Librarians have always served a wider clientele than those we are expected to serve. In part this is due to our reluctance to question the status of individuals who come before us and in part it is due to the public service orientation of most librarians. In college and university libraries this wider clientele includes people of all ages from the community, former students, visiting scholars who come to the library and, through interlibrary loan, many others long distances away. Some librarians would say that “outreach” is what every good librarian does.

This article identifies and explains different cultures within the Australian Public Service (APS) using the interaction ritual (IR) theory of Randall Collins. It argues that such cultures vary along two dimensions: power and status. On the power dimension, we may distinguish three cultures: that of the order givers, that of the order takers, and that of those who both give and take orders. On the status dimension, we may distinguish localistic and cosmopolitan cultures. Cultural differences on these two dimensions are associated with variations in organizational rank, educational levels, agency tasks, relationships with clients, and central versus regional office location.

Public service motivation is an emerging topic in the study of public administration, but no study has adequately investigated how it affects employee service orientation through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The present study is ultimately aimed to fill the research gap by examing whether public service motivation influences service orientation and if so, whether the effect is mediated by job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Data were analyzed by using WarpPLS 6.0. Using a sample of 160 public servants in the city government of Tanjungpinang, the results indicate that employee service orientation is directly and positively affected by PSM. In addition, public service motivation also has an indirect impact on employee service orientation through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Furthermore, the theoretical and practical implications of the study for human resources management in the public sector are discussed.

The issues of public service sector development have remained current since the sector was overhauled and reformed in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The authors identify the following reasons for problems in the public service sector: a failure to force public service providers from the semishade sector and to provide opportunities for cost-effective operations in the newly created market. Currently, the major problems in the sphere of public service provision are largely connected with quality characteristics. Public service shapes the service space in modern urban areas, and provides adequate living conditions, which is a key criterion for quality-of-life evaluation. The authors’ working hypothesis focuses on developing a new format of public service companies’ development on the basis of complexity/integrity and maximal accessibility. The format is seen by the authors as suitable for a network of mini public amenities centers located in functionally diverse urban zones. The authors’ conclusions rest on the results of the authors’ marketing research into the status and development prospects of the public service sector in Mytishchi, Moscow Region. The essence of the concept proposed by the author is the different lines of mini public amenities center development: creating a business environment, priority-based resource allocation, cooperation in information support activities, as well as implementation mechanisms.

The article examines the problems of administrative and legal regulation of the service of judges in Ukraine. The legislation on public service in the judiciary has been studied. It is determined that public service in the judicial bodies of Ukraine is a complex state-legal and social institution, which covers the formation of administrative, procedural and socio-psychological foundations of employees in the courts; construction and legal description of the hierarchy of positions; identification, selection, training, development, promotion, evaluation, promotion and responsibility of public servants. That is, this service exists in order to exercise the powers of an employee in court in a constructive and effective methods. Based on the analysis of the main provisions of regulations governing the organizational and legal framework of the civil service, the content of administrative and legal regulation of the public service of judges in Ukraine is clarified. It is determined that despite the legislative consolidation of the order of service in the judiciary, today remains unresolved a number of problematic issues, which include the following: features of public service in court, special requirements for skills and qualifications of court staff compared to other employees, and there is also no list of positions of the court staff that must be attributed to the public service. The author's definition of the term «administrative and legal regulation of judicial activity» is formulated. It is proposed to understand the activity of the state, which consists in the implementation of state-authoritative, normative-organizational, purposeful influence of funds on public relations, arising during the performance of courts assigned to them, which are implemented through a set of administrative law. Conclusions on the current state of administrative and legal regulation of the public service of judges in Ukraine have been formed. It is determined that the conduct of public service by judges is associated with the implementation of a specific in its meaning and content function - the administration of justice. Administrative and legal regulation of the public service reflects the objective principles and normative enshrinement of rules and administrative procedures that ensure the procedure for selection, appointment, passage and termination of public service by judges. Further scientific investigations require the status of judges' implementation of administrative and legal status.
