Abstract

In any branch of the agro-industrial complex, a special role is played by the management team. The success of an agro-industrial enterprise depends largely on the level of motivation of its head, as he forms and directs the work of subordinate personnel. Despite extensive theoretical and practical research in the field of labor motivation, these studies lack an industry-specific approach that takes into account the specifics of the labor activity of managers of the agro-industrial sector of production. The object of the study was 30 managers of various experimental production farms in the Rostov region. During the empirical study, two test methods were used: “career Anchors” (E. Shane) and “Motivational profile” (S. Ritchie and P. Martin), as well as the author’s projective questionnaire. The practical significance of the work consists in scientifically-based recommendations developed based on the analysis of the results of the study. These recommendations can be taken into account by managers and employees of personnel services of enterprises in the agro-industrial area when forming systems of motivation and development of higher needs for employees who hold senior positions in modern market conditions.
