Strategic Knowledge Management

New public management and the more recent concept of new public governance have become the dominant management doctrines in the public sector. Public organizations have become increasingly network-like units with various governance relations with actors from the public, business, and voluntary sectors. Their organization is based more on networks than on traditional hierarchies, accompanied by a transition from the command-and-control type of management to initiate-and-coordinate type of governance.

Abstract In November 2018, the University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy hosted an international workshop on the role of organization theory in public management. The intention was to renew interest in organization theory in public management research. Scholars such as Herbert Simon, Herbert Kaufman, and Richard Selznick made seminal contributions to organization theory through the study of public organizations from the 1940s through the 1960s. In our estimation, organization theory is underrepresented in public administration scholarship for the last several decades. There are natural reasons for this trend, including the discipline’s turn towards organizational behavior and the ascendancy of techniques that advance the study of large datasets and those that allow for experimental control. The recent emergence of “behavioral public administration” is a prominent example of this evolution. This symposium is an attempt to make a place at the table of public management for organization theory. The articles in this symposium contain articles from scholars who operate in the tradition of classic organization theory in new and innovative ways to lend intellectual purchase to studies of public organizations and public organizational networks.

In the article is presented the scientific substantiation of standardization of the professional training (education) of the civil servants on the basis of the competent approach as a fundamental part of modernization of the civil service. The research establishes: among the main components of the modernization of the civil service of Ukraine is the reform of the professional training system for the civil servants, and part of it is the modernization of the professional training (education) of the civil servants; the lack of standardization of the professional training (education) of the civil servants of Ukraine; the need to take into account the experience of the developed countries of the world that standardized both the professional activities and appropriate professional training (education) of the employee based on a competent approach and mutually consistent with these standards.It was established that for the modernization of the system of professional training (education) of the civil servants of Ukraine in the conditions of European integration it is necessary: to clarify in the current legislation of Ukraine the concept of “competence” as a demonstrated ability to apply in practice knowledge and skills (in accordance with the standards of ISO 9001); to specify in the National Classifier (of professions) of Ukraine not only senior positions in the public administration, but also other positions of the civil service; to develop and approve professional standards for all the positions of the civil service of Ukraine; development of standards for higher education within the specialty “281. Public management and administration” based on the professional standards and in accordance with the National Qualifications Framework; clarify and legislatively establish a coherent set of competences to be held by higher education recipients (master, bachelor, junior bachelor) and civil servants in positions of categories “A” and “B” (the degree of higher education not lower than the master’s degree), category “C” (the degree of higher education is not lower than bachelor, junior bachelor).

Romania's accession to the EU depended largely on the ability of Romanian public authorities to implement reforms among public organizations in the country. Globally, however, a successful public administration has become a key factor in determining a nation's competitive advantage. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the efforts of the Romanian public administration to submit to the process of administrative reform and as a consequence to contribute to the creation of an administrative reform strategy based on which Romanian public organizations can be reformed.

In this paper, we focus on the positioning of the ethical theory of accountability and the relevance of the new public management in the integration of the ethical dimension in the management of public organizations and non-profit organizations. The objective is to show how the NPM and the theory of accountability incorporate the ethical dimension, and to what extent these two theories consider ethics in the construction process of public action, the sense and nonsense in public management and its relationship with the position of ethics in the management of public organizations. This will be done through a case study on the ethical dimension in the management of public finances in Morocco, proposing recommendations to make accountability in public finances more transparent and ethical.
