The right to strike has been recognised in France, even as a right guaranteed by the Constitution, since 1946. Strikes in the public sector are subject to specific legal regulation, including requirements for minimum notice periods and, in some circumstances, minimum service requirements. This contribution examines these special legal features of public-sector strikes. It is necessary to clarify the respective roles and responsibilities of the management of public enterprises (or administrative authorities) and the government. The article also considers alternative (and new) forms of collective action and agreements. In the future there may well be even greater scope for the regulation of strikes to be covered by collective bargaining.

Impasse Resolution

Public employees in Florida have been permitted by law since 1974 to engage in collective bargaining with their employers. Along with the right to engage in collective bargaining, the law established a dispute resolution process for resolving bargaining impasses in lieu of the strike, which was strictly prohibited. This law also established the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC), which was created to oversee the process. The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the present impasse procedure as perceived by the concerned parties. This study was exploratory in nature and designed to provide PERC and thus the Florida Legislature with the documentation required for review of the present law. A total of 1,150 questionnaires were mailed to union representatives and public employers. A 45 percent return rate was achieved. The return was approximately equally divided between the unions and the employers. Frequency distributions of these responses and regression analyses are presented and conclusions are drawn as to the perceived effectiveness of the process.

This study sought to explore the dynamics in managing crisis in the Nigerian public sector and its engagement with the organised labour, with a view to determining the interface between industrial harmony and political stability in the country. This study is predicated on the fact that crisis management is essentially embedded in humanity. Additionally, the study was informed by the established and widely held view by scholars, that social groups by their nature and context, are in fact characterised by conflicts. Consequently, the study established that the public sector in every society is not immune against conflict or crisis, and this will naturally arise as long as there is interaction between and among human elements in the two sectors. The author used the terms—crisis and conflict—interchangeably in the study, and pointed out that the methodology adopted was a descriptive and analytical approach. This is informed by the sources of information accessed which are essentially secondary. The study concluded by asserting that given the humanity-linked nature of conflict, its management in the public sector, particularly in Nigeria, will continue to be an unavoidable responsibility of the government. This is to ensure that the right environment is created to guarantee smooth governance.

Abstract. Introduction. The public sector of Ukraine at the present stage of its historical development is constantly transforming, cooperating with many countries of the world in various fields, adopting their experience of the state formation. Therefore, in order to ensure an effective solution to the issues of successful functioning of public sector entities, there is a need for business trips both on the territory of Ukraine and abroad. At the same time, both heads of public enterprises and institutions and ordinary workers can be sent on a business trip. Purpose. The goal of the research is to analyze the organizational and legal foundations and scientific and methodological positions regarding business trips, accounting for the costs for their implementation and documenting this process in institutions and at public sector enterprises. Results. The article examines the list of documents that are made to document business trips and identifies the specifics of reporting on receipt of funds. The requirements for documents added to the report on the use of funds provided for a business trip or on condition of accountability have been determined. The features of the procedure for reflecting expenses in accounting and tax accounting have been considered. The introduction of the performance audit mechanism has been proposed as a progressive source of control over the use of public funds. Conclusions. Absolute and timely documentation of the accounting of business trip expenses within the framework of regulatory legal acts is a guarantee of compliance with accounting policies, reliability of accounting and reporting, accounting for settlements with accountable persons. In order to minimize travel expenses and make the most efficient use of financial resources, institutions operating in the public sector are in dire need of a performance audit mechanism.

Elimination, neutralization or restriction of the social preconditions of corruption requires systemic changes in the main spheres of social life, first of all in the functioning of public authorities. Because corruption is a phenomenon associated with the abuse of certain opportunities provided by certain posts or official position of persons authorized to perform state functions, it is traditionally believed that anti-corruption measures should be aimed primarily at such persons. Public confidence and public accountability play an important role in preventing corruption. Preventing and combating corruption cannot be effective without preventive measures in the public sector, an area where those authorized to represent the state perform their professional duties. UN anti-corruption standards in the public sphere provide for the implementation of a set of measures aimed at preventing the commission of corruption offenses. These are, first of all, the require-ments for public officials to carry out their activities on an ethical basis, which can be established in special codes of conduct that help persons performing public functions to choose the right course of action in a situation where there is a high risk of corruption.

Public Sector Unionism

This article discusses the arguments against adopting collective bargaining in the public sector and its benefits. Collective bargaining in the public sector is viewed primarily as undermining democratic governance in one way and paradoxically it is seen as an essential part of democratic governance. In the former view, collective bargaining in the public sector is seen as an interference with administrative law for personal benefit to the detriment of the taxpayer. Proponents of this view argue that unionising public sector employees encourages disloyalty to the government at the expense of public welfare. In the later view, public sector collective bargaining is viewed as a fundamental human right in a pluralistic society. Advocates of this view posit that, public sector unions provide a collective voice that stimulates improvement of government services as well as sound administration of law. They also argue that, public sector collective bargaining represents public policy interests and serves as a watchdog to government’s monopoly power in employment matters. Public sector unions raise employee salaries and perks to levels higher than they would have been in the absence of collective bargaining. These two opposite views are subjected to a critical analysis in this paper, with empirical evidence for both the benefits of public sector collective bargaining and arguments against public sector unions. The article found that public sector collective bargaining depends on the socio-economic background of states although international laws favour public sector unionism.

