MORAL AND SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS OF YOUTH POLICY IN REAL SECTOR OF ECONOMY

Abstract

Introduction. The basic contradiction between market relations and social sphere is distinguished from the main sources of negative phenomena among young people and failures in realization of youth policy. Substitution of social production goals by its means, a sharp distortion towards a primacy of market economy with its only indicator of success in the form of money deform a process of formation of a personality of a young specialist both in professional, and in sociocultural plans. As a rule, management teams of enterprises expect the generation of young workers to possess initiative and role behaviour which consists in highly skilled independent performance of production functions. At the same time, creative importance of "Person - Person" relations is underestimated. In this regard, questions of social-moral education of young personnel are brought into focus, whereas providing and further increase in competitiveness of production in many respects depends on their decision. The aim of the present article is to conceptualize spiritual and moral foundations of youth policy implementation in a real sector of the economy. Methodology and research methods. The research methodology involves a comprehensive application of anthropological, ontological and axiological approaches. Dialectical method, method of historical and logical unity, statistical and comparative data analyses are used. Results and scientific novelty. Spiritual and moral characteristics of young workers which formation demands system educational measures are one of the most important development provisions of enterprises in new social and economic reality. The questions of realization of youth policy in real sector of economy, including Sverdlovsk region, are considered. The following concepts and aspects are analyzed from social and philosophical perspectives: the concept "spirituality"; features of mental phase of psychology and spiritual stages of consciousness; the concept "perfection" as a source of spirit; "spirit" as the ideal gene of socialization and foundation of mental health; "morality" as a source of human community and creative practice. It is stated that all directions and forms of work with youth at the enterprises have to promote formation of high spiritual and moral qualities; a person can not take place neither as a citizen, nor as an expert without having reached necessary spiritual level. Morality expands the horizon of consciousness of young people, allows them to understand social importance of common collective affairs; attainment of professional honour and responsibility for the results of own work by a worker are impossible without morality. Practical significance. Work organization of industrial enterprises for development and deployment of ethical codes and norms, implementation of special programs of moral education of working youth with attraction for this purpose of various experts (doctors, psychologists, sociologists, theologians, etc.) will surely turn back positive social and economic effect: increase in economic stability of an enterprise (also region and country in general); considerable reduction of turnover of staff; reduction of cases of industrial injuries; decrease in number of violations of labour discipline; absence without leave, and other deviations in behaviour of young workers. The materials and results of the investigation can be used as follows: organization of work with youth in real sector of economy; development of social technologies and science-based recommendations for the implementation of corporate youth policy; process of teaching of social philosophy, sociology, social psychology, management of professional career.
