Reflections on Ideological and Political Work

Ideological and political work in enterprises is the political advantage of our party, which plays a very positive role in mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees and promoting the development of enterprises. In the critical period of China's reform and development, especially in the process of establishing and perfecting the socialist market economic system, enterprises must deepen internal reform, change their operating mechanisms, go to the market, and truly become independent, conceited, self-disciplined and self-developed commodity producers and operators. Under the new situation of profound adjustment of various economic interests, rapid development of various economic components, profound changes in people's ideas and diversified values, it will inevitably bring many new problems to the ideological and political work of enterprises. Compared with the traditional ideological and political work in enterprises in the past, many changes have taken place in the main contents, methods and working objects. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee just held put forward the goal of building a harmonious socialist society. In this unprecedented social change, how to meet the challenge and actively explore new ways of ideological and political work in enterprises under the conditions of socialist market economy is an important topic to be solved urgently.

First, the main contents of ideological and political work in enterprises under the conditions of market economy.

In short, the thinking of enterprise ideological and political work refers to the guiding ideology and strategic policy of enterprise ideological and political work. Its main contents are:

First of all, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents are used to unify the thinking of all employees, which is the basis of ideological and political work in enterprises. In the process of establishing and perfecting the socialist market economic system, enterprises are changing, and the ideological values and behavior patterns of employees are also changing, which may lead to many new situations and problems that we have never seen before. Therefore, it is urgent to resolve contradictions, straighten out emotions and unite people through ideological and political work in enterprises. At present, ideological and political work in enterprises should arm workers' minds with the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee, help them to renew their concepts, enhance their sense of responsibility, establish a series of new concepts that are compatible with the market economic system, promote the smooth development of deepening reform, transforming management mechanism and production and operation activities, and continuously improve the economic benefits of enterprises. Specifically, first, we should help the broad masses of workers deeply understand the spiritual essence and profound connotation of the 16th National Congress and the 4th, 5th and 6th Plenary Sessions of the 16th National Congress, and arm all the workers with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory and Theory of Three Represents. Under the condition of market economy system, ideological and political work in enterprises should aim at employees' various mentalities, help them understand the content, essence and connotation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory through ideological education, eliminate doubts, enhance market awareness, give play to the role of masters, and thus enhance the cohesion and competitiveness of enterprises. Second, we must firmly grasp the party's basic line of "one center and two basic points" to serve the production and operation of enterprises. Under the new situation, the ideological work of enterprises should be aimed at the ideological reality of employees in the process of production, operation and management, so that the ideological and political work of enterprises can truly penetrate into all aspects of production, operation and management, give full play to the role of protection, turn virtual into real, and turn intangible into tangible.

Second, it is the focus of ideological and political work in enterprises to carry out daily ideological education and improve workers' ideological consciousness as the basic task. Due to the long-term influence of the planned economic system in the past, a considerable number of workers are still seriously bound by the old traditional ideas, and often regard some disadvantages of the old system as the superiority of the socialist system. When the reform touched on these drawbacks, they were confused and even rebelled. There are not only institutional reasons, but also improper contents and methods of ideological education, and even low quality of employees. Carrying out market economy, pushing enterprises to the market, deepening internal reform and changing operating mechanism will inevitably lead to the adjustment of various interest relations. In the process of this reform, it is inevitable and normal for workers to have various kinds of psychology, such as ambivalence, imbalance and seeking stability. This requires ideological and political work in enterprises to carry out ideological education such as the party's basic line, socialism, patriotism, collectivism, eight honors and eight disgraces. According to the social mentality of workers at different levels, improve their ideological and political consciousness and abide by professional ethics. The ideological and political work activities of every specific task of an enterprise should be designed, arranged and operated around this main axis, so as to exert its role imperceptibly and achieve good results.

Thirdly, it is the purpose of ideological and political work in enterprises to fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of employees. Among the three elements of productivity, man is the decisive factor. The state of productive forces depends on whether the enthusiasm of workers is fully mobilized and to what extent. Under the condition of market economy, the market is the battlefield. Without strong ideological and political work, it is impossible for enterprises to remain invincible in the fierce market competition and achieve steady and accelerated development. Facts have shown that it is not feasible to rely solely on material means. Only by combining material means with spiritual encouragement can we promote each other and complement each other. Therefore, under the condition of market economy, the ideological and political work of enterprises should be people-oriented, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, and comprehensively use spiritual encouragement methods such as publicity and education, commendation and reward to stimulate the sense of responsibility of employees in production and work, and form a situation of unity, harmony and sharing weal and woe.

Second, the importance and necessity of ideological and political work in enterprises under the conditions of market economy.

