Staffing of Ukrainian Farms as a Guarantee of their Innovative Development

The scientific basis for the study of the modern peculiarities of farming economy was the theory of a non-hired, family-labor economy, formulated by A. V. Chayanov. This theory justifies a clear relationship between the nature of economic activity and the specifics of social processes in farming.

The scientific principles of the factor-rotation concept of economic development were laid in the basis of the development of directions for the formation of a personnel support system for representatives of the agricultural sector of Ukrainian economy. This concept considers economic growth as the result of the interaction of three basic factors: “Man”, “Nature” and “Capital”.

In the process of research, the interrelation between the level of education of the heads of farms and the degree of effectiveness of their functioning have been proved.
