Abstract

One of the fundamental problems in management is the issue of correlation of occupational rationality and human factor. The highest recognition of this issue was achieved in the Russian management thought in the early 1900s. The authors have concentrated their attention on the Russian management thought, since it is studied less in comparison with classical Western management schools. This article analyzes the works by the major philosophers and theoreticians of management, their approaches and attitudes to the mentioned issue are considered, the main results of conferences on scientific organization of labor held in the USSR are studied. The main aim of the article is retrospective analysis and systematization of approaches of the Russian scientists to the correlation between occupational rationality and human capital. The results of the study are arranged in the form of correlation matrix of various sides and attitudes on this issue in the works by various Russian philosophers of management. It should be mentioned that solution to this problem is relevant at present, since digitization minimizes the significance and opportunities of human factor.

Summary

Introduction

Management thought in the course of its history faced numerous scientific and methodological problems and contradictions. Researchers involved in the issues of management understand fairly well that such contradictions advance the science, since the management is a social humanitarian science and its development directly depends on the thoughts and attitudes of researchers. Analysis of theoretical and philosophical provisions of the management thought of various schools and scientists is the basis for development of modern management [1]. Nowadays the researchers agree that the development of management terminated, and new concepts are just reconsideration of the existing ones. In this regard the issue arises to determine new trends of management thought [3]
