Abstract
The object of research, the results of which are analyzed in the article, are employees of a number of industries with harmful production, where the risks are fixed at the legislative level. This category is commonly referred to as «risk consumers». The empirical base consists of data 27th «waves» (2018) «The Russian Monitoring of Economic Situation and Population Health, HSE (RLMS-HSE)».
The purpose of the study was to identify factors that may be related to, or even determine, interaction strategies with changes in the social environment of employees of harmful industries. In the aggregate of employees of industries with harmful working conditions, two target groups were formed: those who actually experience harmful effects of risk factors and-conditionally, after working in an industry with harmful production («real» and «conditional» risk consumers). The methodological approach to data analysis in the article is based on the basic attitude of respondents about the strategy of behavior in a situation of risk imposed by the external environment. The preferred strategy of respondents’ behavior in each target group is determined. Further analysis is devoted to identifying signs and factors that can explain the fact that «real risk consumers» are mainly passive adaptants, «conditional risk consumers» are not just active, but actionly-active adaptants.
The main conclusion that the analysis allows to make is that the level of adaptation of employees of harmful industries in the social environment and in the sphere of work to a greater extent than personal factors affects the choice of passive or active behavior in a situation of risk imposed by the environment.
