The article examines the formation of the statehood of modern Turkmenistan through the prism of historical changes that have occurred in the post-Soviet countries. It is noted that after 1991 all former republics of the USSR built new independent states on a fundamentally different basis – interaction between government and society. The authors emphasize that the establishment of trust between the state as an institution and citizens is possible under certain conditions, among which a special place is occupied by a clear organization of civil service and the professionalism of civil servants. The measures that have already been implemented and are being taken by the leadership of Turkmenistan at the present time to solve these problems are considered. It is noted that Turkmenistan acts within the framework and in accordance with the key world-class standards regarding the requirements for the organization of civil service. The measures taken in the country to combat corruption are analyzed.

he study analyzes the experience of advanced democracies, as well as some postSoviet states that have implemented successful reforms and joined the European Union, on models for building a civil service system and the division of civil servants into categories, types and groups. It is noted that the civil service is classified according to various criteria, in accordance with the division by branches of government service is allocated in the legislative, executive, judicial branches, there is a division into civil, specialized and militarized civil service (the latter include police). It is emphasized that the specifics of the civil service system and, accordingly, the place of service in the police were influenced by a number of factors, namely the historical development of the state, the legal system, the form of the state. In accordance with such traditions, there are three groups of models of foreign civil service: organizational models with a division into centralized and decentralized, a model of openness with a division into career, job or open, Anglo-Saxon and continental (from the standpoint of Western civilization). It is also outlined that due to traditions in the world, the terms "civil service", "public service", "civil service" are interpreted differently. Specific examples of division into different categories of civil servants and the place among such division in France, Germany, Hungary are considered. Particular attention is paid to the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania, which regulates civil service and the place of service in the police in the general system. It is noted that police officers are statutory civil servants who are subject to special legislation determining the specifics of service, selection and dismissal, their system of ranks, etc., and who are not covered by the Law "On Civil Service" of the Republic of Lithuania.

The article analyzes the development and functioning of the system of education, training, retraining and advanced training of civil servants. The relevance of the research topic has been proved - qualified civil servants successfully implement the functions of the state; the efficiency of public services depends on the level of training and qualifications of civil servants. The quality of training for a civil servant directly depends on the level of education in the country. The system of training, retraining and advanced training of civil servants should be considered as a single, integral subsystem in the public administration system. The research of scientists should be used in the development of projects for reforming the vocational training system of civil servants. At the same time, when analyzing modern literary sources, it was revealed that the problems of a practical nature that exist in the civil service, that is, the needs of civil servants in the modern conditions of their work, have been insufficiently studied, and foreign experience of professional training of personnel for the civil service remains little studied. An analysis of regulations and a survey of civil servants allows us to draw conclusions about the shortcomings of the existing system of training civil servants. In particular, the system of training, retraining and advanced training of civil servants should be aimed at achieving the main goal - providing government bodies with the necessary number of highly professional and highly knowledgeable, trained civil servants who have modern scientific knowledge, practical skills and abilities and are capable of effective implementation of the goals and functions of a legal modern state in its practical activities. The authors noted that it is extremely necessary to study the foreign experience of training civil service specialists and implement it in Ukraine. It is necessary to establish a relationship between the needs of civil servants and the curricula and plans of educational institutions, retraining and professional development courses; to increase the level of dissemination of new forms and methods of professional development of civil servants, including remote ones; improve the qualifications of teachers and educators by increasing funding from the state, international cooperation and internships; to start constant sociological monitoring of the needs of civil servants; establish the correspondence of basic education to the position held.

New requirements for public administration put forward requirements for the civil service and its main resource – civil servants able to provide quality services and work to achieve results in the public interest, apply European standards of public administration and make public policy in the face of change. In turn, the need to address the challenges outlined above revisits the theoretical foundations related to the development of the staffing potential of the civil service (SРСS) and the improvement of the state-administrative mechanisms that provide it. The main idea of the article is to theoretically substantiate the mechanisms of development of the SРСS in the conditions of anthropological orientation of public administration. The state of the research of the phenomenon of «staffing potential of the civil service» in the scientific discourse is analyzed and its conceptual-categorical apparatus is developed. The essence of such basic definitions of the work as «staffing potential of the civil service», «development of staffing potential» has been established. At the same time, attention is paid to the fact that in the process of studying the essence of the SРСS, we turn to the subjective factor, but not in its individual-personality manifestation, but take it in a holistic-generalized, formed into a single complex of abilities (possibilities). The mechanisms of development of the SРСS are defined as an integral set of norms, principles, methods, tools and levers of influence, through which conditions are created for the development of the capabilities and capabilities of civil servants to perform professional tasks and implement state functions. The composition and structure of the SРСS from the point of view of its development have been specified and on this basis, the mechanisms of public administration of this process have been identified, namely, organizational and legal, resourceful, motivational and informational and communicative. It is established that the identified mechanisms for the development of the staffing potential of the civil service interact closely with each other. Thus, the identified mechanisms for the development of the SРСS form organizational, legal, motivational-value and other integrated ways of stimulating the civil service personnel to self-knowledge, self-improvement and self-realization in order to solve public tasks and realize the functions of public administration in terms of its reform.

Today no one doubts that the special responsibility in the development and functioning of Ukraine is given to civil servants, who, based on the constitutional enshrinement of their rights and responsibilities, are obliged to represent the state and perform its tasks and functions. Among the large number of corruption grounds, the conflict of interests takes an important place, which is reasonably due to the problematic historical past that took place in Ukraine, when citizens subconsciously established the rule of solving problems with the help of so-called “their” people, when the distribution of positions was carried out on the principle of "family ties", and important decisions were made in favor of the interests of individuals. All this had a very negative impact on the effective activities of civil servants, undermined the authority of public administration, destroyed the trust of citizens in the state as a whole, and therefore is an extremely important issue in the current implementation of anti-corruption policy, building civil society and bringing Ukraine closer to European norms and standards. The civil service is a special institution of power and law, which performs the functions of public administration in the preparation and implementation of management decisions through which the implementation of public policy. As a complex and specific type of managerial activity, the civil service makes specific requirements for future civil servants depending on their positions for which they apply and the nature and content of the work they will perform. The legislation provides a fairly wide list of professional, organizational, moral and ethical, cultural qualities, norms and principles of conduct, which should be the image of a civil servant. Key words: civil service, conflict of interest, regulation, corruption, anti-corruption mechanism, official.