First, it is determined by the market economic system. At present, under the condition of market economy, the ideological and political work of enterprises must adapt to the requirements of the new situation and pave the way for enterprises to go to the market in an all-round way, that is, through publicity and education, guiding and coordinating ideological education, eliminating ideological obstacles among employees, improving their psychological endurance and comprehensive quality, and promoting the establishment and continuous improvement of the socialist market economic system.

Second, it is determined by the main tasks of ideological and political work in enterprises. Under the condition of market economy, the main body of the market is the enterprise, and the main body of the enterprise is the employee. The source of enterprise vitality lies in giving full play to the enthusiasm of employees. Since the reform and opening up, due to the lag of many supporting reform measures and the fact that the ideological shackles of "Left" have not been completely broken, the status of the hero of workers has not really been established, and the enthusiasm and initiative need to be improved. Therefore, in the process of establishing a market economic system, the ideological and political work of enterprises must always focus on mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees, obeying and serving the center of production, operation and management activities, and straightening out relations in order to receive better results.

Third, it is determined by deepening internal reform and transforming the operating mechanism. Deepening the internal reform of enterprises and changing the management mechanism will inevitably have an impact on the university in the minds of employees, which is a deep psychological change. Generally speaking, the reform has brought certain material benefits to employees, but some employees are worried about losing their "rice bowls", and they have ambivalence of nostalgia for the old system and expectation for the new system; There are also some employees who are unbalanced and skeptical; Some leading cadres in enterprises still have the psychology of seeking stability, and so on. With the gradual improvement of the market economic system, these psychology will become more and more prominent and will become an ideological obstacle to the establishment of the market economic system. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out ideological education at different levels and in a targeted manner, so that the broad masses of workers can not only feel it in reality, but also rationally realize that deepening enterprise reform and changing the operating mechanism are aimed at the old system that bound the enthusiasm of workers, establishing a market economic system and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of workers.

Fourth, it is the need to enhance the effect of ideological and political work in enterprises. Since the reform and opening up, ideological and political work in enterprises has played an irreplaceable role in promoting reform and opening up and developing the economy. There is no doubt that the ideological and political work in enterprises has not changed with the changes of objective conditions because of the shackles of some traditional fixed models for a long time in the past, and the ideological and political work has not achieved satisfactory results. Therefore, under the new situation, to enhance the effect of ideological and political work in enterprises, we should do four things well: First, unify the evaluation criteria and establish the effect view. When we evaluate an enterprise's ideological and political work, we should not only see whether it has been done, but also see how effective it is, not only whether the enthusiasm of employees has been mobilized, but also whether the enthusiasm of employees has lasted. Second, we should pay attention to ways and means, carry out ideological education at different levels, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and prescribe the right medicine. Third, turn virtual into reality, combine solving ideological problems with solving practical problems, and enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political work. The fourth is to grasp the key points and difficulties in solving the work of enterprise production and operation centers and serve the overall situation of enterprise work with strong ideological and political work.

The third is to highlight key points and actively do four tasks.

First, strengthen the market awareness education for the broad masses of workers, which is the ideological basis for clarifying the ideological and political work of enterprises. Under the condition of market economy, if an enterprise wants to enter the market, the thoughts of its employees must first enter the market and establish a strong market consciousness. In the face of fierce market competition, some people feel puzzled, some people wait and see, and some people are at a loss. Therefore, it is necessary to educate all employees on common sense such as commodity economy and market awareness, so that employees can understand basic common sense such as commodity economy, law of value, market economy, the relationship between enterprises and markets, and the objective inevitability of enterprises going to the market. Establish the market concept, competition concept, quality concept and benefit concept that are compatible with the market economy, establish the business concept and work style that meet the requirements of the development of the market economy, and enhance the sense of urgency, crisis and responsibility of enterprises and employees in facing and entering the market. In the market competition, our state-owned enterprises often struggle with low efficiency, while many private enterprises and other non-public economies have sprung up and developed rapidly. A very important reason for this huge contrast lies in the different market concepts of employees. The former is seriously bound by the planned economy, with poor market concept and foot-binding; The latter is based on the market, actively participates in market competition and seeks development and growth in the fierce market competition. This is indeed worthy of our deep thinking, and it also shows how important it is to strengthen the market awareness of employees!

