APPLICATION OF SOCIAL PROGRAMMING IN REGULATING THE DEVELOPMENT: EFFECTIVE POLICIES THROUGH ENCOURAGING HUMAN RESOURCE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Summary:
The study analyzes the place and role of social programming for public management as an intermediate stage between planning and budgeting in the implementation of the social policy of the state. The emphasis is on the social program, as a product of social programming and a tool for solving important social problems according to their resource commitment, contractors and deadlines for solving complex tasks and events. The consistency and complexity of the relationship between economic and social effectiveness of social programming is determined by the methodological principle that the realization of the social program itself becomes a catalyst for effective socio-economic development. The criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of social programming are outlined in the context of management by results according to the “what-if” principle complied with the social priorities stemming from the dynamic changes in the social environment. The social activities are shown in their many aspects in a dynamic social environment. It is proved that the human factor social activities are a key moment in public management and effective social policy implementation through the maintenance and development of abilities adequate to the changes in the social environment to harmonize social relations. The strategic advantages of active social programs are clarified as a system of social projects with direct information and feedback of social interaction that determines the adaptation capabilities of the program components to the changing requirements. The characteristics of an active social program for human resource development and the components of the mechanism for activating the social programs are analyzed, and a methodology for their development is created.
