The article proposes ways to improve the system of motivation and work stimulation in the medical institution based on the results of assessing the level of satisfaction of employees. The evaluation of the level of satisfaction of employees with the system of motivation and labor incentives showed that employees are not completely satisfied with it. Thus, only 20% of respondents were completely satisfied with it. Among the methods of financial and material stimulation, the majority of employees recognized traditional stimulation in the form of a high level of wages in the first place, and in the second place – additional benefits from the institution: payments for education, trainings, seminars, medication, rest. Also, employees expressed a desire to increase the level of motivational influence of monetary incentives in the form of additional payments for the achieved performance indicators. Among the types of non-monetary financial incentives, employees voted for having their own sports and health center. Based on the assessment, policies for improving the system of motivation and labor stimulation were developed. The introduced scale of allowances for achieving high indicators according to the criteria of labor and innovative activity was presented. Labor activity criteria characterize the quality of performance of professional duties by a medical worker. The criteria of innovative activity characterize the intentions of employees regarding their professional development, as well as innovative effectiveness in the form of the number of proposals made and implemented in the medical institution where a particular employee works. When implementing the proposed incentive scales based on the criteria of labor and innovative activities, it is possible to make the remuneration dependent on the level of achievement of indicators for each of the activity groups. Also, according to the evaluation results, it is proposed to open a sports and health center, which is a non-monetary incentive for employees and shows that the management of the institution cares about the health of employees, which is an important motivating factor. Thus, improving the system of motivation and stimulation of work based on the assessment of the level of satisfaction of employees will contribute to the hospital obtaining various types of effects, namely: economic, organizational-management and social, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the analyzed institution.

The article identifies the place of search work of the investigator in the structure of cognitive activity during criminal proceedings. A quick, complete and impartial investigation is impossible without the proper organization of the investigator's search work. Different views of scientists concerning cognitive activity in the investigation of crimes were analyzed in the article. The place is identified and the concept of search work of the investigator is revealed. The investigation of criminal offenses is a cognitive process that takes the form of evidence. Meanwhile, the evidence does not "lie on the surface", it must be found (identified), recorded and seized with the established procedural procedure. Thus, the search aspect is constantly present in the work of the investigator, which, in our opinion, is reflected in the concept of "investigative (search) actions", which was introduced by the CPC of Ukraine in 2012. But at the same time there are tasks of purely investigative can be solved only through the use of certain methods and by means of operational and search activities (OSA), which determines the appropriate forms of interaction between the investigator and operational units. There are a number of problematic issues in this case. The procedure and form of conducting procedural actions, including investigative (search) are regulated by criminal procedural legislation, and the assignment of any of them to the number of search activity in each case is determined by the nature of the committed action and the investigative situation. The search activity of the investigator may be carried out by the investigator directly or indirectly (by giving instructions to operational units on conducting covert investigative (search) actions, organizational-technical or operative-search measures of search nature). The search work of an investigator in the structure of criminal procedure should be considered as one aimed at finding evidence – it is a wide range of search and cognitive measures used in investigative (search) actions. At the same time, there are search tasks that are solved by applying the methods and tools of OSA. The investigator solves these tasks by means of giving the instructions to operative units, which provides for the need to develop and normative consolidation of the most effective forms of such interaction.
