Personnel Shortage or Competition in the Labor Market among Retail Chains
The article deals with the topical issue of the shortage of labor resources in the field of trade. The study is based on the results of an expert assessment of the proposed working conditions for job seekers of four large federal retail chains of Yekaterinburg. The results were obtained empirically, as an experiment on the employment of a secret candidate. It was revealed that the level of staff turnover in retail chains and the acuteness of the situation with the selection of personnel are largely influenced by the subjective assessment of the applicants for the employer, rather than the equal level of wages, as well as the deformation of working conditions. The results of the study can be useful in the implementation of personnel policy and the formation of an effective system for managing and retaining labor resources of retail chains.
