“…Since the implementation of the principle of social justice and social inequality have become more acute in recent decades [10], Evaluating the performance of employees on the basis of the common principles recognized by the world professional community of managers [ 17; 20] has become the basic value of Sberbank. On January 1, 2013, the Performance and Reward Section was created in Sberbank's Retail Business.…”

The key to the success of the new industrialization of Russia is financial system meeting the requirements of advanced development. The article summarizes the unique experience of state-owned PJSC Sberbank in the adaptation of front-office staff to a digital organization working conditions. The system of measures implemented by Sberbank to form new professional competencies in front-office employees was studied. Attention is paid to the current technological opportunities and risks in labor motivation management of the bank front-office staff. The methods of economic and statistical analysis, survey and included observation were used. Taking into account the fact that Sberbank holds the leading position in the field of work with front-office staff, it's important to observe this work within the framework of new industrialization of Russia. The annual engagement surveys involving more than 100 000 employees (published in the annual reports) as well as the economic performance of PJSC Sberbank proved the effectiveness of the established system of development of bank employees labor potential. The results of the study suggest that there is a limit to the employee engagement growth, by which one can get the opposite effect.

Digital transformation influenced not only economic branches and markets, but also people’s quality of life in different regions of the country. The purpose of the research is to evaluate people’s digital quality of life and to define its interconnection with investment capabilities of Russian regions. The authors measure digital component of people’s quality of life with a regional index including six subindices (digital skills of people, availability of digital goods for people, digital quality of working life, social sphere and services, state electronic services and safety of people informational activities). These subindices based on data from the regions of the Russian Federation were used to define the level of people’s life digitalization and to estimate the digital inequality with the application of R/P ratios and variation ratios during 2015 – 2018. This period corresponds to available data on information society and digital economy in Russian statistics. For all years of the considered period the first position is taken by safety of people informational activities and the last place belongs to digital quality of working life, social sphere and services. Digital inequality, based on four subindices, increased during 2015 – 2018. Results of research obtained with the use of econometric methods show complete or partial confirmation of connection: it is positive for investment potential indicators and the Russian regional index of digital component of people’s quality of life and its subindices. Government expenditures on the digital economy program in Russia have the worst result among other national projects. During the process of digitalization it is desirable to unite government investments, household expenditures and firm investments in order to improve regional programs performance and cope with possible disproportions.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the possibility of adequate mathematical modeling of property inequality in a stratified society based on an agent approach, taking into account the unequal (rank) exchange between agents with different socio-economic status. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks:1. To develop minimum criteria for the adequacy of mathematical models of socio-economic inequality.2. To substantiate the advantages of mathematical models based on an agent approach using rank exchange.3. To present the author’s version of the mathematical model of the goods’ movement in society based on an agent approach, taking into account rank exchange.4. To check the author’s mathematical model for compliance with the minimum qualitative criteria of adequacy and to create a quantitatively coinciding with the real distribution of the country’s population of the Russian Federation by income.5. Determine the limitations of the developed mathematical model by the authors.Materials and methods. The paper used statistical data from Rosstat, the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, the World Bank, the US Bureau of the Census, the Edelman Trust Barometer, as well as data published by domestic and foreign researchers of inequality. These data were compared with the results of inequality calculations obtained using the mathematical model of the goods’ movement in society based on an agent approach, taking into account rank (nonequivalent) exchange.Results. The minimum criteria that any adequate model of stratification of society must meet are defined: 1. reveals a lognormal distribution of the population by income with a heavy tail; 2. reflects in long-term historical retrospect the trend of inequality growth; 3. demonstrates a short-term reduction of inequality during periods of socio-economic crises.The proposed model meets these requirements, it demonstrates not only qualitative, but also quantitative adequacy – reproduces by calculation the curve of the actual distribution of Russian society by income.Common concepts of inequality, in particular, the theory of superstars or skill-based technological change do not allow achieving such a result. The limitations of the created mathematical model are shown:– the impossibility of creating an adequate Lorentz curve with insufficient computing power;– inability to describe changes in cross-country inequality, since countries are not subjects of rank exchange, although interstate agreements certainly have an impact on the exchange between economic subjects of social interaction;– inability to describe situations of absolute poverty, i.e. long-term decline in income, although in the real economy such situations are sometimes observed;– the endless growth of inequality over time, whereas in reality economic processes of inequality growth are always opposed by social processes of counteraction to this growth.Conclusion. The mechanism of spontaneous emergence and growth of income (property) inequality as an inevitable consequence of market relations is demonstrated.The agent-based approach, taking into account the rank exchange, can allow identifying critical moments in time, after which extraordinary economic and socio-political consequences will have an irreversible character, and can also help in studying the influence of individual behavior of economic agents of different levels on the evolution of the entire economic, and as a consequence, socio-political system.The results obtained will be useful for strategic planning, when developing target indexes for the socio-economic development of regions and the country as a whole, and improving the methodology for calculating key performance indexes for civil servants
