This article is devoted to the study of the content of process-oriented organizational culture. The main questions in it are whether there is a composition of universal values defined by the methodology of business process management and whether the organisational cultures of Russian correspond correspond to it. To solve these problems, three research tasks аre performed. Firstly, the composition and interrelationships of values of the process-oriented culture are defined from the nomothetic approach based on the ideas set out by the international professional community in the standard “Guide to the Business Process Management Common Body of Knowledge”. Secondly, the presence of these nomothetically defined values in official statements and documents of Russian companies is assessed. Thirdly, the practice of following the process-oriented culture is studied based on the analysis of the content and methods of implementation of business process improvement projects in Russian organisations. As a result of the research, it has been found that the universal values of the process-oriented culture include change, quality in the aspects of customer orientation and productivity, responsibility and cooperation. In the article it is concluded that the organisational cultures of modern companies are isomorphic. It is suggested that this similarity is due to general trends in the development of society, among which are scientific and technological progress, increasing production capabilities, and growing availability of education and knowledge on the whole. In view of the possible prospects of these trends, it has also been concluded that it is necessary to maintain the balance of universal values of the process-oriented culture in modern organisations by deliberately cultivating responsibility and cooperation.

Transformation of approaches to public administration has an increasing tendency of using successful entrepreneurial experience proven by long-term practice in the market. The research is aimed to perform a comparative analysis of two modern concepts of government administration through meeting customers’ needs – client-centricity and clientocracy. The article examines the history of formation of a client-centric approach in the strategic planning system of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF, Russia). Client-centricity serves as a mechanism for implementing the idea of a service state. For the first time, stages of transition to the concept of client-centricity in public administration of Russia are introduced. Values, principles, directions, and mission of the RF as a client-centric state are described. Categories of citizens to whom the standards of client-centricity apply are identified. The results of implementation of a customer-oriented approach in provision of federal and regional services in 2023 are assessed. Methodological approach of clientocracy as a new concept of management of commercial and state organisations is described using the example of experience of successful Russian companies “VkusVill”, “Agama”, and “ChemRar”. Principles, elements, stages, and tools of clientocracy applicable for use in the public administration system are considered. We show the precedent of creation of a public-private partnership by the Russian Quality System and a group of innovative companies in the form of “Beyond Taylor” company for development and implementation of more effective management standards. The differences between clientocracy and classical bureaucratic approach to management are presented. The paper draws conclusions about consistency of the two concepts. At the same time, clientocracy evolutionarily absorbs the best approaches of client-orientation, client- and human-centricity and integrates them into a separate methodology taking into account the Russian practice.

The article discusses key aspects of management of research and design (hereinafter referred to as R&D) project and programme with a focus on the importance of interdisciplinary approach and integration of scientific and industrial sectors. Using the example of domestic enterprises and scientific institutes, it demonstrates how the diversity of scientific and technological directions contributes to significant breakthroughs in the field of economy and technology, which in turn strengthens national security and stimulates sustainable economic growth. Methodologically, the work is based on a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing the success of scientific projects as well as on the identification of key components of effective management of such projects. The results of the study emphasise the importance of close cooperation between different sectors of the economy, which contributes to the creation of a favourable environment for innovative development. Areas for future research include the development and improvement of methodological approaches to R&D performance measurement as well as the study of universal practices that can be applied across sectors to optimise innovation adoption and its impact on societal development. Applying these approaches in real-world contexts will ensure the creation of long-term sustainable solutions to improve the country’s innovation potential and competitiveness.

The article presents results of usage analysis of artificial intelligence (hereinafter referred to as AI) in the lecturers’ activity in institutes and universities. The main tasks facing teachers in developing and maintaining training courses are considered. The methodological part discusses the provisions of scientific publications concerning the use of AI in teaching as well as analyses the research results describing the possibilities of applying the technology by university lecturers. It is shown that modern AI models provide a wide range of opportunities to support teaching activities, ranging from automation of periodically performed tasks to the creation of unique educational content. As a result of the analysis of the sources, it is shown that AI can provide significant support to teachers in creating educational materials, assessing students’ knowledge, checking homework, testing and analysing their assignments. The authors have conducted a comparison of the most used GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) models to determine what can be obtained from them for teaching at university. The results are presented with a pilot survey of lecturers which was conducted at the end of 2024. According to the data obtained, teachers begin to use neural networks to fulfill their professional duties. It is revealed that most of them positively assess the application of AI for educational purposes, but face limitations, including technical and organisational barriers. It shows which types of work use GPT models most often. The lecturers’ wishes for advanced training in the field of AI application have been determined.

