Current theoretical and empirical research of the problem of employees' professional competence defines competences as part of mental actions based on various staff functions and their involvement in production, as personal qualities of an individual influenced by external and internal environment of enterprises, as a value orientation to improve the level and quality of life, as a motivation of the development of organizational culture, as socio-psychological perception of their place in the professional structure of a company, as the ability to adapt to changing work conditions.

This definition of the competencies characterizes employee in the following areas:

— respect the dignity of another person and maintain personal dignity in a variety of situations of social interaction (domestic, professional, social), e.g. personal culture, self-control;

— adequate appearance, behavior and communication in the situations of domestic, professional, social interaction, that is culture of life, work, leisure, healthy lifestyle and communication;

— organizational and economic factors associated with the labor organization, the legal form of the company, its organizational structure, communicational system, the production organization, economic conditions and peculiarities of the economy, the structure of the production cost and allocation of profits, approaches to workers' remuneration, etc. These factors affect the organization of labor and production, minimization of labor costs and valuation of work, etc.;

— administrative and managerial factors associated with administrative management methods, with control functions features, the choice of principles and methods, with the complex regulatory and legislative acts defining the workers duties, rights, responsibilities, relationship «power structures» and the hierarchy of the system. These factors characterize the parameters of Business Administration:

— technical and technological factors determine the scope of the activities of engineering and technology departments and characterize the impact of hardware on workers' somatic and psychological state, their social self esteem;

— organizational and legal factors related to the application of modern legislation in labor relations, working conditions are reflected in the documents on labor relations. They define the regulatory requirements of work processes;

— specific factors: group and personal. Group factors are associated with the process of socialization, with its demand to work in the group, to play roles, to cooperate, to feel concern and care for others, to assign roles among its members, to set their status enforcing group norms and rules, thus ensuring its sustainability and group goals achievement. Personal factors reflect the system essence of human personality, its uniqueness and conditionality.

Professional competence are formed and implemented in the activities of specific companies influenced by the external and internal environment.

Ambient operation of enterprises is a system of institutions and organizations that regulate and ensure their activities.

Internal environment is a collection of elements of in-process control including the following parts:

— working conditions (occupational health and work safety, working place as a place of passing the time, psychophysiology of work, labor ergonomics, technical aesthetics);

— information flows: information about staff and organizations to be distributed, channels for disseminating information both inside and outside the organization; getting feedback;

— organizational structure and development of the enterprise: the analysis of the structural inconsistencies, changing: the structure, staffing and management.

System operation of large industrial enterprises is in constant development caused by changes in the external environment: political, economic, scientific, technical and social. These changes characterize the forms and methods of using employees professional skills and create the institutional framework for all industrial structures without exception, industrial structures, and vice versa.

This results in: 1) the formation of the enterprise type: sectoral, intersectoral, technologic, multifunctional, innovative, etc., 2) the identification of the needs in professional competence of employees which must be determined prior to the purposes and objectives of the enterprise, 3) the elaboration of the structure and mechanism of interaction among different professional employee groups for solving management problems, 4) social and labor relations among workers ensuring adaptation, interdependence, complementarity, and employees' professional growth.

Also, the features, characterizing the system of company organization, management technology, organizational structure, professional communication procedures of employees, value orientation, and staff must be defined.

Organizational industry development becomes the basis for a detailed analysis of workers' professional competence and their purposes in the medium and the long-term, as well as the necessary management decisions. The concept of «administrative decision» is diverse. It is often used to refer to the sequence of stages of administrative machinery for choosing the most optimal course of action («decision making»).

In management, decision-making is a complex and systematic process which consist of many phases and stages, starting with the problem formulation and ending with completed action (see Fig. 1):

The first stage of this process includes the following steps:

— recognition of the problem;

— formulation of the problem;

— identification of the criteria for a successful solution.

Phase 1. Admission of making decisions

— understanding of the problem

— interpretation and formulation of the problem

Phase 2. Making decision

— indentifying alternatives

— estimating alternatives

— choosing alternatives

Phase 3. Decision implementation

— organization of decision implementation

— analysis and control of implementation

Fig. 1. Stage of the decision-making process.

On the basis of previously made decision another new one occurs (if actions concerning this decision have already been over or have deviated from the original one, or have come into conflict with changes in the external environment of the organization).

If the problem of employee's professional capacity growth is defined and it benefits the organization development, the next step requires the interpretation of the mechanism of the appropriate growth in the professional capacity. It is necessary to take into consideration the following aspects of the actions implementation concerning professional competence growth of employees:

— consequences of the problem (capital intensity, efficiency, impact, etc.);

— impact on the organization (what results from solving the problem);

— urgency of the problem and the time constraint;

— reliance of the manager's skills;

— attention to the problem (the motivation and skills of the participants);

— life cycle of a problem (the problem can be solved by itself or in the process of solving other problems).

