The article analyses part of the results of a survey of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan aged 17 and over, conducted in October-November 2020 as part of the study "Quality of Employment and Human Development". The volume of the analysed subsample of employees is 898 people. It is correct for employees of the Republic by gender, age, place of residence. The subject of the analysis is the influence of labour factors on the perception of work and personal life as balanced or unbalanced among employees. The main objective of the article is to test the hypothesis that the low quality of employment contributes to the formation of a sense of imbalance and dissatisfaction with work and life in general. The results showed that the hypothesis was generally confirmed. A number of features of employment that characterise it as low quality increase the proportion of those who feel an imbalance in work and personal life. These include: work without formal employment (informal employment); work not in the specialty; negative labour practices (delays at work, working on weekends, doing work at home during non-working hours, performing work functions in a state of illness, restrictions taking care of one's health due to work). Negative subjective characteristics of labour activity also contribute to an increase in the level of imbalance between work and the rest of life: dissatisfaction with working conditions, its safety, psychological climate, technical equipment, sanitary and hygienic conditions; perception of the place of work as the one of the injustice, insecurity and as the one where it is difficult to defend one's rights; non-compliance by the employer with the terms of the employment contract. In part, the imbalance contributes to the instability of employment, the possibility of losing a job. One of the results of the study is the conclusion that the feeling of balance/imbalance is associated with subjective assessments of work and personal life, they are more negative in the group with imbalance and more positive in the group with balance. Differences are especially evident in assessments of work as bringing pleasure and moral satisfaction, in assessments of life as one in which it was possible to achieve everything that one wanted.

The article describes the results of the sociological study Quality of employment and human development, implemented in the Republic of Bashkortostan in October-December 2020. The qualitative characteristics of the socio-labor sphere of the region are analyzed: access to employment, working conditions, guarantees of labor standards and human rights, opportunities for development and self-realization, productivity and economic efficiency. The views and assessments of key subjects of the labor market are shown: employers, self-employed and employees; the impact of the pandemic on the situation and social well-being of employees; the extent of the prevalence of certain signs of precarious labor in Bashkortostan. The results of the study showed that the Republic of Bashkortostan has not remained aloof from global and national transformations in the field of labor and the trends of increasing unstable, unstable and unprotected jobs and labor relations. Differences in the perception of the sphere of work by employers and other social groups are revealed. At the same time, all social groups, including employers, are in solidarity with the fact that it is currently difficult to find a stable / reliable job with a decent salary, as well as with the fact that the development of an employee is, first of all, his / her own prerogative. Such a public consensus in the assessments of the sphere of work indicates the existence of deep gaps in ensuring the quality of employment and social and labor guarantees. For example, more than a quarter of the surveyed employees do not believe that an employee has the opportunity to defend his / her rights and interests in conflicts with the employer. Violation of the fundamental rights of employees, in our opinion, is dissonant with the main principle of social and economic progress of society and is a significant deterrent to the implementation of Russias strategic goals and objectives.