The article investigates the problem of small towns in the Russian Federation that are already abandoned or being abandoned in the context of solving tasks of sustainable development of territories. The aims of the study are to identify and analyse problems and opportunities of geobranding of the abandoned city from the perspective of systems theory. Achieving the aims implied solving the following tasks: analysing peculiarities of functioning and development of a small city from the perspective of the systems theory; identifying and considering objective determinants of the city’s demise as a socio-economic geosystem; analysing possibilities of solving the problem of revival of the abandoned small city by means of geobranding. As a result of the study it is proved that from the point of view of the systems theory, degradation and death of a small town are based on both objective intrasystem regressive processes and objective processes of development of its supersystems, which are, first of all, socio-economic geosystems of a higher order; the main destabilising factors of the process of small town development as well as systemic violations corresponding to them have been identified and systematised; the mechanism of revival of the abandoned small town through geobranding tools is proposed, the use of which implies repositioning of the town as a geocultural object; different brand concepts of geobranding strategy of repositioning the abandoned small town are presented, the choice of which at the level of practical implementation depends on content features of the town, its cultural, historical, natural, architectural specifics.

The article analyses the state and dynamics of the tourism industry in the Russian Federation over the past decade. It is noted that the development of the tourism sector can be conditionally divided into four main periods, each of which gradually saw a change in the focus of industry development. The first one is characterised by a rapid increase in demand for foreign tours due to the rapid growth in the standard of living and lack of adequate volume and quality of tourism services, which, in turn, led to a greater tourist flow abroad than within the country. During this period, the industry received a significant boost in the development of the network of travel agencies. In the second period, which refers to 2014-2019, there is an accelerated growth in demand for domestic destinations relative to the previous period, due to a less attractive exchange rate as well as political instability in the countries of traditional residence of Russian tourists. 2014 became a turning point in accelerating the development of domestic guest infrastructure. In 2014, a record increase in the number of rooms was recorded – 11.7%. In 2015, it was even greater – 14.8%. The third period is the COVID-19 pandemic, which seriously undermined the positive trend in the development of the tourism industry. The fourth period has begun in 2022 and continues to the present day. It can be characterised as a rapid stage in the development of domestic tourism against the backdrop of a reduction in trips abroad. Among the regions, the key role belongs to Moscow as the main centre of attraction for tourist flows.

In international practice, educational tourism can be classified in several areas: from language programmes to short-term educational exchanges lasting no more than one year. The article analyses the state and prospects of educational tourism development in member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as EAEU). The key factors of the development are highlighted (considering globalisation of education, economic impact, strengthening of international relations) as well as technological progress and digitalization of education, interdisciplinary approach. According to the authors of the study, these factors together emphasise the importance of developing the educational tourism, which contributes to strengthening integration, improving the quality of educational services, and creating new economic opportunities in the region. However, insufficient coordination of integration processes as well as significant differences in national educational standards in the member states lead to slowdown in the development. The article examines the dynamics of exports of educational and tourism services of the Republic of Belarus and their share in the total volume of services exported to the member states of the EAEU. In conclusion, recommendations are given for improving the type of tourism under study for the effective development of the humanitarian sphere in the EAEU countries.

At the present stage, the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation operates in very complex and ambiguous socio-economic conditions. On the one hand, international sanctions have become the driving force and incentive for the domestic production, but at the same time, sanctions and counter-sanctions have made it difficult to solve a set of internal problems that have formed in the Russian agriculture over the past decades. The article examines the current problem of developing the agroleasing segment as the most effective investment mechanism for the technical re-equipment and renovation of the country’s machine and tractor fleet (hereinafter referred to as MTP) of the agricultural sector. The main aspects of the transformation of the Russian leasing market in the agro-industrial complex and the key trends in the agroleasing development at the current stage are analysed. Based on the analysis, the need to form a comprehensive ecosystem of the agroleasing is substantiated, including expanding the scope of its application, searching, developing the most optimal formats and mechanisms for integration and cooperation between market participants, taking into account the use of leasing mechanisms. The importance of systemic government support for maintaining the pace of renewal of the MTF is emphasised. The final part highlights the most promising directions for the agroleasing development at the present stage. The work uses general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, economic and statistical, graphical methods, etc.).

