Youth satisfaction with the employment: a survey
Abstract. Socialization is unalienable from the economic growth thus precluding management of the social interactions within economic activities. The purpose of the research is to find out whether social factors prevail among other factors in contemporary development of the youth-oriented values to create the basis for effective human capital management. With this regard, a survey was conducted among 253 employees aged 18-29 at the 54 enterprises of different sectors in Chernivtsi region of Ukraine in December, 2015 aimed at analysing the ways to satisfy the youth in the employment sphere.
Factors behind de-motivation of young employees were studied: the absence of the economic and social interest in outcomes due to the inadequate pay rate that lowers the work productivity; unemployment; conflicts; unfavourable working conditions and professional development; formalism of the negotiation of the collective agreement; poor work relationships that levels the collective and individual responsibility for collective results.
The most powerful leverages that activate the working behaviour of young people towards productivity growth are: employment stability; financial rewards; comfortable working environment; favourable working conditions and professional development.
Mistakes as to the motivational stimuli were uncovered: exaggeration of the influence of such factors as discipline control, professional development on the job activity evaluation and the underestimation of such factors as job stability, pay rate increase.
