Abstract

The article examines the success of companies depending on the quality of human resources and the organizational structure of their management. Based on the structure of human potential, the work highlights the processes that reduce it; the values of work of employees of the studied companies are ranked: work as a means of subsistence, communication with colleagues, confidence in the future, the installation "work as the main value in life", the possibility of creative growth. Problems in the field of personnel management are identified in two areas: composition of employees; performance management of staff. To improve the work of managers in the studied companies, it is proposed to implement a comprehensive program. It should include the following areas: changing the management structure, where job responsibilities are clearly reallocated; reviewing job descriptions in order to regulate employee responsibilities, support the most effective technology; and building organizational commitment of staff. The organizational structure of the studied trading firms should be made problem-oriented. Changing the structure will allow to: create additional links that deal with strategic planning; organize production and sales, improve quality, and develop production; the line manager will be able to delegate authority on certain issues and tasks.The proposed problem-oriented management structure, which has the advantages of all organizational structures, has no obvious disadvantages. It provides a high level of specialization of employees, performing a specific function; it is combined with the structure of the management system, is easy to form and operate, and is adaptive to changes. We suggest evaluating the effectiveness of human resource management when changing the organizational structure of management by the level of management decisions of organizations.
