Intra-firm mobility as a factor in the quality of employees' working life: specifics in the context of economic turbulence

Relevance. In modern personnel management systems, more and more attention is paid to the principle of human-centeredness. From the standpoint of increasing the return on employees, special attention has been paid to such a complex indicator as the quality of their working life. In this context, an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing it is required, especially taking into account the turbulence in development inherent in the modern Russian economy.

The purpose is development and advancement of theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation and development of the quality of working life.

Objectives: to analyze the concepts of quality of working life; to identify the features of intra-company mobility that affect the increase in employee productivity; to substantiate and develop proposals for improving the quality of working life based on employee mobility within the enterprise.

Methodology. The methods of quantitative and qualitative, monographic and retrospective analysis, methods of comparing economic phenomena and processes, methods of abstraction, generalization of analyzed economic information, as well as specific methods of quality economics and motivation theory were used.

Results. Improving the quality of life, including work life, requires building an effective system of interaction between society, business and the state, which is especially important in the context of economic turbulence. The paper analyzes the concept of quality of work life. The factors of formation of quality of work life are determined. Directions of personnel development in order to stabilize employment are proposed. The theoretical results of the study develop the theory of quality economics and the theory of labor economics. Applied findings of the study can be useful for enterprise management and heads of HR services.

Conclusions. One of the main conditions for the growth of labor productivity is the quality of work life. Planning of mobility within the organization should be carried out on the basis of differentiation of employees depending on the degree of their importance, for which it is recommended to categorize employees into the "center" and "periphery". Such division of personnel allows applying an individual strategy of personnel development in order to stabilize employment. The existing mechanisms of organization, motivation of labor and formation of quality of working life are seriously influenced by external factors, in particular, such a factor is a series of macro shocks of recent years, which caused turbulence in the economy; intra-company mobility is aimed at satisfying the needs of the individual and it can be considered as a factor in improving the quality of working life, including in the conditions of the noted turbulence.
