СХІДНА І ЗАХІДНА МОДЕЛІ СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОГО ТА ДЕРЖАВНОГО МЕНЕДЖМЕНТУ: ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ КОНВЕРГЕНЦІЇ

Abstract

Actuality. Our century makes its own adjustments to the understanding of the processes occurring both within the studied cultural entities and in the orbit of their interaction with each other, which is especially actual during the period of transitional and crisis management tendencies at the turn of the millennia. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the article is to determine the universal significance of Eastern and Western cultural-civilizational and state-administrative traditions, as well as the possibility of their organic synthesis in the Ukrainian model of public management. The methodology of the research based on analysis, synthesis, historical, dialectical, abstract-logical and system-structural method involving comparativistics. Results. The research was implemented not in the traditional manner of retrospecting historical connotations and paradigms, but first of all in the form of studying the synergistic component of the superstructural mechanisms, notably the comprehension of the most significant metaphysical determinants that have an essential impact on all spheres of cultural, socio-political and managerial activity of the modern West and East. The Japanese and American models are involved as exemplary advanced management practices. Conclusions and discussion. Despite the conservatism of nationalist traditions and religious order, the East turned out to be more flexible and agile in the management of state and public organizations. Slavic culture at the worldview level imbibed rationalism, pragmatism and personalism of the West along with cordocentrism, existentiality and introversion of the East. The synthesis of individualistic American and collectivistic Japanese management models, as well as their further integration into Ukrainian administrative and social-psychological matrix of personnel management is proposed as a scientific novelty. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibilities of applying these developments in the activities of subjects of economic and socio-cultural sphere.