The article is devoted to the analysis of current problems that prevent the widespread use of cost engineering (hereinafter referred to as SI) in the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF). Despite the growing interest in SI as a tool for optimising costs and improving project efficiency, its practical application faces a number of barriers. The purpose of the article is to formulate the main problems of the application of cost engineering in the RF and to predict its prospects. In the course of the research, methods of system analysis, structural and logical analysis were used within the framework of the general methodological system-information approach. A brief description of SI is given. The reasons limiting the effectiveness of the implementation of SI are investigated, such as the lack of uniform standards and methodologies, and the lack of qualified specialists in this field. The article analyses the problems associated with the cultural component of the organisation, its financial constraints, lack of government support, superficial analysis of the value of the product or service itself, lack of educational programmes and weak motivation of specialists. Unwillingness to change, lack of trust in SI and insufficient funding prevent its widespread implementation. The prospects for the application of cost engineering are considered, and Russian companies that have already introduced SI into their practice are mentioned. In conclusion, recommendations are offered to solve existing problems that will help improve the efficiency of processes in the company and reduce costs, such as the formation of a legislative and regulatory framework, the development of specialist competencies, changing the business culture of organisations, and providing financial support. The article will be of interest to specialists in the field of project management, construction, engineering, as well as heads of organisations interested in optimising costs and improving the efficiency of their activities.

The presented approach to substantiating the efficiency of resource use in the industrial ecosystem, which is a new model of functioning and development of economic entities caused by the digitalisation of the economy, makes it possible to reflect the importance of technological and structural innovations for achieving the goals of sustainable development of industrial enterprises and their impact on the development of the spatio-temporal environment. In addition to traditional forms of ensuring capital investments in the interaction of the economic entities in the industrial ecosystem, it is proposed to use digital assets provided by an increase in production capacity due to the application of digital solutions, which will allow to determine the level of provision of the production system with resources, based on the possibility of their replacement by changing production technology during digitalisation, existing knowledge, and a new approach to the use of resources as a result of production and logistics integration of participants in ecosystem interaction. As a result of the study, a classification of sustainable development technologies for enterprises by the type of sources of production capacity is presented, which is reflected in the proposal to include an indicator reflecting the useful capacity in the financial indicators of assessment, that are currently largely determined considering the capabilities and needs of society. Thus, it is proposed to supplement the provision of capital investments in the interaction of industrial enterprises in the ecosystem based on the increase in the capacity of the production system formed as a result of the use of resources by a set of business entities.

This article examines the development and implementation of domestically produced vaccines against COVID-19, specifically the “Sputnik V” vaccine, within the context of ensuring the Russian Federation’s (hereinafter referred to as RF) national and economic security. It analyses the impact of the development and deployment of them on economic stability and healthcare system, while also considering the international response to the Russian vaccine. Special attention is paid to monitoring vaccine safety and leveraging the acquired experience to strengthen the state’s economic security. The authors emphasise the importance of developing the domestic pharmaceutical industry and providing government support for research and design to ensure the sustainable development of the healthcare system as a strategic objective. The article analyses the current state and future prospects for ensuring the RF’s economic security in the pharmacological and pharmaceutical sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed existing shortcomings in the healthcare system and highlighted the need to strengthen the state’s economic security. Conceptual approaches to prospective transformations are proposed, including harmonisation of legislation, promotion of national digital technologies, optimisation of pricing, modernisation of international cooperation, and integration of research agencies. It is emphasised that effective risk management in the pharmacological and pharmaceutical spheres is a key factor in ensuring the economic security and well-being of the nation.

The article is devoted to analysis of mechanisms for adjusting economic policy of countries of the world under influence of new global challenges in development of the world economy, while, on the one hand, the changes observed in domestic macroeconomic policy are analysed, and, on the other hand, the emphasis is placed on implementation of opportunities for improvement of foreign economic sphere of developing countries. It is concluded that due to slowdown in global economic growth, it is necessary to identify those key policy areas that will counteract this trend as well as ensure greater debt sustainability of countries and overcome economic recession. In addition, the article defines priorities of the economic policy, taking into account unusual nature of modern inflation and its new understanding as well as new aspects of budget and monetary policy of key states and its international transmission. Besides, it has been substantiated that at present it is necessary to use other adaptation mechanisms to increase sustainability of economies of developing countries, taking into account their interconnectedness in complex configurations of development of modern world economy. Obsolescence of global financial architecture and its inconsistency with modern needs of the world economy significantly limits possibilities for structural transformation and diversification of economies of many developing countries, including the least developed countries. The new concept of multilateralism will also take into account interests of the economies of developing countries to a greater extent.

