Peculiarities of localization of human capital in the Russian subarctic

Abstract

This article examines the features of the meso-level parameters of human capital, using the example of the Arctic sub-region of the Tyumen area. The author’s model of the questionnaire is proposed, which was tested using the survey algorithms corresponding to the types of human, social, organizational, psychological and regional types of capital, their operationalization and verification, respectively, by their associated structures and algorithms for analyzing data identifying residents of the subarctic region from an urban sample (n=113, error on one attribute Δ=9.5%) (March 2020). The type of research is “trial” (“pilot”), which sets an empirical goal to identify positive and negative connotations of respondents regarding the assessment of human capital on the basis of constructed scales as measurement standards.It was found that the “positive connotation” in relation to the five basic issues of the “concrete human capital” subsystem is approximately three times higher than the “negative connotation”, which may indicate a prevailing trend and a key feature of the localization of human capital in the Russian subarctic. Moreover, all 24 questions on psychological capital (the PCQ-24 method) were answered with an exceptionally high positive connotation, which, first, confirms the value of the concept of “positive psychology” itself, and second, it makes you wonder why such positive data were obtained and what the results might be in other regions of the country? At the same time, the connotation “Fifty-Fifty” was noted only for some positions related to the place of residence, which may be the result of the fact that respondents living in the North, although generally positive, do not connect their future with this region or their place of residence in General.
