Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of human resource management of agricultural enterprises under martial law. The main challenges faced by managers in organising labour processes during the crisis period are identified, and ways to adapt personnel policy to emergency conditions are proposed. The necessity of a strategic approach to human resources management to ensure the sustainability and efficiency of agricultural business is substantiated. Analysis of recent research and publications. The subject of human resource management in crises and emergencies was considered in the works of such domestic and foreign scholars as O. Amosha, I. Petrunya, M. Becker, J. Storey, D. Ulrich. Their research covers the issues of adaptive management, strategic HR management, and motivational mechanisms in times of instability. However, most of these studies do not take into account the specifics of the agricultural sector in the context of military conflict, which creates a scientific gap. Identification of previously unresolved parts of the overall problem. Despite the existing developments, insufficient attention has been paid to the practical aspects of human resource management in agricultural enterprises during martial law. The impact of the war on employee motivation, productivity, security aspects of labour relations, and long-term planning of human resources has not been fully explored. These issues need to be studied separately in order to form an effective model of human resource management in crisis conditions, such as martial law.
