Abstract:
The transformation of the world economic system and the transition of the most developed countries to the knowledge economy cause new requirements for the qualitative characteristics of workers. In particular, since the middle of the 20th century, the role of qualification and education in the production process as well as creative potential has increased markedly. These trends actualize the topic of studying the factors facilitating the development of workers’ creative abilities. At the current time, national science has a shortage of such research, which are mainly of a general theoretical nature. In this regard, the article focuses on the motivation for creative labor activity of Russian workers. The study is based on the monitoring data of the qualitative state of labor potential of the Vologda Oblast population for 2018. The results show the heterogeneity of the conditions to unleash workers’ creativity. This is due to the degree of involvement in the creative labor activity and the nature of employment. In conclusion, the author proposes the motivational-stimulating mechanism of creative labor activity.

  • 3. На основании проведенного анализа можно сделать вывод о неоднородности условий для использования творческого потенциала работников.
  • 4. … восприятие трудовой деятельности как самозначимой ценности выступает необходимым условием проявления творческой трудовой активности.
