The problems of Ukraine’s social partnership development draws more and more attention from the representatives of different social layers as the experience of the developed countries in Europe proves the necessity of bringing up the civil behavior emergence for all influence groups representatives. Within the current version of the social and economic development strategies, known as "Ukraine-2015: the national strategy of development" [1, p.3], a string of statements is dedicated to increasing the quality of human capital where the role of transnational partnership of state and business in providing the economics with the knowledge, labour market modernization by means of creating new work places and labour resources mobility is emphasized.
The issue of business’s social responsibility as of an efficient tool of the social partnership, the methodological bases of the business participants’ socially-oriented behavior model establishment are studied by A. Apopii, S. Bai, A. Mazaraki, K. Guturiak, A. Dovhal, O. Hrishnova, A. Kolosok, A. Kolot, S. Korol, Ye. Levytska, A. Carrol, K. Davis, R. Brandshetter [2] and others. The mechanism of social partnership system functioning in Ukraine is procured by the Laws of Ukraine "On the social dialogue in Ukraine", "On the employers’ organizations", "On the collective agreements and treaties", "On the algorithm of resolving collective labour arguments (conflicts)", and also by the regulations of the conventions and the recommendations provided by ILO (International Labour Organization), international ISO 26000 standards, Global Reporting Initiative, AA 1000, SA8000. Nevertheless, it is the analysis and the definition of the interaction mechanism and the trade enterprises partners’ attraction assessment methods in implementing the social projects which require significant development.
According the scientists’ definition, the social partnership is the unity of the legal contact forms and collective negotiations between the authorized parties which represent the employers and the employees [3].
The current stage of the trade enterprises’ social and economic development requires a new approach to social partnership formation where an individual acquires the role of the major factor for the social progress and the economic growth. Aiming at information transparency facilitation for the social partners in the socially-oriented projects implementation, a methodology to assess their choice on the basis of the formed indices and criteria has been suggested. The methodology bears practical value for the efficiency enhancement of the social trade partnership system functioning. The trustworthy influence subjects informing at the industrial level on the successful partnership outcome provides substantial benefits for the public image of the trade enterprises.
