ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR IN THE SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the human resource potential of the industrial sector as an important component of ensuring the economic stability of Ukraine in the conditions of structural transformations, military risks and instability of the economic environment. The need for its comprehensive assessment is substantiated, taking into account the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of human resources, the level of their stability and efficiency of use. The purpose of the study is to conduct an assessment of the human resource potential of the industrial sector in the system of economic stability of Ukraine. To achieve the set goal, economic and mathematical tools were used, in particular, correlation-regression analysis, the least squares method, longitudinal data models with fixed effects, comparison and ranking. The profitability of operating activities of enterprises in the industrial sector was determined as a performance indicator, and the share of capital investments of industry in total capital investments and the turnover rate were determined as factor characteristics. The study was conducted on the main subsectors of the industrial sector: mining and quarrying, processing industry, as well as electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply. Production linear regression models were constructed, which allowed us to quantitatively assess the nature of the influence of the studied factors on the performance of industrial enterprises. It was established that the models are characterized by different explanatory power: the coefficient of determination is 0.72 for the mining industry, 0.50 for the processing industry and 0.86 for the supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning. Calculations using the Fisher criterion confirmed the adequacy of the constructed models. Correlation analysis showed different strengths of the relationship between factor and performance indicators depending on the subsector. It is proven that the application of economic and mathematical methods creates a basis for a comprehensive assessment of human resources potential, identifying key factors of its impact on economic results and forming sound management decisions. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of their use for monitoring human resource sustainability, forecasting the development of the industrial sector and developing measures to preserve and effectively use the human potential of Ukraine.
