Efficiency of labour duties performance by civil servants: world experience and prospects in Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the operation of the control mechanism that regulates the alignment of expenditure and income among civil servants and evaluate the effectiveness of their responsibilities. The study utilizes a blend of theoretical and empirical approaches. Theoretical methods encompass various approaches such as analysis, synthesis, concretization, generalization, the method of analogy and modelling. Empirical methods encompass the scrutiny of civil service practices in Ukraine and other nations, an assessment of legal and scientific literature pertaining to the topic and the production of scientific research and findings. The study uncovers inherent deficiencies in anti-corruption mechanisms pertaining to the civil service and the execution of civil servants’ responsibilities, both domestically in Ukraine and on a global scale. It focuses on analysing the functioning and efficacy of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and the authorized units tasked with the prevention and detection of corruption. The authors assert that Ukraine needs a streamlined system to electronically declare the direct expenses of civil servants. The importance of these findings lies in their capacity to guide future revisions to Ukraine’s current legislation regulating civil service operations. The study establishes a basis for suggesting modifications that can improve the efficiency and efficacy of civil service in the context of anti-corruption efforts.