The study aims to examine the ethical work climate types of the National Audit Department (NAD) offices in Malaysia as perceived by the public sector auditors. The respondents of the study were public sector auditors in the NAD offices from both federal and state levels. Using a survey questionnaire comprising instrument about the ethical climate by Victor and Cullen (1988), a total of 382 responses was received and usable. In order to achieve the research objective, descriptive statistics of mean score and standard deviation were used. The results reveal that the highest mean score is ‘rules’ climate, indicating that the public sector auditors perceived this rules ethical climate to be highly present in their organizations. This is followed by ‘instrumental’ and ‘caring’ ethical climate types. In contrast, law ethical climate type was perceived as almost non-exist in the NAD offices. This study provides useful information on the types of ethical climate types that exist in the offices of the National Audit Department (NAD) as perceived by the public sector auditors which may to some extent help to inculcate the right ethical climate in order improve the level of ethics among public sector auditors which will subsequently enhance the credibility of the NAD and public trust in the government.

Civil Sector

In general, Ukraine has developed a sufficiently detailed practice on the management of public sector entities, although unfortunately, not all of its fundamentally important provisions, adapt the experience of managing the civil sector. For example, especially at the national level, the overall goal of the government is to achieve certain policy goals, for example, in environmental, social or economic aspects. In this context, governments need to have well-organized work with the civil sector on social security programs or health care services to study service delivery performance for target groups.It is established that today, improvement of the mechanism of introduction of modern technologies of information presence and informing citizens about their rights, in particular, about the right to choose, the right of responsibility is the first important step for their participation in the process of monitoring the development and implementation of state policy. By receiving full information, civil society institutions can better assess the effectiveness of the public sector and submit their proposals. Despite the apparent need for a thorough analysis of competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public, when formulating the state strategy, analysis is far from always sufficiently clear and comprehensive. The difficulty lies in the fact that a comprehensive analysis of the competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public requires a large amount of data, most of which is difficult to obtain without much effort. Many state authorities do not systematically collect information about competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public, but act on the basis of fragmentary information, informal impressions, assumptions and intuitions. The lack of qualitative information is extremely difficult to analyze the competitor’s communicative environment of interaction between public authorities and the public.However, it is important that such an exchange is bilateral - from officials to citizens, and vice versa. This leads to maximizing the effectiveness of internal system management and to qualitative improvements in external management performance both of public authorities and the public sector as a whole. Control measures in the management of both sectors should be directly linked to the use of these indicators, both for feedback and for direct control. This will help identify new strategic opportunities for achieving control objectives and ensure the ability to use existing capabilities.

Neste artigo, é apresentada uma análise de discurso jornalístico acerca das representações sobre o perfil de professor na educação angolana. O objetivo é discutir, linguística e discursivamente, como os meios de comunicação abordam aspectos ligados à educação, com foco na análise dos ditos e não ditos em concurso público para professor de rede pública em Angola, no ano de 2018. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as contribuições teórico-metodológicas de Pêcheux (1988) sobre o interdiscurso e Orlandi (1997) a respeito do silêncio, importantes para o entendimento do “jogo discursivo” entre o dito e não dito sobre o perfil do professor. Para a composição do corpus, foram considerados 14 textos publicados em 2018 no Jornal de Angola. Tal recorte temporal foi estabelecido por coincidir com a realização do concurso público que foi amplamente abordado pela mídia, constituindo a nossa hipótese de que os aspectos abordados pelos meios de comunicação são aqueles para os quais se busca adesão por parte dos governantes. Dessa forma, haveria material para discutir como e quais anseios do setor educacional sobre o futuro professor são representados pela mídia. Cabe ressaltar que as análises da interconexão entre diferentes tipos de discursos poderão possibilitar uma maior compreensão de seu impacto no imaginário que se constrói acerca dos professores, do ensino em geral e da solução para as dificuldades educacionais em Angola.Palavras-chave: Concurso público; Discurso; Educação; Formações imaginárias. ABSTRACT: In this article, we present an analysis of journalistic discourse about the representations of the teacher profile in Angolan education. The objective is to discuss, linguistically and discursively, how the media approach aspects related to education, focusing on the analysis of what has been said and not said in a public tender for new teachers in the public sector in Angola, in the year 2018. In this manner, were used the theoretical-methodological contributions of Pêcheux (1988) on interdiscourse and Orlandi (1997) on silence, important for the understanding of the "discursive game" between the said and not said about the profile of the teacher. In order to compose the corpus, we considered 14 texts published in 2018 by the Jornal de Angola. Such a temporal definition was established because of its coinciding with the public tender that was widely covered by the media, so our hypothesis is that the aspects addressed by the media are those for which acceptance is sought by the government. In this way, there would be material to discuss how and which educational sector expectations of the future teacher are represented by the media. It should be emphasized that the analysis of the interconnection between different types of discourses may allow a better understanding of its impact on the imaginary that is built on teachers, teaching in general and the solution to the educational difficulties in Angola.Keywords: Civil service examination; Discourse; Education; Imaginary formations.

The aim of this current study was to analyze recent development of talent management among public service managers in Malaysia. The study brings understanding on talent management and broader human capital issues within Malaysia context by analysing the comprehensive literature. Government of Malaysia is emphasizing on development of talent in the public sector, as it is the most significant resource for the public service. The study found that the government has invested in various programs and initiatives to develop and produce key talented human capital within the public sector. However, despite the initiatives taken by the government, Malaysia is still short of talented people and struggling to develop talent, and talented skilful people are leaving. The study also indicated that year after year increasing number of graduates are being produced at the public universities, but the education system is not producing the right skilful individuals for the particular position or task, resulting in talent mismatch. Another key issue is the incapability to retain talented people that led to poor innovation and creativity within the country. Is key issue is part of the factors discussed in the 10th and 11th Malaysia Plan, and is a concern, as it plays a role in preventing the progress of Malaysia in achieving a developed nation by 2020. As one of the key aspirations of Malaysia is to enrich public service in Malaysia as a citizen centre that is having talented human capital. The study revealed that there is a need for in-depth quantitative and qualitative further research to discover new insights on talent management and retain talent among the public sector managers in Malaysia.
