Esta pesquisa, quantitativa e de caráter ecológico, explorou um banco de dados oficial Estadual, e verificou uma série de características do perfil dos servidores públicos de Santa Catarina que se afastam do trabalho para licença de tratamento de saúde. Através dela foi possível constatar as principais causas que levam o servidor público ao absenteísmo do trabalho. Desde causas osteomusculares, que frequentemente são encontradas em estudos do gênero, até causas mentais e comportamentais que têm se apresentado cada vez mais corriqueiras no ambiente laboral. O estudo também corrobora com diversos autores citados, que tratam do absenteísmo ao trabalho com forte correlação ao adoecimento do trabalhador da área da saúde. Observa-se que há grande necessidade de haver maior entendimento destes dados visando buscar estratégias de intervenção para que o ambiente laboral do servidor público, seja visto como um universo de bem-estar, realização e evolução profissional e pessoal, e não tão somente como um meio de produção de serviços.Palavras-chave: Absenteísmo.

Because of this, it was possible to see the main causes that lead the civil servant to work absenteeism. Sometimes from musculoskeletal causes, which are often found in gender studies, others to mental and behavioral causes that have become increasingly often in the workplace environment. The study also meets with several authors cited, which deal with work absenteeism and its strong correlation to the health worker illness. It is observed that there is a wide need for greater understanding of these data in order to seek intervention strategies so that the work environment of the public servant, is seen as a universe of well-being, achievement and professional and personal evolution, and not only as a means of production or services.Keywords: Absenteeism.

This article is devoted to the problem of deformation of the personality of a public servant, as a reason condition for the commission of disciplinary offenses in the public service. Based on the analysis of the personal qualities of the civil servant, as well as the genesis of his illegal behavior, it is concluded that scientific research is necessary to study the personality of the civil servant as the subject of disciplinary legal relations, the mechanism of formation of his illegal behavior. The research data should be carried out as part of service-tort studies, as a direction of administrative tortology. It is concluded that in order to prevent deformation of the personality of a public servant, the following are necessary: detailed administrative and legal regulation of the mechanism of psychological selection using the methodology for identifying professional and personal qualities in relation to applicants, including using a polygraph; strengthening the importance and filling the gaps in the legal regulation of such personnel technologies as: mentoring, testing upon admission to the service and certification of public servants; development and implementation of a model of basic personal competencies; conducting a set of measures aimed at preventing and eliminating the problem of professional deformation of the personality of public servants.

The article investigates the imageological aspect of mentor’s communicative competence in public service and reveals the communicative functions of mentor’s image in relation to the mentees. The author determines the communicative skills necessary for the mentor in all processes and stages of this personnel technology. Based on the analysis of scientific publications, the author discloses and justifies the role models of mentor’s behavior in relation to the mentees from the perspective of the mentor’s image, authority, and communicative competence. The author has conducted an expert survey among public servants, which allowed identify the main professional, business, moral, psychological, and integral qualities that are the most effectively developed by the public servant in the process of performing mentor’s functions. As a result, the author suggests a structural-logical model of the communicative competence of a mentor in the public service in the process of perceiving its communicative knowledge, skills, and competencies for achieving the effectiveness of mentoring.

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.

When science is evaluated by bureaucrats and administrators, it is usually done by quantified performance metrics, for the purpose of economic productivity. Olof Hallonsten criticizes both the means (quantification) and purpose (economization) of such external evaluation. I share the concern that such neoliberal performance metrics are shallow, over-simplified and inaccurate, but differ in how best to oppose this reductionism. Hallonsten proposes to replace quantitative performance metrics with qualitative in-depth evaluation of science, which would keep evaluation internal to scientific communities. I argue that such qualitative internal evaluation will not be enough to challenge current external evaluation since it does little to counteract neoliberal politics, and fails to provide the accountability that science owes the public. To assure that the many worthy purposes of science (i.e. truth, democracy, well-being, justice) are valued and pursued, I argue science needs more and more diverse external evaluation. The diversification of science evaluation can go in many directions: towards both quantified performance metrics and qualitative internal assessments and beyond economic productivity to value science’s broader societal contributions. In addition to administrators and public servants, science evaluators must also include diverse counterpublics of scientists: civil society, journalists, interested lay public and scientists themselves. More diverse external evaluation is perhaps no more accurate than neoliberal quantified metrics, but by valuing the myriad contributions of science and the diversity of its producers and users, it is hopefully less partial and perhaps more just.

