have been designated. A correlation between creative (original, complex, organizing) and template (routine, simple, processing) components of intellectual labor is substantiated. A correlation between the intellectual labor heterogeneity and its intensity & tension is shown. Limited possibilities for implementing the innovative function of intellectual labor and potential for increasing its productivity are explained.