The sanctions war, triggered by the fragmented economy, restrictions on payment for goods in international settlements, has caused disconnection from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, slowing economic growth, threat of falling into a trap of prolonged stagnation, high levels of uncertainty, and limited access to capital markets. These are conditions in which the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF, Russia) was forced into in early 2020. They have predetermined the need to find new forms of interaction and cooperation with friendly and unfriendly countries. The article analyses Russia’s trade relations with friendly states, highlights the problems and trends of their development. A special place is occupied by the issues of settlements between the RF and partner countries. An analysis of the main means of settlement between Russia and counterparties, such as rubles, national currencies, yuans, cryptocurrency, and gold, has allowed us to conclude about the development prospects of the ruble component in the settlement system. The article makes an unequivocal conclusion that it is not worth relying on one specific system of international settlements, you need to have in stock the necessary and sufficient number of methods to ensure mutual settlements with all countries that are focused on the development of export-import relations with the RF.

The article examines the impact of macroeconomic phenomena on the Russian stock market. The following research methods are used: analytical methods for collecting and processing information, correlation analysis, construction of a predictive model of paired linear regression by the least squares method, econometric methods for evaluating the quality of the predictive model. The purposes of this study are to conduct an econometric analysis and assess the impact of macroeconomic phenomena on the Russian stock market. A general description of shares as a type of securities is given. The trends of the Russian stock market in the period 2017–2024 are analysed. The macroeconomic phenomena capable of influencing the dynamics of the market have been identified, and macroeconomic indicators have been specified to quantify the impact. A correlation analysis of the data is carried out, and a predictive econometric model is constructed. It is concluded that econometric forecasting models can be statistically significant, but their practical use for predicting trends in the stock market in the medium and even long-term perspective is unlikely, since in the conditions of instability of the modern Russian economy, new economic, social, news, and psychological factors arise that are not taken into account when constructing the model.

The Russian electric power industry faces an ambitious task to modernise the equipment of power plants at the curent development stage, which is due to their physical and moral deterioration. As a result, there are large reserves in the industry to increase energy efficiency by increasing coefficient of performance and reducing specific fuel consumption. However, the modernisation projects are costly and are financed by non-market mechanisms in the domestic practice – by increasing tariffs for consumers (special supplements to the power fee and payments under power supply agreements). In the foreign practice, when implementing large infrastructure projects, in particular, in the energy sector, project financing mechanisms are used, based on financing investments with borrowed funds secured by future cash flows of the project. Their successful application for the investment projects in the Russian Federation requires assessing the sufficiency of the effect of the power plants modernisation for repayment of borrowed funds and their maintenance. The paper analyses the foreign and domestic experience of the project financing of investment projects in the electric power industry. Using the example of the Khabarovsk combined heat and power plant, it is shown that the accumulated amount of fuel cost savings resulting from the modernisation of the plant makes it possible to compensate for a significant part of the investment costs.

In the context of rapid digital technology development, decentralised finance (hereinafter referred to as DeFi) and blockchain technologies (hereinafter referred to as BCT) become essential tools that significantly influence the capitalization of companies across various sectors of the economy. DeFi represents an innovative financial ecosystem that operates without traditional financial intermediaries and provides access to financial services through smart contracts. The purpose of this article is to explore the impact of DeFi and BCT on company capitalisation, to identify new methods for evaluating capitalisation used in the decentralised finance environment, and to determine the potential of these technologies in enhancing corporate investment attractiveness. The article also analyses the influence of BCT on the automation and acceleration of business processes, enabling companies to reduce transaction costs and improve efficiency metrics. The study is theoretical and analytical in nature, based on a review of scientific publications, analytical reports, and practical cases of DeFi and BCT implementation. The conclusions may be useful for researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors interested in the economic aspects of decentralised finance and blockchain technologies.

