Formation of Concept of Provision of Economic Security of Organization: Personnel Aspect

Abstract

1. Introduction As is known, under the conditions of increased risk and threats for companies' activities both from external and internal business environments, success can be achieved only by the organization that uses innovational approaches to conduct of business which cover all aspects of its activities. A peculiarity of economic activities of recent years is growing attention of industrial organizations' managers to the problem of personnel aspect of economic security. 2. Materials and Methods During this research, the authors came to conclusion that economic security of organization has a complicated internal structure, in which three most important elements are distinguished (Rubina R.Y., Rubin A.G., 2009): 1) economic independence; 2) economic sustainability; 3) capability for development, self-development, and progress. Development is the most important component of not only economic security, but one of the important conditions for increase of profitability and competitiveness of organization (Grigoryeva V.V., Polozova A.N., 2013). It is necessary to control the process of development in order to maximize the effect from transformations realized in organization. Development of organization cannot be performed without development of personnel, but these changes should be systemic and aimed at organization in whole (Bryantseva L.V., Makushnikova E.S., 2014). Main components of the system organization's economic security are the following (Gorkovenko E.V., Platonova I.V., 2014): 1) protection of business environment; 2) protection of informational resources; 3) protection of material resources; 4) protection of financial independence; 5) protection of employees (personnel security). The last component of economic security is the most interesting for our research--personnel security, which is personnel's protection from external and internal threats for the purpose of provision of conditions for effective personnel management and, as a consequence, high level of organization's competitiveness. 3. Discussion and Results The purpose of provision of organization's personnel security is prevention of negative influence of factors of external and internal business environment on economic security of organization by means of timely elimination (or minimization) of risks and threats, related to personnel, its intellectual potential and labor relations on the whole. Effectiveness of organization's work and its economic security largely depend on how personnel risks are taken into account in personnel management (risks related to actions of employees). As personnel participate in all spheres of economic relations in organization, it is possible to state that personnel risks are complex ones, the most important of which are risks of violation of information confidentiality. Main causes of risks are shown in Figure 2. Risks lead to emergence of various threats. We emphasize the difference between external and internal threats to personnel security. Internal threats of personnel security include: rival's enticing highly qualified employees; availability of better working conditions and motivation; external pressure on employees; various types of employees' addictions (physical addictions: alcohol, drug; psychological addiction: internet, game, etc.). External threats to personnel security include: weak personnel management in organization; low level of employees' qualification; highly qualified employees' quitting; formal check of candidates during hiring; absence (or underdevelopment) of the system of studying in organization; ineffective program of motivation and stimulation (absence of connection of work results to level of employees' wages); absence of corporate culture (Egorova L.S., Frolova P.S., Frolova O.N., 2013). …
