The article presents the comparative analysis of the concept of organizational mechanism by foreign and domestic scholars in the field of management, economics and organizational studies. The article summarizes the main theoretical views, models and empirical findings on this topic based on a wide range of scientific sources, including books, professional articles, monographs, conference papers. The article highlights the similarities and differences in the approaches of different scholars to this topic, as well as identifies the key debates and controversies around the definition, scope and functions of the organizational mechanism. The article highlights common themes and trends in the study of organizational mechanism, compares and contrasts the perspectives of domestic and foreign scientists on the subject. There are different interpretations and definitions of this concept, but a common thread is that it refers to the various elements and processes that an organization uses to coordinate and regulate its internal operations, resources, and behavior of its members. The organizational mechanism is becoming an increasingly important concept in the modern scientific space, as the complexity of the research process increases and the scope of research topics expands, coordination and cooperation between researchers is necessary for the efficient use of resources and achievement of the desired results. The importance of having a well-designed and well-implemented organizational mechanism to ensure the economic success and economic sustainability of the organization is emphasized. Overall, the concept of organizational mechanism continues to be a relevant and dynamic area of study, with ongoing discussions and debates about its nature, role, and impact on organizational behavior and performance. The article is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, managers, practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of this important concept and will contribute to the further development of research on this concept in the domestic scientific space.
