METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO ASSESS PERSONNEL READINESS FOR INNOVATIVE PROCESSES BY THE EXAMPLE OF EXPORT-ORIENTED BIOTECHNOLOGICAL ENTERPRISE

Objective. The personnel’s readiness for innovations by the example of Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Sera and Manufacturer of Bacterial Preparations (parent company) and a foreign enterprise – the Latin American Institute of Biotechnology MECHNIKOV (Republic of Nicaragua) was assessed.

Material and methods. The source information was collected from 727 respondents through a questionnaire survey. The method was passed by psychometric test using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the responses of management and ordinary personnel was implemented using Student's t-test.

Results. Organizational and methodological approaches to assessing the readiness of personnel for innovative processes have been developed. The approaches include diagnostic measures in the form of a questionnaire which allows to assess the readiness of personnel for innovations, and development of methodological support in the form of conversation on personnel development to identify the potential and determine the prospects for the promotion of existing employees, as well as to establish the needs for training and development of personnel in the context of the implementation of innovations in the organization.

Conclusion. The results obtained make it possible to determine the required management goals and functions, and to develop a strategy for managing personnel in the context of knowledge and technologies transfer in the implementation of the pharmaceutical enterprise export policy.