However, new unique problem often occurs and its solution does not fit into the usual and standard framework. This case requires a creative approach. There are many methods of creative search for alternatives: the so called «brainstorming «, suggesting ideas, group analysis of the situation, cause-effect diagram, record of opinions. It is important to understand that the executive manager creates a work atmosphere during the search for alternative decisions.

Decision implementation means the elimination of the origin problem in focus while the decision was made.

Decision implementation includes the coordination of the forces. The top manager should try to avoid potential conflicts, to make people interested in the solutions, to place people in such a way, that they are able to use their abilities as well as possible. To do this, firstly, it is necessary to draw an activity plan turning the decision into reality. The rights and responsibilities should be distributed among the participants. It is important to remember the old rule: «Nothing will happen if there is no responsible person.» To exchange

information, communication network should be build. And owner-member relationship between the parties should be created. Secondly, the conflict of interests should be taken into account. Different methods of empowerment delegation and employee participation contribute to this.

It is worth saying that the company orientation on the growth of employees' professional capacity depends to a large extent, on the leader. Therefore it is necessary to define the leader's skills (see Tab. 1):

Thus, the organizational development of industrial enterprises, in the context of the professional actions of leaders, contributes to the growth of the following parameters characterizing professional capacity of employees:

— Vocational qualification level (education, experience, creative approach);

— Business skills (competence, training staff, innovation in the collective decision-making style);

— The complexity of the work (the content of work, diversity and complexity, independence, scale and complexity, additional responsibilities);

— The results of work (quantity, quality, time for the execution of work);

Furthermore, this work package aimed at the growth of professional competencies of employees helps to fix and evaluate all qualifying factors of the performance of an enterprise. For this

St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University Journal. Economics no. 1-2(163) 2013

purpose, it is necessary to develop job analysis and psychograms.

Job analysis is a description of the social and economic, production and technical, sanitary and hygienic, psychological and other features of the profession and its specifications. Job description identifies and describes the requirements of the professional qualification, groups of jobs and even a separate work place. Reasonability and the scope of this method and the sphere of its application are determined by the costs and the expected results.

A psychogram is the most important part of the job analysis description of professional requirements (skills) for the personal psychological qualities. The content and volume are determined by a professional selection, vocational training, career counseling, and other elements of the personnel policy.

The psychogram comprises the following data sources: documents (instructions, regulations, chronometer tables, description); oral and written surveys of workers including questionnaires, personal observations, laboratory and natural experiments; «flight» (test, target) research and ergonomic studies in the workplace (kinocyclography, electrooculography, telemetry of physiological parameters, electroencephalography, telechronoreflexometry), etc.

The correlation between the organizational development of industrial enterprises and the growth of employees' professional skills involves:

— Obligatory and regular assessment of the personnel's professional qualities;

— Obligatory use of the estimation of professional competencies when making decision about staff promotion, changing their wages, positions and activities, etc.;

— Control over the use of professional skills by the employees in the implementation of particular types of work;

— Differentiation of the growth of professional competence in certain types of work;

— Differentiation of the growth of professional competencies type of work performed.

The differentiation of professional competencies by type of work implies: a) Obligatory and regular assessment of all professionals and workers under control; b) Obligatory use of evaluation results in making decisions about the advancement of employees, changes the payment and bonuses, line of activity, dismissal, etc.; c) Obligatory recommendations made as a result of the evaluation, d) the involvement of specialists and workers in the evaluation and self-evaluation of work; and e) monitoring the use of the personnel, identifying duplication, and eliminating unnecessary links in the control system.

All said above give us the possibility to specify the degree of the influence of vocational labor activity on the development of professional capacity of enterprise workers (Tab. 2).

As a result of the growth of professional competence of employees of enterprises can be: continuous, correlated with the phases of the enterprises life cycle, focused on the implementation of the mission, goals and objectives realization of the enterprise, defined by terms, methods and resources, addressed, considering specific nature and content of the work, resourced; reproducible in view of employee's socio-psychological readiness to changes in the structure and content of the enterprise.

This approach to the development of professional skills of staff caused by the following reasons:

1) motive is the reason of the employee's professional and social activities,

2) the skills defined the qualifications of employee's professional competence,

3) attitudes and values determine the worker's behavior in the industrial sector,

4) knowledge provides the real and potential intellectual qualities of employee's professional competence,

5) social perception is the perception of reality, thereby sustainable workers health focused on the development of the full range of industrial relations can be created.
