MECHANISMS OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT OF UKRAINIAN IT COMPANIES IN THE SYSTEM OF FORMING EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

Abstract

The article examines modern trends and features of personnel management in Ukrainian IT companies in the context of developing emergency management decisions. It is determined that personnel in modern conditions is not only a key resource for ensuring competitiveness and innovative development of IT business, but also the main carrier of professional, intellectual, and adaptive potential, which determines the company’s ability to respond promptly to the challenges of the external environment and make effective management decisions in conditions of uncertainty. A comprehensive description of the main features of personnel management mechanisms in the field of  information technologies is provided. The feasibility of transitioning from traditional personnel management mechanisms to adaptive, competency-oriented approaches that ensure the effective functioning of IT companies amid high external turbulence is substantiated. An author’s architectural model of the adaptive-competence mechanism of personnel management in IT companies is proposed, which is based on a combination of adaptive and competency components. It has been established that among the tools of personnel management, the leading place is occupied by professional training, development of competencies, knowledge management, digital interaction, motivational support, and other tools of human capital development that leverage digitalization opportunities. It is substantiated that they create the prerequisites for the accumulation and mobilization of employees’ intellectual potential in solving complex management tasks. The main functional characteristics of the adaptive-competence mechanism of personnel management are determined, among which the competence, adaptation, and motivational functions, the function of reproducing and increasing the intellectual capital of the organization, the organizational-integration function, the function of preserving and capitalizing strategic human resources, as well as the function of forming the potential for making emergency management decisions are distinguished. It is substantiated that, due to its inherent functionality, the adaptive-competence mechanism of personnel management ensures increased organizational stability and adaptability of IT companies, lays the groundwork for timely emergency management decisions, and creates the basis for the formation of sustainable competitive advantages of Ukrainian enterprises in the IT sector.
