Aim. The presented study aims to determine the peculiarities of introducing digital tools in public administration using different types of competencies.Tasks. The author describes major prerequisites for the transformation of the public sector in the context of digitalization; analyzes modern digital technologies and the mechanism of their implementation in public services using digital platforms, assesses their role, and identifies obstacles to the digital transformation of public administration.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods, such as the monographic method, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, description, and applied methods of structural, systems, and comparative economic analysis.Results. Digital transformation of the public administration system changes the understanding of management from management as execution of functions to management as a network of  relationships between the state and its citizens. Reformation of the public administration model based on the implementation of digital solutions forms the new public administration concept. However, the results of the public administration system’s reformation using digital platforms are ambiguous and require study. One of the main obstacles to the formation of a “digital government” is the lack of competent specialists and qualified personnel skilled in the field of  information technology (IT), Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc. These and other technologies are vital for the formation of a high-quality public administration system. Furthermore, the new information reality places increased demands on the skills of modern public officials, whose level of competence largely determines the quality of management. This study identifies and analyzes the necessary competencies of employees involved in the public administration system at different levels.Conclusions. Over time, digital transformation of public administration will become more evident and meaningful. It can be assumed that digitalization will make it possible to leave behind subjective decisions of individual public officials, improving the quality of provided services and reducing costs as much as possible. Digital transformation of public administration is not limited to the automation and optimization of some processes in the execution of public functions, as it also involves the implementation of modern information and communication technology (ICT) systems to improve the quality of the public administration system as a whole.

The article is dedicated to researching the impact of environmental factors on the processes of digital transformation of public administration. In today's digital economy, the effectiveness of the executive branch providing public services to citizens and organizations largely depends on the political will of the country's leadership, the socio-economic situation, as well as the technological and technological development of the public sphere. The authors to assess the impact of environmental factors were pest analysis, which reveals the most significant aspects of the impact of the macro environment and develop a strategy for the development of public authorities in the context of the digital transformation of their activities. The methodological basis is research into the problems of the system of providing electronic public services, the regulatory framework for their digitalization, the study of statistics, indicating the level of quality of the provision of public services. The results of the study revealed the most significant political, economic, social and technological factors of the macro environment and presented the main directions for improving the processes of digital transformation of public administration. Specific measures have been proposed for each group of factors to enable the executive branch to adapt to the external environment, thereby improving their performance. The results of the study can be used to develop programmes and plans for government agencies to digitize their public services

AbstractThe article focuses on the problem of the civil service’s dependence on its political superiors in Poland in 1996–2017. It aims to analyse the motivations of politicians responsible for civil service reforms and to assess the impact of these reforms on the effectiveness of the corps’ functioning. The authors conceptualise the problem of politicisation of the civil service by referring to the theory of politicisation adding an extra dimension of political ideas and institutions as an important factor of change in Poland’s public administration system. The article describes the stages of civil service reform in Poland over the last twenty years, taking into account the political context, the most important postulated changes and the associated controversies with reference to the concepts outlined in the theoretical part. The study also comprises a relevant literature review based on a number of sources, including the reports published by the Head of the Civil Service in Poland, international databases (including Quality of Government) and specialist reports with a particular emphasis on research devoted to Central Europe. The findings paint a multi-layered and nuanced picture of the evolution of the Polish civil service and its strong associations with the issue of the so-called “unfinished transformation”. In addition the article confirms that both the instrumentalisation of institutions by the “camp” of political opportunists and their formal, radical reconstruction by the “ideological contrarians” resulting in the centralisation of power around the ruling parties have had a negative effect on the quality of civil service functioning in Poland.

The purpose of the article. The aim of the article is to study the processes of digital transformation of the model of public administration in the regions. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the scientific works of scientists in the study of the system of digital transformation of public administration in the regions. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: theoretical generalization – determination of the main directions of modernization of public administration with the use of digital technologies; methods of statistical analysis – characteristics of the number of public authorities and local governments that provide the opportunity to use the tools of e-democracy. Results. The current state and main trends of digitalization of public administration are studied, which allowed to identify areas and areas of modernization of public administration on the basis of digital transformation, namely: modernization of public services; development of branch e-government; ensuring electronic interaction of state electronic information resources, unification and standardization of electronic registers, state databases, cross-border interaction centers; development of e-democracy and transition to digital document management systems. The level of application of these technologies differs significantly not only at the regional level, but also at the level of municipalities and individual communities and depends primarily on the political will of public administration and local self-government. An analysis of the state of digital transformation of public administration in Odesa region using surveys and studies of national and international rating agencies, which allowed to determine the current comparative state of digital adaptation of public administration in Odesa region and identify the most problematic issues that are typical for other regions and necessary to take into account when developing and implementing a regional strategy for digital transformation of the region for the next planning period, namely: administrative (comparative limited open data on budget information, regulations and procurement, insufficient use of e-democracy elements in management processes); technical (low quality of the basic information and communication infrastructure of e-government; insufficient level of IT support of internal document flow; understaffing of the workforce with the latest technology; problems with communication and quality of the Internet in some areas); organizational (lack of effective coordination, cooperation and control between different departments, functions and subsystems of public administration, low level of data protection) personnel (lack of highly qualified specialists) and financial. Practical meaning. Analysis of the data on the number of public authorities and local governments that provide the opportunity to use the tools of e-democracy will determine the prospects for further work for public authorities. Prospects for further research. Accelerating the transition to the digital administration model requires reengineering management systems, processes and functions in accordance with the capabilities provided by new technologies, in particular using a process approach to management and networking, creating a single regional platform, interactive databases, implementation of electronic democracy in decision-making processes.