The article analyses the population’s perception of poverty as well as the attitude to the lower strata of the social pyramid. A qualitative study has been conducted using the focus group survey method – 21 focus groups have been indentified, which includes three generations of the Russians. The hypothesis that the lower class in the view of modern society is a social group which unites marginalised and lumpenised layers of the population, has been not confirmed. There is a rejection of the existing differentiation of society; people from socially vulnerable groups and blue-collar jobs find it difficult to admit that in terms of income they are at the bottom of society and do not see the possibility for themselves to rise to a higher level. We have revealed that representatives of all three generations have accumulated social resentments against the state, which allowed honest workers to be on the verge of poverty. People associate socially underprotected groups with poverty, helplessness, and injustice of their situation. The unemployed are not only those who do not want to work, but also those who cannot find a decent job in their region of residence and are forced to be content with casual labour, becoming a precariat. The Russians refuse to perceive the lower class as the norm, corresponding to education and skill level of people with low incomes. Marginalisation occurs both on the basis of the culture of poverty, cyclically repeated patterns of behaviour from generation to generation, and on the basis of pauperism – poverty founded on state care through social programmes.

The article discusses the issue of gamification in education, its motivational factors, and need to transform traditional teaching methods through introduction of elements of business game into educational process to effectively form professional competencies among students. In this regard, it is relevant to identify the factors that motivate students to gain practical experience directly during their studies and significantly increase their own competitiveness in labour market. The problem for us was lack of knowledge about the motivational factors of gamification against the background of widespread introduction of this tool into educational process. The purpose of this study is to identify the motivating factors of gamification into education for more effective formation of professional competencies. Thus, higher professional education based on a competence approach is in demand among students, and educational institutions need to rethink traditional approaches to learning and actively integrate gamification elements into the process to meet the rapidly changing labour market. Within the framework of this article, the concept of gamification is analysed, and the motivational factors for learning and formation of professional and general professional competencies in the process of conducting simulation games are identified. We have used such motivation tools as plot component, leaderboard, and levels through assessment of simulation environment by experts.

The article examines the problem of the influence of stratification incompatibility on doctors’ satisfaction with their social status based on a secondary analysis of specialised publications and available statistical data. Using the results of studies devoted to various aspects of doctors’ satisfaction with their social status and work, typical status characteristics of Russian medics are determined, discrepancies between the social significance of their work, efforts expended, and level of material remuneration for labour are revealed. Subjective dissatisfaction of doctors with their income level, confirmed by statistical data, is noted. A contradiction is revealed in the assessment of the prestige of the profession by society and medics themselves which consists in a lower assessment of this indicator by doctors, the reasons for which are excessive workload, transformation of their role from an authoritative expert to a service provider, and formation of a negative image of a medic by the media by focusing public attention on mistakes, failures of doctors, scandals with their participation. Doctors tend to leave low-paid jobs, creating a personnel imbalance in the industry and exacerbating the existing shortage of specialists. To mitigate stratification incompatibility, it is necessary to increase the income level of medics and prestige of the profession, reconsidering their role in society and creating a positive image of both health workers and entire system as a whole.

The article is devoted to the study of peculiarities of the reproductive behaviour of young people and its impact on demographic processes in the Tambov region. The paper examines the peculiarities of the transformation of the reproductive behaviour of young people. Based on the analysis of the theories of demographic transition and second demographic transition as well as economic and sociological approaches, key changes in youth reproductive strategies have been identified. Special attention is paid to the transformation of values, gender roles as well as growing importance of career and personal development, which leads to postponement of marriage and birth of children. Based on the statistical data, the main trends have been identified, such as an increase in the age of birth of the first child, decrease in the birth rate, and increased migration activity among young people, which reinforces negative demographic trends. The connection between the value component and motive of migration to more promising cities and regions is noted. The author emphasises the need for an integrated approach to the making of a regional demographic policy aimed at improving living conditions of young people, increasing housing affordability, developing medical services, and implementing educational programmes. The integrated approach that takes into account socio-economic and cultural aspects can strengthen the demographic potential of the region and reduce the level of youth migration.

The purpose of this article is to identify regional differences in the spatial distribution of population in the subjects of the Central Federal District and factors that determine them at the present stage. The study of the contrasts and factors of interregional differentiation is aimed at finding problems and solutions in the territorial aspect, ensuring demographic balance between subjects. The results of the study show that the spatial distribution has significant contrasts. Considerable differentiation of regions by population density and level of urbanisation has been revealed. The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of regional populations are influenced by such demographic factors as fertility, mortality, marriage rate, and international migration. In most regions, the birth and marriage rates decrease, population decline continues, and its ageing is observed. Negative trends in the demographic development of most subjects are aggravating, and regional differences are becoming more and more significant. In the conditions of further deepening of the demographic crisis, irrevocable international migration becomes an important factor in the demographic development of regions, capable of compensating for the population decline and ageing as well as contributing to the birth rate. Therefore, in depressed subjects it is recommended to create the necessary conditions for attracting immigrants and their subsequent integration into regional community.