Second, firmly establish the guiding ideology of serving the production, operation and management of enterprises and enhance the service of ideological and political work, which is the key to clarify the thinking of ideological and political work in enterprises. The practice since the reform and opening up shows that the ideological and political work of enterprises must serve the economic work and be closely combined with the actual production, operation and management in order to receive better results. In enterprises, economic work is inseparable from ideological and political work, and ideological and political work is also inseparable from economic work. We should combine the two well. Under the condition of market economy, it is bound to impact the old ideas under the planned economy system and the interest relationship formed by them; At the same time, enterprises are no longer in the era of "drought and flood", and their economic benefits must be determined by the degree of realization of commodity value exchange. Facing the market, the survival of the fittest determines the fate of enterprises and directly affects the interests of employees. Especially when the enterprise is in trouble, how to cheer up the spirit of employees and tide over the difficulties together is more important and its effect is more remarkable. The guiding ideology of whether the ideological and political work of enterprises serves the production, operation and management has also been verified. It can be seen that in the process of establishing and perfecting the socialist market economic system, the ideological and political work of enterprises must be done together with the production, operation and management activities, and penetrate into all links to ensure the completion of the production and operation tasks of enterprises and the continuous improvement of economic benefits.

Third, the establishment of a political team and network system combining full-time and part-time jobs is the fundamental condition for clarifying the ideological and political work of enterprises and the organizational guarantee for the ideological and political work of enterprises to serve the economic work.

With the transformation of enterprise management mechanism and the establishment and improvement of market economic system, the ideological and political work of enterprises will face many new situations and problems. The task of ideological and political work in enterprises is heavier, more demanding, more difficult and involves a wider range of fields, which also puts forward higher and stricter requirements for political cadres. To this end, we should focus on two aspects: first, we should establish an all-round and three-dimensional network system. Under the new situation, the ideological and political work of enterprises must be based on facing the society and the market; Ideological and political work depends not only on political cadres, but also on administrative cadres, all party member and the broad masses of workers, so that ideological and political work can be transformed from the management of a few people, specialized institutions and personnel in the past to the management of party and government labor groups, with the participation of all workers, forming an all-round and interdisciplinary network system and expanding the radiation area. The second is to strengthen the construction of full-time political workers and improve their ideological and political quality and professional ability.

Under the situation, many new situations, new problems and new contradictions have emerged. Without a lean and efficient political team that meets the requirements of the new situation, it is impossible to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Therefore, on the basis of maintaining the relative stability of the enterprise's political institutions and political workers, we should adopt multi-channels and multi-forms to train the existing and reserve political cadres in stages and batches to help them improve their quality, update their concepts, change their thinking, improve their working methods and work styles, master and flexibly use the principles, principles and methods of ideological and political work, and do a good job in ideological and political work in enterprises creatively and effectively.

Fourth, firmly relying on the masses of workers, enhancing their sense of ownership and stimulating their enthusiasm for work are the foothold and foothold of the ideological and political work in enterprises.

Workers are the masters of enterprises, and the driving force and main body of reform are the broad masses of workers. Deepen reform, change management mechanism, strengthen democratic management, and establish incentive and restraint mechanisms. All of them need the support, active support and active participation of the broad masses of workers to achieve success, and these are inseparable from in-depth and meticulous ideological and political work. In the face of reform and fierce market competition, it is normal for workers to have various mentalities and even rebellious psychology. In view of employees' mentality, how to make the best use of the situation, straighten out emotions and resolve contradictions? In my opinion, we must make clear the thinking of ideological and political work in enterprises under the new situation and make efforts from the following two aspects: First, strengthen the guidance of publicity and education, do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, stimulate the consciousness and consciousness of employees to participate in reform, enhance their psychological endurance, actively participate in reform and actively support reform. At the same time, according to the requirements of a harmonious society, we will solve problems for employees from the perspective of humanistic care, do practical things for employees, and let employees feel the care and warmth of the party and the government. Second, give full play to the role of the workers' congress, promote the openness of factory affairs, strengthen the democratic management of enterprises, and establish the dominant position of workers. The formulation of enterprise reform plan, the choice of operators, the decision-making on major issues of enterprises and other matters should actively solicit the opinions and suggestions of the broad masses of employees, and on this basis, submit them to the workers' congress for discussion and deliberation, so as to enhance the joint efforts of enterprises and form a strong market competitiveness.

Practice has repeatedly proved that the ideological and political work in enterprises has clear thinking, correct guiding ideology and proper methods, and the production and operation activities of enterprises will go smoothly and the ideological and political work will receive good results; When the ideological and political work of enterprises is not clear, it will get twice the result with half the effort and go to the opposite side.

To sum up, under the condition of market economy, the ideological and political work of enterprises has clear thinking, correct guiding ideology and clear work objectives, and whether it can achieve the expected purpose depends on whether our measures are excellent and whether our methods are appropriate. The formation and persistence of the general climate of propaganda and ideological work requires the attention and support of party and government leaders at all levels in addition to giving full play to the internal factors of enterprises. It can be believed that under the correct leadership and great attention of party and government leaders at all levels, and with the joint efforts of all political workers and workers, the ideological and political work in enterprises will certainly explore new ways and leap to a new level, playing a greater role and making greater contributions to economic construction and building a harmonious society!