The article is devoted to research of theoretical problems of the concepts of the subject and object of public marketing. The definitions of these concepts are considered in the article, the evolution of their development is studied. The article provides an analysis of the main approaches to the notion of subjects and objects of public marketing, their relationship and role in the processes of public marketing. The authors proposes concrete approaches to their systematization. These approaches allow us to identify specific types of public marketing and their main characteristics. Relying on the analysis of the concept of “subject of public (state) management”, it is concluded that as bodies of state marketing, most often act as executive bodies of state power. In this case, the following levels of marketing subjects in the system of public administration are allocated: the highest level of executive power; Branch central bodies of executive power; Local government bodies; Separate government agencies. It is noted that the diversity of subjects of public marketing is explained, first of all, by the dependence on the tasks of the state and municipal government, the possibilities of introducing the marketing concept of these subjects and certain characteristics of the said objects of state marketing. It is noted that the concept of “subject of public marketing” is not always the identical notion of “subject of public administration”. First, not all public authorities are subjects of state marketing. In some cases, this is not appropriate, for example, in the activities of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine or the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Secondly, state marketing is just one of many alternative management concepts, which is not always the most effective in the public administration system.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.

Recently, the development of agricultural technology has been focused on achieving higher reliability and quality of work. The aim of the presented paper was to examine the possibilities of evaluating the quality of work of wide-area irrigation machinery by monitoring the coefficients of uniformity and non-uniformity of irrigation. The object of the research was pivot irrigation machinery equipped with sprinklers with a total length from 230 to 540 m. The commonly applied quality of work parameter for wide-range irrigators is the irrigation uniformity coefficient according to Heermann and Hein CUH. Work quality evaluations were also carried out through other parameters applicable in practice, such as irrigation uniformity coefficients calculated according to Christiansen CU, Wilcox and Swailes Cws, and our introduced parameters, the coefficient ar (derived from the degree of unevenness according to Oehler) and the degree of uniformity γr (derived from the degree of non-uniformity according to Voight). Other applied parameters for determining the quality of work of wide-range irrigation machinery were the coefficients of irrigation uniformity according to Hart and Reynolds CUhr, further according to Criddle CUcr and subsequently according to Beale and Howell CUbr. Next, the parameters of the non-uniformity coefficient according to Oehler a, the coefficient of variation according to Stefanelli Cv, the degree of non-uniformity according to Voigt γ and the degree of non-uniformity according to Hofmeister Ef were evaluated. Field tests were performed during the growing season of cultivated crops (potatoes, corn and sugar beet) in the village of Trakovice (agricultural enterprise SLOV-MART, southwest of the Slovakia) and in the district of Piešťany (Agrobiop, joint stock company). During the research, the inlet operating parameters (speed stage, inlet pressure, irrigation dose), technical parameters (number of sprayers, total length, number of chassis) and weather conditions (wind speed and temperature) were recorded. The obtained results were examined by one-way ANOVA analysis depending on the observed coefficient or input conditions and subsequently verified by Tukey and Duncan tests as needed. Irrigation uniformity values ranged from 67.58% (Cws) to 95.88% (CUbh) depending on the input conditions. Irrigation non-uniformity values ranged from 8.58 (a, Ef) to 32.42% (Cv). The results indicate a statistically significant effect of the site of interest and thus the impact of particular field conditions (p < 0.05). When evaluating the application of different coefficients of irrigation uniformity, the results showed a statistically significant effect only in the first test (p = 0.03, p < 0.05). During further repeated measurements, the quality of work increased due to the performed inspection of all sprayers and the reduction in the influence of the wind.

Slogans play an important role in conveying information to targeted audiences, and the translation of slogans tends to be studied under the rubric of public-notice translation. Previous research mainly uses researchers’ expertise to evaluate the quality of this type of translation. Yet, little is known about what the targeted readers think about the translation, although their opinions present key information that helps to determine whether the translation has achieved the intended effect. This paper elicits and systematically analyzes readers’ responses. We investigate the case of Macao, a rapidly growing economy where the demand for English translation has markedly increased in recent decades. Public administration bodies in Macao have commissioned Chinese-to-English translation in varied areas such as tourism, social security and welfare, cultural and sports events. We sampled ten translated slogans that were used in the public sector, and administered survey questionnaires (n=130) to both source-text and target-text readers. The two groups of readers’ evaluations, based on the criteria of fluency, conciseness, persuasiveness and mnemonic effect, reveal that the translations are perceived significantly less favorably than the originals are. Readers most strongly disliked word-for-word translations, and pointed out numerous problems with the translations such as ungrammaticality, inappropriate word use, lack of appeal, and unintelligibility due to insufficient background knowledge. This research demonstrates the tangible value of using readers’ responses to evaluate translation quality. It also has implications for translator training, and recommends that public authorities should institute a rigorous quality assurance system.
