The article presents the experience of using models of public service organization in the European community. The analysis of the most widespread models of public service in Europe is carried out on the basis of the presented material. The general tendencies of the presented models development of public service are also revealed. The possibility of using the experience of organizing models of public service in countries with the search for the optimal model of organization of government, including Ukraine is examined. The article presents the key characteristics of the public service organization, which are reflected in the corresponding model – a systematized set of conditions and characteristics of the public service, which reveals its organizational and functional features. The article clarifies and summarizes the presented models of public service, outlines the characteristics of classical, mixed and new models of civil service. The classic models of public service – career, job and mixed are described in detail. Special attention is given to «new models of public service» (modernization, transitory, model of new public service, postmodern model). In practice none of the countries of the European Community today has one or another model of public service in its purest form. The article analyses of each separate model of public service, and it is concluded that elements of public service of the listed countries only gravitate to any one model and, as a rule, combine elements of others. Current trends in public service reform indicate the convergence, mutual enrichment and interpenetration of different models of civil service in the European environment. Particular emphasis is put on the influence of a number of factors, such as (the peculiarity of the historical development of the state, the specifics of the legal system, the form of government, political regime), and so on. The author shows that there are a number of closely studied models of public service: the modernization model, which is based on «society-oriented service»; a transient model of public service, the hallmark of which is «self-centred service»; models of the new public service; postmodern model of public service or as it is abbreviated as Post – MPS. It should be noted that there is a widespread influence of a mixed model of public service, which is characterized by the existence within the personnel system of a certain list of positions with its own specific regime of career organization and access to public service. Key words: public service models; public service; European community; new public service model.

The concepts of rational bureaucracy, New Public Management and Good Governance were studied. It is indicated that wrongly assume that one of them is more progressive, because all concepts originally aimed at the rationalization of the public service and subordination its own interests according the interests of society. A set of conditions for the participation of citizens in governance exists today. There are a networked organization, a partnership, a production of public goods, and value of public interest. It is proved that in the Concept of the Russian Federation civil service reform (2001) laid the modernization potential for building an open and democratic public service. We postulate the classification of the barriers and challenges that hinder the civil service reform, and we formulate the growth points and the alternative transformation vectors. Then we consider the risks of each alternative in the short, medium and long term, and how to overcome them. It is indicated that the priority should be the harmonization of the legal framework for civil service and public sector. In the first step is need the convergence of the legal content of civil service with other activities in the public sector, and the renouncement the civil servants to serve to politicians, which is aimed at increasing their personal responsibility. It is necessary to implement the new basic legal principle of targeting efforts of the civil servants to achieve economic growth and improve the quality of citizens life. In the next step a new phenomenon – the public service – should be formed. The new public service will include the civil service, municipal service and the public sector organizations, as well as some other types of organizations. This requires some changes in the personnel policy: the formation of a single personnel reserve for the entire public service, improving the qualification requirements for all public positions based on professional specializations, and ensuring the effective public control. A systematic approach to the creation of the public service will increase the efficiency of public institutions and their resilience in the face of global instability. Our conclusions were tested in draft the Strategy of socio-economic development of Russia for the period till 2030.

Welfare states have historically been built on values of egalitarianism and universalism and through high taxation that provides free education, health care, and social security for all. Ideally, this encourages participation of all citizens and formation of inclusive public sphere. In this welfare model, the public service media are also considered some of the main institutions that serve the well-being of an entire society. That is, independent, publicly funded media companies are perceived to enhance equality, citizenship, and social solidarity by providing information and programming that is driven by public rather than commercial interest. This article explores how the public service media and their values of universality, equality, diversity, and quality are affected by datafication and a platformed media environment. It argues that the embeddedness of public service media in a platformed media environment produces complex and contradictory dependencies between public service media and commercial platforms. The embeddedness has resulted in simultaneous processes of adapting to social media logics and datafication within public service media as well as in attempts to create alternative public media value-driven data practices and new public media spaces.

Public service accounts for a substantial share of a country’s economic activity. It is designed as an agent of fruitful change and development in the state. The transformation of any society or system depends on the effectiveness and efficiency of its civil service. The article examines the nature of professionalization and innovation in Nigerian public service. It argues that professionalization in the public service is an overarching value that determines how its activities will be carried out. The article note that various attempts have been made in Nigeria to professionalised and encourage innovation in the public service, but these have not bring about the expected changes in the public service. It therefore advocates for professionalization and innovations as panacea to the ills of public service in Nigeria. The article concludes that no public service can meet the challenges of the twenty first century without a stronger commitment to the professionalization of its workforce.

