Introduction. At a time of global economic, social, cultural and political change, it is particularly important to monitor the sustainability of socially important institutions in rapidly changing spheres. Beyond any doubt, the field of science has a special role to play in innovative transformation.The aim of the present sociological research is to establish the degree of compliance of the personal, collective and institutional levels of innovative restructuring of Russian science with the challenges of an innovative society. The consistency and integrity of functioning of these levels is one of the key conditions for the professional self-realisation of a modern scientist.Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the study is the integral individual-system paradigm, which considers the agent of action in the system of rules and resources, limiting the range of choice in the system. Empirical data were collected through an expert semi-formalised survey of researchers in 21 entities of the Russian Federation. The sample (N = 640) consisted of respondents engaged in technical, natural, humanitarian, social and philosophical spheres, higher education system, centres of the Russian Academy of Sciences and state management structures.Results and scientific novelty. The institutionalisation of social practices is represented as a synthesis of the field of individual intentions and rules of interaction established in the social field. At the intersection of these fields, standardised social interaction schemes are being transformed and new behaviours and actions are emerging.The present research for the first time applied a three-level model of institutionalisation of science in an innovative environment, which allowed correlating the personal, organisational and systemic factors of disclosure of the intellectual potential of the scientist. Moreover, this resulted in identifying the existing contradictions between the personal motivation of agents of scientific activity and mechanisms, which structure the work of scientific organisations and the system of indicators of their effectiveness approved by the state. The survey data demonstrated stable motivation of Russian scientists for professional self-realisation and active scientific search, based on personal responsibility, understanding of the social significance of their research, or less frequently based on the membership of a successful team. However, serious institutional barriers have been identified to optimise the working conditions of scientists. The institutional barriers include: the administrative difficulties of establishing strong professional links with production, social and power structures; the lack of opportunities to participate in global scientific discourse; the narrow functionality of scientific organisations as an intermediate link between scientists and the state; the reluctance of expert scientific community to develop the criteria and indicators of the quality of scientific activity; the non-compliance of these indicators with innovative priorities and goals, etc.Practical significance. The research results and proposals can be used to adjust the state policy of the Russian Federation and the principles of management of the organisation in accordance with the innovative priorities of the society.

Аннотация. Цель работы -раскрыть образовательные механизмы формирования личности управленца, способного оперировать интеллектуаль-ным капиталом на всех уровнях деятельности, использовать инновационные компетентности при регулировании социальных, организационных процессов и при решении нестандартных проблем. Такой специалист должен обладать знаниями о современных методах и факторах эффективного управления, о человеческих потребностях и профессиональных установках.В статье рассматривается инструментарий социального управления ор-ганизацией в инновационной среде, ядром которого является конструирова-ние системы ценностей, интегрирующей интеллектуальную деятельность со-трудников в единое смысловое информационное пространство, способствую-щее социокультурному развитию различных социальных групп и институтов.Методы. В качестве эмпирической базы исследования использованы социологические методы экспертного опроса в форме глубинного интервью. В процессе интерпретации и анализа данных применялись методы когнитив-ного моделирования. Выводы сделаны с опорой на диалектический метод единства противоположностей.Результаты. Выделены характеристики управленцев, способных моби-лизовать интеллектуальные кадровые ресурсы организаций, стимулируя при этом потенциал саморазвития и самореализации сотрудников. Предложены интегральные показатели деятельности субъектов управления по созданию ус-ловий и системы взаимодействий, способствующих актуализации инноваци-онных ценностей в организации для повышения эффективности ее деятель-ности в соответствии с поставленными целями.

The paper reveals the methodology of conducting a sociological study of the distance learning institutionalization in a law school, describes the main conclusions of an applied study on the effectiveness of implementing digital distance learning technologies in the educational process, traces the relationship between various educational strategies and the success of using digital technologies in new learning environments. The study reveals the factors of successful adaptation of technologies to the needs of students and teachers, analyzes the barriers to institutionalization, and provides recommendations for effective expansion of the use of distance learning technologies. The accuracy of the results of the sociological research is justified by a large sample of the survey, which included more than 1200 respondents, and the typology of respondents into three clusters: teachers, students, and support staff. In each cluster, a typology was carried out, which made it possible to identify different practices of using digital technologies during distance learning. The empirical material was collected in August 2020, which determines the relevance of the conclusions.
