ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF LABOR WAGES ON THE GROWTH OF ITS PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The study of the problem of increasing labor productivity is always relevant, since its growth ensures the sustainable development of sectors of the country's economy. This is especially important for agriculture, which is the guarantor of food security. Of great importance among the factors ensuring the growth of agricultural labor productivity is the level of wages, which is the main motive and incentive for the work of workers. This necessitates the need to conduct research that will ensure constant monitoring not only of the dynamics of changes in the level of these indicators, but also the timely identification of emerging problems. In the economic literature, there are still discussions about the optimal ratio of growth rates of wages and labor productivity, as well as how to ensure it in a separate economic entity. As part of this study, an assessment was made of the level and structure of wages for workers in agricultural organizations in the Oryol region, and the dynamics of labor productivity, calculated by revenue from product sales per 1 employee, was analyzed. Positive trends in its change were established. A study of the dynamics of the relationship between growth rates between wages and labor productivity showed that the prevailing trend in agricultural organizations in the Oryol region is that the growth rate of labor productivity exceeds the rate of payment. In order to study the interdependence between them, a correlation and regression analysis was carried out. As a result, statistically significant parameters of the model were obtained, which indicate that an increase in wages by 1 rub. will lead to an increase in labor productivity by an average of 7.065 thousand rubles. for 1 person. This data can be used to predict its level in the region. However, an important problem remains the formation of a system for assessing the productivity of agricultural labor of workers in a specific organization, which would have a clear relationship with indicators of labor incentives.
