Abstract

This article presents the results of implementing another stage of exploratory research on the development of the technology used for typological analysis of employees with the aim of reconstructing social types among them, which are interpreted as objects of functional management. The previous stages’ results are reflected in the main cycle consisting of three online publications on the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ official website. The first study presented a basis for the conceptual model of measuring one’s identification with an enterprise, as well as the tools used for surveying workers. The second one presented diagrams used to compile indices for measuring type-forming features with the aim of reducing primary data, their imputation (recovery), as well as reducing variables (which are the source for multidimensional analysis) to an equal interval of change. The third one presented an iterative multidimensional classification procedure, together with a method used to identify controllable factors of work, as well as the logic used to distinguish typological syndromes. This article discusses the correlation between subjectively evaluating everyday life non-working environments and attributing workers to certain typological groups based on the nature of their identification with a company. Special attention is paid to the information content of such values as indicators of employee social adaptation in accordance with the purpose of reconstructing social types as objects of functional management.
