Abstract

Introduction. Modern conditions, characterized by rapid innovative changes, numerous challenges, and serious threats, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine, significantly affect the formation and use of the socio-labor potential of the regions. Existing research methodologies in this area often do not sufficiently take into account the complex effect of these factors. This necessitates their improvement for an adequate assessment and prediction of the development of the socio-labor potential of the regions in the new realities.


Purpose. The aim of the article is to reveal the methodological aspects of researching the socio-labor potential of the region in the context of modern innovative changes, challenges and threats.  


Results. The evolution of scientific approaches to the study of the socio-labor potential of regions has been analyzed, which reflects a gradual transition from descriptive to complex, systemic and interdisciplinary analysis. A definition of the socio-labor potential of the region is proposed: it is an integral set of opportunities of the region's human resources that can be used and developed in the process of labor (economic) activity and social interaction under the influence of internal and external conditions. The component composition of the socio-labor potential of the region, the key influencing factors that affect its formation and use in the context of innovative changes, challenges and threats are revealed. The essence of the research methodology of the socio-labor potential of the region as a complex system of scientific principles, approaches, methods and tools used for a comprehensive study, analysis, evaluation and forecasting of the development of human resources within a specific region is highlighted. It is determined that currently there is a process of changes and adaptation of the methodology to the realities of the war. A methodological approach to the development of a strategy for the development of the socio-labor potential of the region in the post-war period is proposed, which can serve as a guide for the development of specific strategies and programs for the development of the socio-labor potential of the Cherkasy region and other regions of Ukraine.


The prospects for the development of the research methodology of the socio-labor potential of the region after the war are revealed. These prospects lie in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research methods, the priority use of modern methods of data collection and analysis, in particular big data, artificial intelligence methods and geoinformation systems, the spread of predictive methods that will allow predicting trends in the further development of socio-labor potential and developing effective strategies for human resource management in a specific region.


Originality. For the first time, the specifics of changes and adaptation of the research methodology of the socio-labor potential of the region at the stage of military operations and after the war are identified. The systematization of key factors influencing the formation and use of the socio-labor potential of the region in the context of innovative changes, challenges and threats has been developed. The methodological approach to developing a strategy for the development of the socio-labor potential of the region in the post-war period has been improved.


Conclusion. The development and improvement of the research methodology of the socio-labor potential of the region should be considered as a key factor in the successful management of human potential and ensuring effective social interaction, especially in the context of innovative changes, challenges and threats. The research methodology of the socio-labor potential of the region should become more flexible and adaptable to the rapid changes and uncertainties of the post-war period. Further research in this direction should be aimed at developing integrated approaches that take into account the complexity and multidimensionality of the socio-labor potential of the region, as well as ensuring the practical focus of the results obtained to address the current problems of regional development.
