Conceptual principles of personnel management in the civil service

The article analyzes the organizational and legal principles of staffing the civil service. It is established that the civil service is a public, professional, politically impartial activity in the practical implementation of the tasks and functions of the state. It is emphasized that in Ukraine the civil service has become a fundamental element of the functioning and existence of the state. The professional and responsible activities of persons holding positions in state bodies, institutions and organizations are of extremely great importance. The changes taking place in the country, as well as the foreign political and economic situation, require reform and modernization of state authorities and management, as well as increased requirements for managerial personnel. The formation of a highly qualified corps of professionals in state bodies is one of the priority areas of modern personnel policy. It has been found that personnel policy is a general direction of personnel activity, which includes a system of principles, methods, forms and organizational mechanisms aimed at achieving goals and objectives related to the creation, preservation and development of the state. Such a direction is of strategic importance for the country, as it contributes to the creation of a professional staff capable of operating effectively in conditions of economic, legal and political instability. The issues of professionalism and competence of civil servants are critically important for ensuring the effectiveness of state policy. One of the main tasks of government bodies is the training of highly qualified personnel, whose activities should be aimed at the further development of Ukraine. Personnel policy is a powerful tool for reforming state and local self-government, as well as public administration in general. In turn, personnel management is the basis for the effective work of public authorities. It is a key element of the country’s socio-economic development, since the activation and professionalism of managerial personnel in the state power system, as well as the effective use of human resources, have a positive impact on the development of social and economic spheres.
