Employees and their knowledge are one of the most important resources of any enterprise. Material reward system often does not bring the assumed benefits. In public administration, it is trying to develop effective methods of rewarding employees that would not involve the entity’s financial resources and at the same time improve work efficiency. In this situation, it may be appropriate to introduce solutions used in agile organizations. The non-material reward system in the agile model allows for creating agility features in employees. The article includes an analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the subject and the author’s own research, carried out in two public administration units. In the context of the research gap, the author tried to answer the following research question: Can public administration units, like agile organizations, introduce actions aimed at creating agility characteristics in employees and thus achieve better results? The main goal of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between the introduction of intangible reward systems and the creation of agility in public administration employees. For the purposes of the study, the author formulated a research hypothesis assuming that non-material methods of reward contribute to creating agility features in employees.

Public-private partnership (PPP) in the conditions of the set strategic tasks by the President of the Russian Federation until 2030 can become one of the sources of attracting financial resources for implementation of the large-scale projects. In this regard, it is relevant to systematize the forms of PPPs and the scope of their application. Based on a study of different views on the essence of PPP, as well as taking into account the development of public administration in Russia, the author proposed the use of public-public-private partnership as a form of development of cooperation between the state, private business and society. The polyformism of PPPs is reflected in the presented classification. Based on the analysis of PPP development in the regional context, hypothesis on the correlation between the level of PPP and the socio-economic development of the subject of the Russian Federation was confirmed.

The author of the article has provided the results of the analysis of the methods of administrative and legal protection taking into account the changes within the relations between public administration and taxpayers and the course chosen by the state for liberalization of tax relations. The place of the concept of the methods of administrative and legal protection in the term system of the science of administrative law and their dialectical relations with the methods of public administration and administrative activity has been established. The author has indicated generic and specific features of the methods of administrative and legal protection of tax relations, where the latter will depend on the peculiarities of the means and methods of influence used by the public administration for the purpose of exercising security functions. The system of methods of administrative and legal protection of tax relations has been offered to form from three elements: general methods of administrative activity (persuasion and coercion), service tools of influence (provision of administrative services, creation of electronic services and publication of open data sets) and organizational methods. The expediency of distinguishing service means of influence into a separate group of methods of administrative and legal protection has been proved. It is conditioned by their special functional purpose – creation of conditions for independent prevention of possible breach of protected relations by the taxpayer. The role and correlation of persuasion and coercion in the system of methods of administrative and legal protection of tax relations have been clarified. Despite the presented importance of the persuasion within the relationship between the controlling agencies and the taxpayers, it has been stated that state coercion remains the main mean of administrative and legal protection of tax relations. Particular attention has been paid on the need to reconsider the correlation of tax and administrative coercion within tax relations. It has been proved that the basis of their delimitation should be not the branch of legislation, where the authority to apply the appropriate measure is assigned, but the essential criterion and the subject matter of regulation (influence) – relations arising from incomplete calculation and late and incomplete payment of taxes and fees, or relationships related to the organization and enforcement of tax responsibilities and the proper exercise by the supervisory authorities of their powers. It has been emphasized that tax coercion, unlike administrative, performs both punitive and compensatory functions.

This article analyzes the relationship between basic skills and textbooks in the subject Christianity, religions, worldviews and ethics. Two research questions are discussed and answered: How can the basic skills be understood within the subject? And how do selected textbooks facilitate for working with the basic skills? The first question seeks to define and operationalize the basic skills within the context of the subject. This is done on the basis of official documents and current research, but also on an understanding of the subject which emphasizes both knowledge and formation. The answer to the first research question is used as an analytical resource for the discussion of the next question. The material being analyzed is three textbooks. With respect to knowledge, the article shows that textbooks manage to integrate the basic skills. However, the books could have paid more attention to some of the aspects of the skills which are specific for the subject. When it comes to aspects of formation and education the basic skills are mainly resources for ethical and philosophical topics, primarily to develop tolerance and respect within the pupils.Nøkkelord: lærebøker, religiøs utdanning i grunnskolen og videregående skole, grunnleggende ferdigheter, kunnskap, formasjon