The terms and definitions of personal qualities are considered, which today, along with knowledge, skills, and abilities, interpret the concept of qualification. The differences in the definitions used in the regulatory framework, psychological and pedagogical science are demonstrated: universal, supra-professional competencies, soft skills, professionally important qualities, competency models. There is a lack of consensus on the terminology used in the literature and practice. In career guidance, the authors propose to apply the concept of personal competencies that most fully and accurately defines the content of personality which a human demonstrates and which is compared with the requirements of the profession for it. The term is the closest encompassing concept from the point of view of both psychology and regulation, namely, it includes personal qualities and their manifestation – competencies. Two questions are raised: what is the composition of personal competencies, what methods and techniques are available that make it possible to assess the personal competencies of a human and profession at an acceptable level. It is shown that the competency models are similar, but there are different approaches to determining their composition. It is noted that career guidance should cover at least all major professions and use the models of personal competencies applicable for the modern labour market. We propose to use a model of 33 competencies and Big orientation test to most effectively solve the problem of evaluating a human and professions in order to find the best match between personality and the chosen profession.

The article investigates the reflection of the English-speaking world in ethnic stereotypes concerning the representatives of English nationality and American people among students-translators of Novosibirsk State Technical University. This research is relevant due to the need to monitor the reflection of the world of the studied language in specialists whose successful professional activity depends on learning cultural-specific knowledge. The study involved 47 students, and the methodology of D. Peabody’s stereotypes study and a survey were used. A high degree of the judgement coherence was found out about a typical representative of English nationality and American people, including the students’ groups that chose American English or British English. Meanwhile the image of the English nationality is more harmonious. Both images have some adaptive and maladaptive features, and, in general, the stereotypes are positive. However, there is a little difference in the choice of features groups. Thus, assessing the qualities of a typical representative of American people, the students underline the features that are more identified in interpersonal interaction and indicate a rational control and self-confidence in behaviour, while assessing a typical representative of English nationality, they put moral and ethical qualities first. The article concludes that in the respondents’ minds the images of these two countries representatives merge into a single one, the English-speaking world. Additionally, there is a perceived lack of comprehensive representation of the national character of the English and Americans, which hinders the evaluation of the influence of ethnic stereotypes on the preference for the English language variant.

The article raises the problem of increasing the tolerance index among students. This is important to ensure the psychological safety of participants in the educational process of universities. The purpose of the study is to obtain indicators of the tolerance index and basic beliefs among students with the self–identification “I am Russian” and Russian citizenship, to establish gender differences and to determine the nature of the relationships between the obtained indicators. Results: the tolerance index of the cumulative sample tends to a low level; in particular, students were found to have a low level of ethnic tolerance with a tendency to moderate, moderate indicators of social tolerance and tolerance as character traits. Students have normative indicators of faith in the benevolence of the world and the justice of the world order; overestimated indicators of faith in their luck, the ability to control the events of their lives and self-worth. The tolerance index closely correlates positively with faith in the benevolence of the world, negatively correlates with indicators of self-worth and the belief in the possibility of control. It is summarised that the key predictor of the tolerance index is the level of faith in the benevolence of the world. Female students have higher rates of social tolerance and faith in the justice of the world order. The possibility of practical application of the obtained data is shown.

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and work motivation of employees in modern organisations. Based on the systematisation of empirical research data, key mechanisms of influence of emotional intelligence components on various aspects of the motivational sphere of workers have been identified. The mediating factors of this relationship and their specificity in organisations of different types are determined. A meta-analysis of the results of 157 independent studies covering more than 42,000 respondents was conducted, which confirmed stable correlations between emotional intelligence and work motivation indicators. Special attention is paid to the differentiation of the influence of intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional intelligence on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It was revealed that the most pronounced relationships are observed in innovative companies, while the least pronounced are in highly formalised organisations. Scientifically based recommendations are offered for using developments in the field of emotional intelligence to optimise personnel motivation systems and improve organisational effectiveness. Practical programmes for developing emotional intelligence as a tool for managing work motivation are presented.
