Ensuring personnel reliability as a factor of increase of competitiveness

The goal of the article lies in identification of the essence of economic category "personnel competitiveness", marking out the most important factors of influence upon personnel competitiveness and identification of specific ways of increase of personnel competitiveness by means of ensuring reliability of enterprise personnel. While studying and generalising scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists, the article systemises approaches to definition of the "personnel competitiveness" notion. In the result of the study the article identifies factors of influence upon personnel competitiveness, in particular: readiness of an employee to innovations and personnel reliability. The article argues that the degree of personnel reliability significantly depends on the selected technology of professional selection of workers. One of the prospective ways of improvement of the system of professional selection is introduction of special psycho-physiological technologies, including the polygraph ones. It is expedient to conduct further studies in the direction of development of methods of assessment of the level of personnel reliability and construction of regression models of dependence of enterprise competitiveness on the level of personnel reliability.
