Decent Work Systems: Management Model Analysis on the Example of Russian Railways

Abstract

Decent work governance for modern socio-economic systems is a key goal and a common operating methodology. The current literature does not fully disclose the questions posed, which require the proposal of system management models, formed considering the factors of the external and internal environment that determine the characteristics of management in different sectors of the economy. The purpose of the paper is to update the modern provisions of the decent work theory, the formation of a basic model for managing decent working conditions and its substantive justification on the example of Russian Railways enterprises. For this purpose, the author describes the implementation research work using the methods of interdisciplinary analysis of literature and practical experience, as well as a regulatory framework, professional recruitment, including for the transport industry, strategic documents and concepts in responsible work. Also, the research used the method of counter modeling, which represents the decomposition of the theoretical model into the results of the production conditions, financial and socio-economic activities of a particular enterprise. As a result of the work carried out, the author built a model for managing suitable labor at the enterprise based on the scheme of suitable labor management, also relying on empirical data and the regulatory framework of Russian Railways. This model has become a methodological basis for analyzing the situation of decent labor management at the enterprises of Russian Railways. The data obtained testify to the operation of managerial, legal, supervisory, institutional and financial mechanisms for managing suitable work. The practice of applying the results of the study led both to positive results and identified problem areas that cause socio-economic risks in implementing personnel policy measures of Russian Railways.
