Full text

Labor productivity is a key indicator of socioeconomic development and an important benchmark for state economic policy. In the context of the implementation of the new federal project “Labor Productivity” and the need to achieve national targets, developing a systems-based approach to managing labor productivity across the entire economy is particularly relevant. The aim of this study is to develop a system-based understanding of the goals and mechanisms of labor productivity management in the Russian Federation at the macro, sectoral, and organizational levels and to substantiate development directions for these systems in the current conditions. The research methods included the analysis of regulatory and policy documents, statistical and comparative analysis of labor productivity and employment indicators by economic sector, and a systems-based approach. The analysis substantiates the need to shift from primarily targeted measures to improve labor productivity to a multi-level management system encompassing the system, sectoral, and organizational levels. A conceptual model of labor productivity management is pro- posed, focused on the institutional synchronization of national projects, industry programs, and productivity-improvement tools, as well as the development of a productivity culture as a prerequisite for the sustainability of achieved results.

Keywords: labor productivity, labor productivity management system, social sphere, federal project.
