The purpose of the work is to highlight the problematic aspects of the legal regulation of the principles of "involvement" of close persons in public service relations and to formulate proposals for the formation of uniform standards for the regulation of such relations. The research methodology of this article is a combination of general scientific and specific methods of scientific knowledge. The dialectical method was chosen as the basic method, and the methods of semantic analysis, logical-legal and comparative-legal, forecasting, modeling were additionally used. Justifying the different degree of "attachment" of close persons to the professional activity of a public servant to find out the possible prerequisites and manifestations of the use of the latter benefits and advantages of the public service to satisfy private interests, it is proposed to regulate the relations of lifestyle monitoring, full verification of the finance declaration with taking into his or her family, and "gift" relationships of relatives, normalizing patterns of their possible behavior.

In this paper, the author examines public service as depicted in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS). First, she shows how slaying meets the economist’s definition of a public good, using the BtVS episode “Flooded” (6.04). Second, she discusses public service motivation (PSM) to determine whether or not Buffy, a public servant, operates from a public service ethic. Relying on established measures and evidence from shooting scripts and episode transcripts, the author concludes Buffy is a public servant motivated by a public service ethic. In this way, BtVS informs scholarship on public service by broadening the concept of PSM beyond the public sector; prompting one to wonder whether it is located in a sector, an occupation, or in the individual. These conclusions allow the author to situate Buffy alongside other idealized public servants in American popular culture.

The article analyzes the approaches to the civil service organization in Ukraine and examines the regulations of the civil service establishment since independence time. The attention is payed to the regulatory uncertainty of the separation of civil and public service in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the legal basis of the civil service in Ukraine is determined by the Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service”, which was adopted in 2015. The first such laws were adopted in 1993 and 2011. The Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” of 1993 for the first time established a special legal status of civil servants – persons authorized to perform state functions. The Civil Service recognized the professional activity of persons holding positions in state bodies and their staff for the practical performance of tasks and functions of the state, receiving salaries at the expense of state funds. The Main Department of the Civil Service under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was designated as the civil service government body in the state bodies. At that time, the procedure for serving in local self-government bodies was not legally regulated in Ukraine, which hampered the establishment of the public service institution in Ukraine. With the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, there was a division of public service into civil service and service in local self-governments. The Laws of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine” and “On Service in Local Self-Government Bodies” became an additional basis for distinguishing types of public service. In 2011, a new Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” was adopted, which provided for changes in the legal regulation of the civil service in Ukraine. Civil service was recognized as a professional activity of civil servants in preparing proposals for the civil policy formation, ensuring its implementation and provision of administrative services, ie the categories of political positions and positions of civil servants were distinguished. The current legislation defines the role of the civil service and its features, as well as the conditions of service in local governments, which is actually the basis for the public service system formation in Ukraine. Key words: civil service, public service, service in local self-government bodies.

PurposeThe need to improve the efficiency and quality of public services has increased the interest in innovation. This study seeks to understand the relationship between the Public Service Motivation (PSM) index and the profile of strategic-level public servants who are considered innovative.Design/methodolog/approachQuestionnaires were applied to the group of government managers who registered their projects in an innovation competition. Data were analyzed using t-test, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).FindingsThis paper concluded that the PSM level of these innovative public servants is significantly greater than public servants overall. In terms of the profile of these innovative government managers, it was found that the majority were female, with a high level of education and a background in Information Technology.Practical implicationsThe discovery that innovative government managers have a significantly higher PSM (p < 0.05) than public servants overall may be relevant, because it confirms a statistical tendency that it would be advantageous for policy-makers to invest in actions that increase public servant PSM since these servants with high PSM are more innovative.Originality/valueThis article has sought to fill a gap in studies that associate the level of PSM with the innovation practices in the public sector, as well as verify the profile of public servants with high levels of motivation in public service (PSM).

Problem setting. The civil servant is one of the main objects of public service reform and, at the same time, its subject. This is due to the fact that civil servants, as representatives of the senior public service, are the main actors in the formation of reform policy in the field of public service, as well as, subject to regulatory legislation, catalysts for its implementation. At the same time, transformational changes affect the legal status of public servants, which in turn affects the formation of their rights and responsibilities. Recent research and publications analysis. It was found that the issue of the rights of public servants is insufficiently covered in recent research, which has led to the relevance of the selected issues. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem is to reveal the essence and content of the rights of public servants as a fundamental component of their legal status. Paper main body. Research has shown that the legal status of a public servant should be understood as a system of rights granted to him, as well as a set of responsibilities imposed on him, including certain incentives, prohibitions and restrictions, as well as measures of legal liability for non-compliance or improper level of performance of professional duties assigned to him in accordance with the job description. The essence of the concept of “rights of a public servant” should be understood as a set of certain material, economic and social benefits that are guaranteed to the official and ensure the realization of his natural rights in the course of professional activity. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. It is concluded that the rights of a public servant can be disclosed as a set of certain material, economic and social benefits that are guaranteed to the official and ensure the realization of his natural rights in the course of professional activity. There are three levels (aspects) of the rights of civil servants, namely: private law; Labor Law; public law. Thus, private law ensures the freedom and autonomy of the individual, the independence and autonomy of the individual. Labor relations arising in the activities of public servants are an element of the general system of labor law. At the same time, public servants perform their job functions personally and must obey the rules of official discipline, which are established at both the local and state levels. In the course of using the labor of public servants, labor relations arise, which, however, are characterized by the peculiarity of official functions and the level of responsibility for decision-making of state importance. Prospects for further research are the analysis of the state of protection of the rights of civil servants in modern Ukraine, the study of improving the organizational protection of the rights of civil servants and compliance with the rights of civil servants as an optimization tool for building an effective state in Ukraine.