Purpose The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that administrative law appears as one of the significant factors influencing the development of both the public administration system as a whole and the processes of its reform that the Russian Federation has faced today. The authors show that if the relations of state administration are the subject of the administrative law’s influence (after all, it is they who are influenced by administrative and legal norms), then we are faced with an extremely important question regarding the character and specificity of the relationship between administrative and legal relations and relations of state management, on the one hand, and analysis of the concept of administrative and legal regulation of public administration relations on the other. This goal is important, given that the authors substantiate the relationship between administrative law and public administration through identifying the possibilities of regulatory influence on the part of administrative law on public administration relations. Design/methodology/approach Prospects for the further development of the study are the formation of an understanding that government is not limited to administrative law, but it cannot be denied that the regulatory impact of law in public administration is decisive, and therefore public administration is largely a state-legal category, although it is not limited to this. Findings So, having analyzed the above approaches and positions of scientists regarding the subject of administrative law, the authors believe that it can include any managerial activity of the state authority and local government bodies that does not directly concern the subject matter of another branch of law; is realized with the help of the executive-administrative mechanism (in this case the author does not consider the executive-administrative mechanism as an exclusive prerogative or a unique feature of the executive authorities, although, of course, he agrees that it is the most typical and characteristic feature for them); is realized within the framework of a certain state authority, local government or non-governmental organization (in case of delegating state powers to it) to ensure its proper functioning (internal management relations); is implemented outside the framework of a certain state authority, local government or non-governmental organization (in case of delegating state powers to it) and is directed to other (external) with respect to the relevant body or organization of entities (external organizational management relations); and is largely characterized by relative constancy and immediacy of implementation relative to the management object. Originality/value Prospects for the further development of the study are the formation of an understanding that government is not limited to administrative law, but it cannot be denied that the regulatory impact of law in public administration is decisive, and therefore public administration is largely a state-legal category, although it is not limited to this. At the same time, indistinctness and uncertainty about different ways of understanding public administration often generate negative effects both at the general scientific level and at a purely practical level (when it comes to the exercise of administrative powers by certain state authorities).

Public policies as a means by which public action is directed and common goals are achieved have long been the subject of study of foreign legal science. In Serbia, public policies have gained more significant affirmation in recent years, especially in the context of public administration and public administration reform. Public policies are studied from the aspect of different sciences, political, organizational, but having in mind that public policies are especially related to the activities of the administration, it is the subject of interest of legal sciences, more precisely the science of administration. The state ensures the implementation of public policies in various areas of social life (health, education, environmental protection, etc.), bearing in mind that it has the necessary capacities and organization, through its administrative apparatus. The aim of this paper is a deeper understanding of the policy-making process, their role in achieving the public interest, the process of implementation and evaluation of public policy effects, as well as the relationship and relations that public policies have with government and public administration, both from the perspective of policy makers and and from the aspect of directing the work of public administration.

PurposeDigitalization is becoming the subject of considerable interest in the literature. This is in view of its relevance in addressing social problems and contributing to the development of communities and societies. In the agri-food-industry, digitalization is also expected to contribute significantly to solve several challenges the sector is facing at this moment, such as the increasing food demand and resource use. However, the effects of advanced technologies are less a function of the technologies themselves than of how they are used by people. The study analyses the dominant challenges faced by firms in the agri-food industry in the usage and adoption of digital technology. Also, they show how these challenges impact on the sustainable development of digital technology for firms in the industry and provide avenues for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose a structured literature review aiming to investigate the following research question: what are the main challenges faced by firms within the agri-food industry in the adoption of smart technologies?FindingsResults illustrate the dominant challenges faced by firms in the agri-food industry in the usage and adoption of digital technology. Also, they show how these challenges impact on the sustainable development of digital technology for firms in the industry and provide avenues for future research.Originality/valueSo far, in the context of digitalization in the agri-food industry, various researchers have analysed different kinds of challenges to the adoption of smart technologies. This work reviews these contributions to create a clear reference framework of the challenges faced by agri-food firms while providing future avenues of research and implications at a policymaking, economic-managerial and socio-environmental level.
