Management of knowledge of labor as a manifestation of the entrepreneurial competence of the employee in a competitive environment

The article presents a new vision of the labor behavior of an employee as a subject of competence of management of utility of the labor activity knowledge in a competitive environment. Solving the problem of disclosing the substantive aspects of competence and achieving the corresponding goal was carried out using a combination of methods: dialectic, systemic, mental experiment method, modeling method, logical methods and, accordingly, using elements of the dialectic, teleological systemic, competence approaches, and the principle of inconsistency. From the point of view of the principle of inconsistency, the phenomenon of knowledge of one's own labor activity (KOOLA) is revealed. KOOLA is understood as a set of labor actions of the employee, optimized for their usefulness and reflecting the knowledge of the employee on the labor activity in general. KOOLA is shown as consisting of its various parties, because in the process of formalization it is differentiated into many parts - labor actions knowledge, which are determined by the subject of competence in terms of total and marginal utility. In this sense, an employee can act as an entrepreneur, where purposefully exercising the management of the utility of KOOLA, involving the consumption of labor actions knowledge with greater or lesser utility, also leads to greater competitiveness in the conditions of market relations and labor interaction with other competing employees, as subjects of KOOLA and, potentially, subjects of competence. The results obtained in this work can be used in further studies of the potential of entrepreneurial competence of managing of KOOLA from the point of view of employee competitiveness, and can also be recommended for use, as part of the existing system of general and special education to prepare a modern competitive specialist, and in terms of corporate training to improve the competitiveness of the labor behavior of employees.
