The aim of the article is to identify limitations in the created and constantly changing approach to assessing the science eficiency, based on ratings and points given to a researcher, with a logical justification for a different approach, which is reduced to creating “a scientific product”. The problem of measuring the science effectiveness and evaluating scientific results is certainly broader, and it is connected with the existing system of statistical accounting, namely data that do not allow people, for example, to reliably estimate even the “knowledge economy” size as a sector or a highly productive workplace, as the level of manufacturability. If the methods for measuring these parameters are extremely imperfect, then in relation to science and scientific activity, the situation looks even more ambiguous, since the type of activity itself is extremely heterogeneous, and the so-called breakthrough results appear discretely, moreover, often even unexpectedly for the scholars themselves. The research methodology is presented by comparative analysis, approaches from the general theory of economic measurements. The main result comes down to the fact that, in the current mode, the researcher’s activity cannot be assessed by some points scored, but, in the author's opinion, it should be measured by the result of what scientific product is created by the researcher, taking into account weighting coefficients for scientific work experience and current contribution in accordance with the carried out researches. A scientific product is the content of scientific achievements; it suggests assessing the scientist's work at a high salary, reflecting the qualifications and work experience, as well as evaluating the current contribution. The system of remuneration for a scientist should be simple and understandable, fundamental science should become a part of the public sector of Russia, for which the tariff and qualification scale in terms of organizing remuneration is quite applicable. The main task of science is to develop its own apparatus of cognition and to solve urgent problems by scientific methods, as the necessity for settling them is high. To this end, it will be necessary to strengthen the position of the RAS, placing it within the framework of the public sector together with its institutes, restoring the coordinating function of the RAS governing bodies.

SummaryIt is just ten years since the Directorate of Colonial Surveys became responsible for the production and publication of maps of the Falkland Islands Dependencies; in this account it is proposed to give a description of the work completed and an outline of the future programme.“Operation Tabarin”, inaugurated in 1943, marked the re-establishment of British occupation and scientific activity in the region and included in its policy a programme of continuous scientific investigation within the area between 20° and 80° W. This venture later became known as the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, or F.I.D.S. It is in co-operation with F.I.D.S., and more particularly with the surveyors who work at the Directorate for several months on their return from the Antarctic, that the compilation and plotting of a systematic series of medium scale maps has been possible. In 1951 an article was published in this journal giving a full description of the type of survey undertaken, the methods and the instruments used and a brief summary of the maps published and planned.At first the need was for maps for planning and other non-scientific purposes, but since 1951 the emphasis has moved towards the larger scales which are required principally as a basis for scientific work as well as for general use within the Dependencies. Between 1948 and 1950 a series of maps covering most of the area north of 75° S. was published at 1:500,000, and this is still the most useful scale for gaining a general picture of the topography. In 1953 work began on a series of maps covering a similar area to be published at 1:200,000. During the last ten years maps have been compiled at scales ranging from 1:9 million to 1:15,000, many of which have been printed and issued for general purposes, while others have been produced to illustrate specialized reports on, for example, meteorology in the Dependencies. It is not, however, proposed to include a detailed summary of these maps here, the following description covers only those maps which are on sale to the public or which form part of a systematic series.

The article discusses the study of the legal status of collective subjects of scientific activity. The relevance of the research is predetermined by the importance of the qualitative organization of the work of collective subjects of scientific activity in order to achieve the most effective scientific results. The research methodology includes general methods of scientific research – systemic, logical, historical, as well as special methods, including comparative legal and formal legal. The formal legal method makes it possible to analyze the legal terminology on the research topic above. The method of comparative legal research allows us to compare different points of view and highlight the main problems of legal regulation of collective subjects of scientific law. The research includes three main stages: (1) – terminological analysis of the terminology used by the legislator; (2) – critical analysis of the legal definitions proposed by the legislator and the identification of the problems of legal regulation arising in this connection; (3) – comparison of controversial opinions and determination of ways to improve scientific legislation. The main problems identified are the uncertainty in the delimitation of the statuses of related collective subjects of scientific work, as well as the mixing of scientific and educational functions of these organizations. As a result of the study, the authors have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve legislation aimed at regulating the legal status of scientific organizations and other collective subjects of scientific law.

Great Responsibility

The aim of the article is to reveal the results of research of Lithuanian public servants motivation, which was conducted in early 2010 as an integral part of public servants motivation research conducted in 12 countries. The results of the research revealed, that a larger part of respondents were minded to participate in public life, sympathized to others and were prepared to sacrifice for them and welfare of the society. Not all respondents were certain, that the main purpose of their activity was serving for the good of the society. Goodwill, sympathy, a wish to help needy people, aspiration for justice were not strange to respondents, but they were not ready to suffer individual losses for this. Younger respondents and those whose work experience in public service was short, were less ready to compassionate others or to sacrifice for them. Although new methods and means (absorbed form the private sector) are applied in the public sector, the great responsibility, the duty to care for welfare of all society and public interest cannot be forgotten. These factors must be taken into account in the processes of public servants training and their socialization at work place.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ppaa.10.1.234

The Difference

Responding to a high fiscal deficit, the Serbian government introduced a set of fiscal consolidation measures at the beginning of 2015, including a 10% public sector wage cut. This paper analyses the difference in wages between the public and the private sector in Serbia and changes in the public sector wage premium after the measures were introduced. The results show that, similarly to many other countries, wages in the Serbian public sector are on average higher than in the private sector, partially due to the better labour market characteristics of public sector workers. The public sector wage premium was 17.4% in 2014 and was mainly driven by higher returns to education, work experience, and occupation in this sector. In 2015 the premium dropped by 6 percentage points due to a lessening of the difference in returns between the sectors. Therefore, in addition to reducing budget expenditures, fiscal consolidation in Serbia has reduced wage inequality between these sectors.

Revolving Doors

By applying event history analysis to a unique large sample of more than 300 government affairs managers working for companies active in the European Union (EU), this article investigates whether managers with work experience in the public or nonprofit sector are more likely to progress in their career in their current company and whether career progression depends on when that experience takes place. The findings suggest that managers with experience in the public and nonprofit sector are less likely to progress in their careers. This effect becomes stronger when the stage of the career at which the manager had experience in the public sector is taken into consideration. These findings are contrary to the expectations from the public and private management literature and suggest that we should see less revolving door activity in Brussels. We propose that these findings are driven by the distinct EU public policy process and the variance in individual and organizational incentives in the EU public sector.

Complex Picture

One recurrent narrative in the discussion about managerial public sector reforms is the growth in organizational professionals as a response to new accountability regimes. New Zealand has experienced modest growth rates in the general public sector workforce. Less studied, though, is whether the composition of the public sector workforce has changed, with an increase in organizational functions supportive to management. Based on descriptive workforce data, followed by follow-up interviews, this article presents a multifaceted and complex picture of a growing new public bureaucracy with the main task of managing chains of accountability.

The Difference

AbstractWe examine differences in altruism and laziness between public sector employees and private sector employees. Our theoretical model predicts that the likelihood of public sector employment increases with a worker’s altruism, and increases or decreases with a worker’s laziness depending on his altruism. Using questionnaire data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, we find that public sector employees are significantly more altruistic and lazy than observationally equivalent private sector employees. A series of robustness checks show that these patterns are stronger among higher educated workers; that the sorting of altruistic people to the public sector takes place only within the caring industries; and that the difference in altruism is already present at the start of people’s career, while the difference in laziness is only present for employees with sufficiently long work experience.
