LTTeisės moksle teisės sistema tradiciškai suprantama kaip teisės struktūra. Straipsnio tikslas yra parodyti, kad į teisės sistemą gali būti žiūrima ir kaip į organizaciją. Taigi darbo teisės sistema tiriama kaip skirtingas funkcijas atliekančių elementų, tarp kurių esama glaudžios sąveikos, visuma. Autoriaus nuomone, toks požiūris į darbo teisės sistemą leidžia nustatyti šios sistemos organizuotumo lygį ir atsakyti į klausimą - sistema funkcionuoja efektyviai ar ne.

ENAs a rule in the jurisprudence the system of law is regarded as a structure of law. But the problem is, that the traditional approach to the system of law as to the structure makes some doubts regarding the existence of the inside relations between the elements constituting the system, which ensure the proper functioning of the law as a single whole, as every single clement there is regarded as an independent regulator of social relations. In the article the author suggested to analyse the system of labour law using a new approach to it, and namely analysing it through its inside organisation. Methodological base for such a research is the philosophic conception of the system as of the integral derivative, having new qualitative characteristics, which are not typical to its components. Only after having investigated the organisation of the system is possible to ascertain, how much any clement is helping to ensure the preservation and stable development of the system. Taking it into account, when researching the system of labour law as the organisation, the author uses a new concept "regulating direction" which is regarded as a minimal clement of the system of law. So the author refuses the using of the concept of legal regulation, when researching the organisation of the system of labour law. According to the functional criteria the author separates three main groups of the regulating directions of labour law and they are: regulating directions, which main function is the creation of legal regulations; regulating directions, which main function is to ensure the stability o f the system of labour law; regulating directions, which main function is to ensure the development of the system of labour law.In the conclusion the author says, that the most part of the legal regulations are abstract regulations, which require some concretisation when using them in practise. According to the specific of labour law the existence of abstract regulations is unavoidable and at the same time required, as the labour law performs two functions - social and economic: on the one hand the regulations of labour law have to protect the weaker side of labour relations, it is employee, from the self-will of the employer, on the other hand they have to create preconditions for the economic development and to stimulate it, it means, that the members of labour relations have to have sufficient freedom of discretion. Namely regarding this we find a lot of abstract legal regulations in the labour law, which realisation depends on the will of the subjects of legal relations. [From the publication]
