Modern labor is characterized by three main features. Firstly - the growth of intellectual potential of work process,which is manifested in evaluation of brainwork, growth of conscious and responsible attitude of a worker to the results of his activity. Secondly - the increase of humanization of working process. Many researches consider as labor productivity growth factors not only the advance of employee qualification or the rise of mechanization level and his
labor automation, but also the state of human`s health, his mood, relations in the family and staff team and in the society in common. This social aspect of labor relations significantly complements the material aspects of labor and plays an important role in the human`s life. Thirdly – according to L.F.Myses, the growing role of the so-called “joy of labor”. Labor itself becomes a way of self-expression and the way of getting pleasure.
It can be noticed that modern labor and its definition differs greatly from the initial phases. In parallel with stage evolution, connected with technological ways, there appeared methods of improvement and remuneration management. At the beginning they were presented as the schemes of piecework earnings calculation. Then there appeared the improvement methods of remuneration of employees on time basis. And finally the methods oriented on the working- out of the systems motivating creativity started to work. So, the great variety of methods with different
targets and conditions of application were collected.
