Abstract

The objective of this study is to create the methodology and methods of assessing the labor intensity in terms of time expenses for the conduct of research in the energy complex that has the creative component. For this purpose, the line of tasks was solved, including the following: the determination of creative labor as the norming object was given; the apparatus of the complexity theory, according to which, labor intensity is calculated under the labor product complexity, was adapted; fuzzy expert model, allowing to interpret the labor product linguistic assessments in numeric terms, was developed. The relevance is connected with the high level of labor norming importance, both in economic terms, statutory regulation in the field of labor legislation, and in social terms. The worktime standards justified are not only a tool of labor productivity increase but also allow providing the fair labor remuneration and uniformity of load on staff. Nevertheless, the lack of work in the area of creative work norming and work with the unique result. This paper describes the approach to assessing the labor intensity of creative work, which can include research work, in terms of the complexity theory, that is, based on the labor product complexity assessment. In connection with the fact that the product of creative and research work is the “new knowledge”, the fuzzy expert model was developed for their complexity assessment. It enables the quantitative interpretation of the “labor product” - “new knowledge” qualitative assessments in terms of the required competences for implementation of the respective work, prospectivity and novelty of creative work results. Based on the approach offered, the dependence of labor intensity in terms of work fulfillment duration on the complexity of the forecasted “labor product” for research, development, and engineering in the energy sector was obtained. The dependence obtained is an instrument for assessing interim labor costs for the fulfillment of unique projects. It determines the practical importance of this study. Its results can be used at planning research, development, and engineering, their labor intensity assessment, and the determination of compensation for labor.
