PECULIARITIES OF FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PERSONNEL POLICY IN LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT BODIES

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of the formation and implementation of personnel policy in local self-government bodies. It was found out that the organization of human resources is called to implement the policy of acquisition of new competencies by the personnel, which should be met by the modern employee of the public sector in relation to the strategic priorities of the reform of public administration in Ukraine. Ways of staffing are considered, in accordance with the goals and tasks of local self-government bodies. It is emphasized that the Law of Ukraine "On Service in Local Self-Government Bodies" distinguishes between two forms of public service – municipal and state. It is argued that the norms of this Law encourage the implementation of complex actions of the functioning of the municipal service on a stable organizational and legal basis. The task of personnel support and the development of a new personnel policy in local self-government bodies in the conditions of national statehood is singled out. The problem of "aging" of personnel in local self-government bodies has been confirmed. It was noted that the lack of procedures for attracting young people to work in municipal authorities calls for the development of a new system of personnel formation in this area. It is shown that the stability of the personnel composition of local selfgovernment bodies in combination with its purposeful renewal is one of the priority areas of personnel formation. The sequence of preserving and enriching the personnel potential of local self-government bodies is considered. The directions of personnel policy formation in the local self-government bodies of Ukraine have been substantiated. The mandatory formation of personnel in the local self-government bodies on the basis of compliance with legality, competence, professionalism and justice has been proven. It is concluded that the effectiveness of personnel management in local self-government bodies is determined primarily by the results of their implementation of a number of financial and economic, legal, organizational and other measures. At the same time, attention is focused on the fact that one of the main roles in the process of improving the efficiency of personnel management is played by the professionalism and competence of personnel.
