. In spite of this, Gaelic periodicals made a major contribution to Gaelic literature and culture more generally, serving as a platform for new generations of Gaelic writers, a conduit for new styles, particularly of modernist Gaelic poetry, and new genres, such as the short story, plays, social and political comment, current affairs, humour, literary translation, and much else.
