- Abstract
The problem of backwardness of Russian enterprises in their labour productivity, which, in comparison with foreign competitors is one-fourth or one-fifth as high, is practically always being solved with great difficulty despite numerous attempts of technical retooling and borrowing the paid off organizational decisions from other nations. For the Chinese economy, the problem of further increasing of labour productivity is also urgent. To what extent is this problem preconditioned by the employees' personality traits and values? The preliminary findings show that successful (i.e. leading to significant productivity growth) implementation of both the rational model of employment relations and the LEAN-production method at Russian enterprises is scarcely connected with the employees' personality traits. This may testify to the fact that labour productivity is mainly predetermined by specific social ties within small professional groups - "dyads" and "triads", rather than by the employees' personality traits typical of a certain enterprise. In this case, these are such variables as the assignment of roles and responsibilities, as well as the styles of communication and administration, that become the predictors of labour productivity.
