Abstract
The current paper aims are to substantiate theoretical and
methodological principles that reveal the essence of the concept “decent
labour remuneration”, to develop tools and analyse remuneration policy
from the perspective of implementation of decent work conception in
education sector in Ukraine. Methodology of research. The analysis of the
labour remuneration policy in education sector has been based on the developed
indicators using statistical methods, a comparative analysis, an analogue
method and a content analysis. Issues of labour remuneration play a
key role in theory and practice of the decent work conception. Despite paying
focused attention to the issues of remuneration policy by scientists and
practitioners, the conception of decent labour remuneration has remained
underinvestigated. The conceptual provisions that reveal the essence of the
concept “decent labour remuneration” have been formulated. The policy of
labour remuneration from the point of view of implementation of decent
work principles in education sector in Ukraine has been analyzed. The analysis
has shown negative trends, in particular low level, significant lag in
wage from other sectors (in particular, finance and insurance, the field of
information and telecommunications, etc.), insufficient structure and differentiation
of wages. The current policy of labour remuneration leads to
demotivation of staff, devaluation of the prestige of pedagogical and scientific
activities, loss of employees’ interest in work as a way of earning
incomes and deepening social inequality. The policy of low wage in the
education sector leads to searching work by employees in other sectors with
higher level of incomes. The analysis of collective bargaining regulation
of remuneration in education sector in Ukraine has shown the low level of it. Many obligations of the social partners are recommendatory rather than
mandatory which do not oblige the heads of educational and scientific institutions
to implement them. Negative is the fact that some legislative rules
have recommendatory nature in the Sectoral Agreement in the education for
2016-2020. There is the lack of specific instruments and responsible people
for the implementation of the obligations that leads to non-fulfillment of
them, impossibility to control over the implementation of obligations and
punish guilty people for breaking the rules. The necessity of improvement
of labour remuneration policy in the education sector in Ukraine in order
to implement of decent labour remuneration has been proved. The determination
of the basic parameters of remuneration must be based on the usage
of market and contractual elements for regulation of the level and structure
of remuneration, as well as the implementation of innovative approaches
and tools to the formation of various components of rewards. Originality.
Indicators and standards for estimating remuneration policy from the perspective
of implementation of decent work principles at the sectoral level
have been worked out. Practical value. Developed indicators and standards
for estimating remuneration policy at the sectoral level can be used by ministries,
trade union organizations, employers’ organizations for analyzing
remuneration policy and identifying directions for improvement in order to
implement the decent work concept.
