Введение. Расширение административных полномочий сотрудников центров специального образования представляет большой интерес, поскольку касается вопросов изменения подходов к организационному управлению в системе специального (коррекционного) образования, что, в свою очередь, оказывает влияние на успех и устойчивость деятельности таких центров. Цель. Исследование направлено на количественную оценку того, в какой степени расширение административных полномочий сотрудников путем предоставления им автономии, ресурсов и прав для принятия решений и действий влияет на повышение производительности их труда и результатов организации в целом. Методология, методы и методики. Для достижения цели исследования был использован метод корреляционного опроса. Были разработаны две анкеты. Первая представляла собой вопросник, в котором рассматривались передаваемые сотрудникам административные полномочия, а вторая использовалась для оценки эффективности работы после расширения административных полномочий. В исследовании на добровольной основе приняли участие 112 работников центров специального образования. Результаты. Результаты исследования показали, что существует положительная корреляционная связь между расширением административных полномочий у сотрудников и ростом производительности труда в центре. В то же время были выявлены различия в эффективности работы сотрудников по ряду переменных (пол, стаж, академическая квалификация, посещение курсов повышения квалификации). Научная новизна. Исследование способствовало выявлению ключевых факторов, которые способны повысить эффективность работы специальных образовательных центров в интересах поддержки учащихся с особыми потребностями. Практическая значимость. Результаты исследования будут интересны ученым и педагогам, работающим в системе специального (коррекционного) образования.

Introduction. Administrative empowerment in special education centres is of great interest because it involves changing approaches to organisational management in the system of special (correctional) education. This, in turn, impacts the success and sustainability of the activities of such centres. Aim. The present research aimed to quantify the extent to which employees in special education centres felt empowered by their supervisors and how that empowerment correlated with their job productivity. Methodology and research methods. To achieve the research objective, the authors utilised the correlational survey method and created two questionnaires. The first questionnaire examined the administrative empowerment transferred to staff members. The second questionnaire was administered to assess the employees’ job performance following the implementation of administrative empowerment. 112 employees of special education centres participated in the study voluntarily. Results. The results of the study showed a positive correlation between administrative empowerment and the growth of labour productivity in the centre. At the same time, there were differences in job performance based on variables such as gender, years of experience, academic qualifications, and attendance at training courses. Scientific novelty. The study identified key factors that can enhance job performance in special education centres to support students with special needs. Practical significance. The research findings will be of interest to academics, scholars, and educators working in the field of special education.