Improving the efficiency of public service is an important area for overcoming the crisis in relations between the state, society and a citizen. Modernization of civil service of Canada is carried out in a number of ways. Changes were made in a recruitment order for civil service by means of expansion of the powers of persons competent to solve these issues in ministries and government departments. One of the directions for improving the quality of the civil service was an increase in the level of training of public servants. Coordination of the educational process in various government departments is carried out by the Canadian School of Public Service. The system of human resources planning has been introduced. The quality of public services provided is improved with help of timely providing them in compliance with all requirements of a particular government department, and taking into account the rights of citizens by achieving a balance between the services provided and the money spent for this purpose and regular monitoring and evaluation of the dynamics of the providing process of services. One of the areas of modernization of the public service is the introduction of strict control over of public servants’ ethical standards. Actions that lead to a conflict of interest are legislatively prohibited. Strict bans in Canada are implied regarding the employment of persons who replace public office after the end of their career. As a result of the measures taken to fight corruption, including a sphere that is largely susceptible to corruption risks, Canada is among top ten countries with the least corruption. Achievement of positive results in the activities of civil servants became possible due to the state’s special attention to the issues of its modernization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has lasted more than one year, and vaccines are the primary expectation of ending it. The vaccine development successfully accelerated from 10-15 years to only about 12-16 months through several adjustments. In a health crisis, the vaccine can be accepted through Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by a country's regulatory authority. In Indonesia, the role is carried out by the Indonesia Food and Drug Administration (BPOM). This study proposes analyzing the manifestation of the principles of the New Public Service in issuing EUA for the COVID-19 vaccine. This research uses qualitative methods through secondary data analysis on written sources of information such as websites, reports, social media, books, and journals. Based on the analysis, in issuing the EUA COVID-19 vaccine, BPOM has performed the principles of the New Public Service. BPOM, with all stakeholders, insisted on their values (quality, safety, and efficacy) to facilitate the EUA process due to the urgency of the emergency. With this effort, the public can afford vaccines that safe and meet the efficacy and quality standard within the expected time.Keywords : COVID-19, Emergency Use Authorization, Indonesia FDA, New Public Service

Manova Analysis

This study investigates how citizens define their role qua citizen and how the public role they assign themselves matters in their assessment of satisfaction with public service performance. We compared survey respondents who identified their citizen role as customer (n=280), partner (n=353) or owner (n=467) to test this relation. Theoretically, the dominance of New Public Management (NPM) scholarship has resulted in the framing of citizens as simply customers, but our empirical study finds that citizens consider themselves more as partners or owners of government. This mismatch in conception was our research hypothesis for further research. We then ran a number of t-tests and carried out a MANOVA analysis, the results of which indicate that there is a significant difference between the customer and partner groups regarding expectations and satisfaction on the quality of their living area but not regarding performance. There is also evidence that shows that the role citizens assign to themselves is related to their public service expectations but that the connection between their view of their role and their assessment of performance is weak.

Between 2008 and 2015, Ireland undertook unprecedented and systemic public sector reforms in a polity not traditionally considered a prominent reformer. While some of these reforms comprised part of the loan programme agreement with EU and international actors, many others did not. This article argues that the crisis in Ireland provided a window of opportunity to introduce reforms that political and administrative elites had previously found difficult to implement. The authority of the Troika was invoked to provide legitimacy for controversial initiatives, yet some of the reforms went further than the loan programme strictly required. A number of these concerning organisational rationalisation, the public service ‘bargain’ and transversal policy coordination are considered here. Agreements were negotiated with public sector unions that facilitated sharp cuts in pay and conditions, reducing the potential for opposition to change. The reform effort was further legitimated by the reformers’ post-New Public Management, whole-of-government discourse, which situated considerations of effectiveness and efficiency in a broader framework of public service quality and delivery.

Service Managers

While there is universal recognition of their important role in the functioning of administrations and for the motivation of public officials, the values that serve as a reference for the public service are witnessing a change in the way they are understood and implemented in practice, particularly with regard to the new requirements of public management. The analysis developed in this article centres on the interplay between various dimensions relating to the perception and use of the key values of the French civil service and highlights the tensions that prevail despite the apparent preservation of the axiological reference universe of those concerned. It raises the question of the role of schools in the training of values management. It draws on the results of a survey conducted in France by the network of civil service schools (Réseau des écoles de service public; RESP) among managers undergoing training and their teachers and supervisory staff. Points for practitioners The study shows that organizations that are responsible for the initial or continuing training of civil servants offer a breeding ground for the (re)production of public service values. However, for civil service managers to be able to deal with the potential tensions between values (no clear hierarchy, apparent contradictions) it is necessary to develop their capacities for reflective analysis and practical application that will allow a critical distance and promote a contextualized ethical approach.