Career Plans

This article investigates who wants, or does not want to work in Russian public administration, and why. A majority of Russians believe that public servants are concerned with improving their personal well-being rather than serving the public interest. Understanding working sector choices is thus the first step to attract talent into the civil service. We study public employment intention among a group of students of public administration in two elite Moscow universities who are relatively early undergraduates. Parents working in the civil service are the most important public sector career motivators of students in Russia, more important than positive perceptions of public sector compensation and its impact on society. Our findings imply that early-stage career plans are shaped outside university lecture rooms. We conclude that teaching public administration in Russia will have to focus on drawing a line between behavior that falls below standards of the profession and efforts to contribute to the well-being of citizens.

At the present stage of the state-building in Ukraine, professionalisation of the public service and formation of the professional linguistic competence of public servants are top-priority issues. Proper command of the state language and the ability to use it correctly is mandatory for the people working in public administration. In this regard, an urgent need arises to clearly identify the competences of business communication and the areas of competence development of public servants generating strong interest on behalf of scientists. The rationale of the topic researched is determined by both the theoretical and practical importance of the issues related to the improvement of the professional speech of specialists working under conditions of constant communication (contact and distant, direct and indirect, oral and written, dialogic and monologic, interpersonal and mass, private and official, informational and factual, related to the inner world of the speaker). The objective of the research is to determine the ways of improving the linguistic competence of public servants. The achievement of the objective in question provides for implementation of the following tasks: • Generalise the approaches to the definitions of the notions of “communicative competence,” “linguistic competence,” “communicative behaviour,” “culture of business communication,” and “communicative professiogram”• Determine the linguistic competence as a factor required for shaping up the professional image of a public servant• Develop proposals for enhancing the linguistic training of public servants • Propose the measures to deepen the linguistic competence of public servants through the systematised linguistic communicative professiogram. The article presents a set of measures aimed at improving the linguistic competence of public administration employees. The emphasis is made on the communicative professiogram which outlines the components of linguistic competences required and the forms of enhancing the communicative culture of public servants.

Main Motive

The article is devoted to the study of the motivation of the civil servants and local government officials’work. The concept of the motivation was revealed. The elements of moral and psychological methods ofthe motivation were analyzed. The importance of material and immaterial stimulation in public service wasexplained. The main motives and peculiarities of stimulation of a public servant in the modern conditionsof public service development in Ukraine were studied on the basis of empirical data. In particular, ithas been found out that the main motive for joining the public service is a stable salary and the desire ofpublic servants to work for the benefit of the state and society. So, mercantile aspirations in financial termsdominate - stable payment for work, as well as patriotic, valuable, moral and ethical desire to work forthe benefit of the state are in the minds of the citizens. The results of the study show that the prestige ofpublic service remains quite low. The main problems which negatively influence the image of the publicservice and make it unattractive to the public are high staff turnover, incomplete implementation of socialguarantees, poor financial support, and partial satisfaction of the basic needs of public servants, whichreduce the effectiveness of public administration in Ukraine.It is determined that the main way to increase the efficiency of public servants and in general publicadministration is to develop effective methods of the motivation and the stimulation, both economic andnon-economic. It was proven, that effective motivation in the public service depends to a large extent notonly on its filling of highly qualified personnel and efficiency, but also on trust and respect of the population.

Depth Study

The search of effective ways of preventing corruption in all its manifestations in the public service should be directly related to the in-depth study and formation of common standards of legal regulation of "involvement" of close persons of public servants in his professional activity, the special nature of personal relations which creates preconditions for possible use (as well as his or her relatives) of public service for his private interests. 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.

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).

This paper aims to explain the alternative strategies that can be done by the Village Head (Keuchik) as public servants, especially those related to the service of population administration. Public services should continue to be improved and involve recipients of services. The problem is in the service process, in addition to the quality is still low, the public as recipients of services rarely included. The methods used in this study are qualitative and secondary data. It is found that there are at least two strategies that can be done in order to improve the service and public participation, such as the Citizen Charter and the application of information and communication technology. Based on these findings, Keuchik as public servant is expected to implement both strategies in providing and improving public services. Keywords: village, strategy, village head, public service, participation
