Subject The article addresses relationship between the statistical theory of knowledge and the motivation of research scientists. Analysis of stimulation and motivation of their activities in different countries unveiled differences that reflect the characteristics of relevant communities as sociocultural environment and transformational processes, which are dependent on increasing the use of knowledge-intensive services and high technology. This can be seen as a conceptual platform and a basic hypothesis of the study. Objectives The aim is to justify this hypothesis and develop recommendations to improve the effectiveness of stimulation and motivation of research scientists (inventors) in organizations. Methods We employ methods of logical research, economic analysis and synthesis based on systems approach. Results We review individual characteristics of modern society, measures of State support at appropriate levels to scientific and innovative activities of research scientists in a number of countries, and methods of stimulating and motivating them in organizations. The paper presents logical and mathematical models within the statistical theory of knowledge of the expected results of the activity of research scientists (inventors) in companies and universities. It also includes recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of stimulation and motivation of research scientists (inventors) in organizations. Conclusions The necessary condition for the formation of innovative thinking in Russia is to shape a belief that such thinking is imperative for social success and technological, economic and national security of Russia.
