Polysubjectivity as a Category of Sociology of Management

The article substantiates the need to introduce such a general scientific category as “polysubjectivity” into sociology of management, clarifies its sociological content as a category of post-non-classical rationality, shows its role in explaining the institutionalization of management, and highlights the main approaches towards understanding polysubjectivity. A definition of polysubjectivity is given with it being described as a system of regulatory (self-regulatory) mechanisms that reproduce evolutionary forms of socio-cultural formations and lead to the formation and development of social institutions in the context of an increasingly complex polysubject environment. According to the author, this category allows us to describe the diversity and dynamics of the social environment, which is formed in the process of dialogue between controlled subjects who are carriers of various value-target structures, possessing certain resources and being in interaction with other subjects of social action. Polysubjectivity is recognized as the most important reason for changing the social order, as well as a factor in social development, without understanding which it is impossible to increase the viability of the social system. The properties and manifestations of polysubjectivity in the practice of social management are registered. It is proven that polysubjectivity is a condition and at the same time a result of polysubjective management, i. e. management through the environment. Further research prospects for applying the category of polysubjectivity are outlined, in particular, the matter of the universality of polysubjectivity as a factor in the effectiveness of regional development management. Further research prospects for using the category of polysubjectivity are outlined. The author used the results of an interdisciplinary study of polysubjectivity and showed its significance for sociology, as well as the importance of sociological research of polysubjectivity for other social and humanitarian sciences.
