Abstract

The article is staged and designed to find theoretical and methodological grounds for identifying and analyzing unified factors that contribute to the organization of an effective communication management space in the regions of Russia. The article systematizes existing sociological approaches to the concept of the social agent. It provides dictionary definitions of terms "agent" and "actor", which are often used interchangeably in academic literature. Through a theoretical analysis of works by international scientists there were identified three unified models of the social agent: the individual actor; the collective actor (subject); an intermediate type combining individual and collective aspects. This typology is applied to analyze contemporary managerial agents (practitioners) involved in the development and implementation of strategic state programs (the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development, National Projects, etc.). The described models of social agent interaction contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms forming the communicative space of management, as well as processes of unification and diversification in organization and formation of its structure. This article proposes a methodological approach to analyzing the properties of practitioners in the contemporary field of management. Based on a qualitative analysis of official documents, key characteristics of managers as social agents have been identified and unified, allowing preliminary conclusions about their role in the processes of strategic and spatial development of Russia. This article's methodology for analyzing the properties of the social agents provides a foundation for future research assessing the potential standardization of management strategies across Russia. The authors emphasize the need for further research into regional characteristics, including sociocultural ones, for a more complete understanding of this issue.
