Civil Service Reform Act

The Civil Service Reform Act was intended to transform the public sector. This paper draws upon surveys conducted in 1979 by the Office of Personnel Management and in 1986 by the Merit Systems Protection board to contrast federal employee perceptions towards performance appraisal. Identical or nearly identical items included in both surveys tap attitudes that indicate that the new objectives-based performance appraisal system does not appear to have garnered much in the way of added support. Perceptions regarding blanket ratings, participative objectives setting, feedback, the fairness of standards, and the fairness of ratings have changed but little. The change that has occured has been, for the most part, in the way of introducing uncertainty.

The article studies some aspects of improving the legal regulation of civil service in Ukraine. Domestic norms that provide for the application of restrictions on civil servants in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Purification of Government” were analyzed. Moreover, it was found that such restrictions violate a person’s right to respect for private life. The procedure for assessing the performance of civil servants was studied. It was substantiated that the application of dismissal of civil servants as a result of receiving a negative assessment after the performance appraisal does not meet the principles of individuality, objectivity and proportionality when deciding on dismissal and general norms concerning disciplinary liability of civil servants provided by the Law of Ukraine “About civil service”. The experience of legal regulation of civil service in Poland, Moldova and Germany was analyzed. It was determined that the improvement of domestic legal regulation of civil service in some part may occur through the borrowing of those peculiarities of civil service, which are found in the legislation of the abovementioned countries. For example, the experience of the Republic of Poland is useful for borrowing in terms of improving the performance appraisal of civil servants. Moldova’s experience shows the successful use of polygraph testing of civil servants. The German experience is useful for Ukraine in terms of training and retraining of civil servants. Proposals were presented to improve the legislation on the civil service, namely the application of reprimands, rather than dismissal due to a negative assessment of the results of the civil servant’s performance appraisal. It is suggested to amend the lustration legislation, which would provide for an individual approach to a person who will be lustrated if his guilt in making decisions, committing acts that contributed to the undemocratic regime of Viktor Yanukovych is proved.
