The book considers modern methods of stimulating the work of employees in general and employees of coal mines, in particular. The basis of sociological surveys is a list of incentives that motivate the work of these categories of miners. It is shown how to stimulate the work efficiency of not only the workers of the scum, but also a new method of stimulating the activities of the leaders of the working brigades. This technique has been tested on three coal mines of the Donbas. The efficiency of the technique is statistically proved, since after its application, the effectiveness of the production of brigades has increased significantly.
