Managerial Culture

The ways of development and structural changes of the Ukrainian society also affected the public administration, which should gradually be transformed into a more open one in the dialogue with the civil society, to become public. Public administration, if it is effective, must fully provide, satisfy, and regulate the activities of society, state institutions, local governments, civil society institutions, labor collectives, and so on. In addition, it is also important to say that the changes and transformations that take place in management affect the development of new principles of management itself in practice, and the modern perception and use of social values in the management process. The outlined changes and transformations determine and, in some way, promote the processes of effective approach to the problems of research of modern directions of formation, development and comprehension of managerial culture. Mostly, this process is related to the real life of society, the state, government agencies, civil society institutions, effective social cooperation between the state and civil society, and so on. In fact, the formation of the components of managerial culture, its place and role in public administration largely depend on these factors. We understand managerial culture as a socio-political phenomenon, which in the process of its formation, is structured into a sufficient public institution, which has an impact on management policy by the state, society, various groups, local communities, social organizations, etc. Hence, the importance of managerial culture increases, which is formed during a certain socio-historical time. We realize that a manager already has some established qualities of managerial culture. Its shaping, and subsequent formation, occurs in a variety of socio-cultural circumstances, the environment, are both organized and spontaneous. The professional activity and work of a public manager depends on it in many respects. Based on this, the tasks of studying managerial culture from the standpoint of new views of the transition to public administration; identification of perspective areas for both scientific and theoretical analysis, for practical application are crucially important today.

Legal Communication

E-government is a form of public administration which promotes efficiency, openness and transparency of public authorities and local governments with the use of information and telecommunications technologies to form a new type of state focused on meeting the needs of citizens. E-government is studied as a way, a form, the concept, system and mechanism of cooperation between the state (public administration) and public sectors (civil society). As a method for legal communication between civil society and public administration, e-government plays the role of a means of public self-government, which involves interactivity and continuity of interaction between citizens and the state, the presence of public control over the activities of public authorities. This article is dedicated to reveal the role of e-government for realizing the goals of legal communication between its participants in public life. However, further in-depth analysis requires understanding the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, as well as exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between public authorities and civil society. The implementation of e-government in Ukraine should be provided on a qualitatively new level to develop efficient legal communication between government and society as a whole, strengthen confidence in the state and its policies, improve cooperation between public authorities and local governments, business, citizens and civil servants. The authors of this article adhered to its purpose, which is to analyze the understanding of the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, and exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between government and civil society.

Constitutional Principle

In its modern form, local government and local self-government were formed as a result of constitutional and municipal reforms of the late eighteenth – early nineteenth century. Their formation and development have historically been associated with the process of transition from feudal organization to industrial society. The stronghold of the bourgeoisie were the cities that fought for independence in the management of local affairs. Medieval cities with their administrative, financial and judicial privileges, practically, carried in themselves “embryos of municipalism”. This was expressed, first of all, in the requirements of giving independence to communities and larger historically formed territorial communities. The free community was the leitmotif of the concept of municipal autonomy in Europe. According to many authors, from the middle of the XIX century local government of this kind began to be called local self-government. The public-state concept of self-government is optimal for Ukraine. First, it ensures the formation of a system of local self-government as an institution of civil society. Secondly, such a model contributes to the active involvement of local governments in the implementation of functions and tasks of public administration. The theory of social functions of municipal government has the greatest influence on the practice of local self-government at the present stage of state development. According to it, local governments are social services that are able to meet the interests of all segments of the population. As representatives of the socially useful, non-political activities of the state, local governments are in partnership with him on the basis of mutual benefit and receive financial assistance in response to increased costs. Local self-government naturally depends on the state, in fact acts as a guiding and controlling authority. Local self-government as a somewhat independent institution of civil society is a necessary element of the mechanism for smoothing political differences between the legislative and executive branches of government. Its further development is a prerequisite for the democratization of public administration and the functioning of the political system, which is the basis for the full development of the state. After all, developed local self-government testifies to democratic public administration and ensuring the constitutional principle of state control over citizens. Key words: local government; Anglo-Saxon model of local self-government; continental model of local self-government; local (communal system) self-government of Germany; the Iberian model of local self-government; Soviet model of local self-government; public-state concept.

AbstractFollowing the completion of the process of decentralisation of public administration in Poland in 2003, a number of tasks implemented previously by the state authorities were transferred to the local level. One of the most significant changes to the financing and management methods of the local authorities was the transfer of tasks related to culture and national heritage to the set of tasks implemented by local governments. As a result of the decentralisation process, the local government units in Poland were given significant autonomy in determining the purposes of their budgetary expenditures on culture. At the same time, they were obliged to cover these expenses from their own revenues.This paper focuses on the analysis of expenditures on culture covered by the voivodship budgets, taking into consideration the structure of cultural institutions by their types, between 2003-2015. The location quotient (LQ) was applied to two selected years (2006 and 2015) to illustrate the diversity of expenditures on culture in individual voivodships.

State Administration

Local governments in the Slovak Republic are important in public administration and form an important part of the public sector, as they provide various public services. Until 1990, all public services were provided only by the state. The reform of public administration began in 1990 with the decentralization of competencies. Several competencies were transferred to local governments from the state, and thus municipalities began to provide public services that the state previously provided. Registry offices were the first to be acquired by local governments from the state. This study aimed to characterize the transfer of competencies and their financing from state administration to local government using the example of registry offices in the Slovak Republic. In the paper, we evaluated the financing of this competency from 2007 to 2018 at the level of individual regions of the Slovak Republic. The results of the analysis and testing of hypotheses indicated that a higher number of inhabitants in individual regions did not affect the number of actions at these offices, despite the fact that the main role of the registry office is to keep registry books, in which events, such as births, weddings, and deaths, are registered.

Governments are showing an interest in, or incorporating, gamification into their governance processes and/or services to citizens. The article describes the concept of gamification, examines its potential from the point of view of using elements of the game in public administration, for example, on the websites of authorities and special platforms, as well as in offline mode. The conclusion is made about the goals of introducing gamification into the practice of public authorities. The state administration can not only be the author of these projects, but also assist civil society institutions (public associations, citizens) in their development.

Abstract Corruption is a recurring phenomenon throughout history, so different conceptions seek to formulate a concept that defines it. This theoretical essay aims to introduce a perspective that broadens the understanding of corruption beyond the currents of thought that prevail in studies about Brazilian public administration. This study indicates that the epistemic reconstruction of the meaning of corruption should derive from the conception of public interest as a result of deliberative processes between citizens and the State. Such perspective contributes to the debate about the importance of participation of the civil society in controlling corruption and creating public interest itself. This study also highlights that more efficient control is not only restricted to legislation reforms but it also relies on the enhancement civic virtues.
