Organizational and personnel mechanism of enterprise economic security

The article considers the theoretical and methodological foundations of the organizational and personnel mechanism of economic security for enterprises, which is considered an important element in ensuring the stable functioning of a company in the face of external and internal threats. The purpose of the research is to systematize existing approaches and improve the theoretical and methodological support for the economic security of enterprises in terms of the personnel component. Based on the analysis of contemporary scientific approaches to economic security issues, emphasis is placed on the personnel component, which is a key factor in effective personnel management and protecting the enterprise from risks. The research substantiates the need to develop a personnel security system in conditions of increased competition and an unstable economic situation. Its key aspects are presented, such as human resource management, professional development of employees, increasing their qualifications, and the development of an effective motivation system. It is revealed that personnel security directly influences the economic sustainability and competitiveness of the enterprise, protecting against external environmental threats. The main components of ensuring personnel security for the enterprise are identified: organizational structure, personnel management system, motivation and stimulation, information security, internal control and audit system, regulatory and legal support, risk management, and continuous learning and qualification improvement of employees. The study justifies the main principles of personnel security, including compliance, threat prevention, comprehensiveness, legality, confidentiality, and flexibility. Special attention is paid to the risk management system, monitoring of personnel threats, and the development of corporate culture. The proposed organizational and personnel mechanism is a novel approach to ensuring economic security, effectively using resources, and increasing the enterprise’s competitiveness in modern conditions. Unlike existing ones, they are based on the principles and goals of personnel security. The practical value of the mechanism lies in its focus on human capital; it encompasses all stages of personnel work, namely selection, development, and motivation of personnel, ensuring information security and legal protection for employees.
