Влияние культурных особенностей на развитие социально-трудовых отношений и практику корпоративного обучения в странах Ближневосточного региона

Abstract

The presented work examines the peculiarities of social and labor relations, approaches to the organization of personnel training and development in the Middle East and their conditionality with cultural and religious aspects of objective social reality. Despite the fact that the countries of the Middle East region have the largest and most diversified economies, there is practically no data or research results in the literature regarding strategies and practices of corporate training and personnel development in companies in these countries. The article notes that business owners are usually strongly influenced by national culture, which itself is strongly influenced by religion. Arab culture plays an important role in the formation of the organizational structure and decision-making in the organizations of the States of the region. Most senior executives in large private sector organizations tend to be citizens of the country, but they often act as managers, and day-to-day operations are run by expatriates. Citizens of Middle Eastern states do not adhere to the work ethic recognized in the West. It is concluded that, despite the high degree of awareness of the importance of corporate training and workforce development programs, the sphere of social and labor relations, personnel policy and principles of personnel management in companies in the region have their own characteristics due to the influence of religion and culture.
