Managemental influence as a key component of effective management in the conditions of socio-economic transformations

Abstract

For ensuring the effective management of organizations in the context of modern socio-economic transformations and crisis phenomena, it is of paramount importance to understand the mechanisms of managerial influence that are fundamental for organizational adaptation, resilience, and competitiveness. The aim of the article is to analyze contemporary scientific approaches to interpreting the concept of “managerial influence”, to delineate its principal characteristics, and to conduct a comparative analysis with the concepts of “administration” and “management”. 

In order to achieve this aim, the authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of the literature, including works by both domestic and international scholars. This approach allowed for the identification of various interpretations of managerial influence as a purposeful process of interaction between the management subject and the object, executed through a wide spectrum of methods, techniques, and instruments. The article demonstrates that the current systematization of the concepts “administration”, “management”, and “managerial influence” is insufficient thereby creating prerequisites for further improvement of the managerial decision-making toolkit. 

The study elucidates the main characteristics of managerial influence and demonstrates its role in enhancing organizational efficiency and adaptability. It proposes generalized authorial definitions and characteristics for the concepts of “administration”, “management”, and “managerial influence”. The research findings underscore the importance of developing and implementing a toolkit aimed at enhancing managerial influence to achieve sustainability, adaptation, and the successful functioning of organizations in a dynamic environment. 

The obtained results indicate the necessity of devising an integrated methodology for assessing and augmenting managerial influence, which would facilitate a more effective adaptation of organizations to uncertainty and rapidly changing external conditions. The relevance of the study lies in its potential to introduce innovative approaches into both scientific research and managerial practice, thereby contributing to the enhancement of organizational capacity and the competitive positioning of economic entities.
