Effectiveness of participation in public social partnership: new views and judgments

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the problems of public social partnership, the importance of the participation of the government, society and business in it is highlighted. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the need to study the relations of social partnership and the importance of evaluating the effectiveness of the participation of government, society and business in them. Relations between the partnership actors are developing unpredictably, but the directions of state policy demonstrate the vector that is set in Russian practice. The authors analyze the existing theories in the field of social partnership and highlight the theory of stakeholders. The categories “public social partnership” and “public management of labor resources” are formulated. A system of indicators in the actor context is proposed, which assesses the level of participation of each of the partnership actors in the author’s ideology of evaluating the effectiveness of participation. The authors’ conclusions support the fact that the effectiveness of actors’ participation cannot be assessed without a clear understanding of the social policy mechanisms used, as presented in the Russian regulatory framework.
