Improving the efficiency of public service is an important area for overcoming the crisis in relations between the state, society and a citizen. Modernization of civil service of Canada is carried out in a number of ways. Changes were made in a recruitment order for civil service by means of expansion of the powers of persons competent to solve these issues in ministries and government departments. One of the directions for improving the quality of the civil service was an increase in the level of training of public servants. Coordination of the educational process in various government departments is carried out by the Canadian School of Public Service. The system of human resources planning has been introduced. The quality of public services provided is improved with help of timely providing them in compliance with all requirements of a particular government department, and taking into account the rights of citizens by achieving a balance between the services provided and the money spent for this purpose and regular monitoring and evaluation of the dynamics of the providing process of services. One of the areas of modernization of the public service is the introduction of strict control over of public servants’ ethical standards. Actions that lead to a conflict of interest are legislatively prohibited. Strict bans in Canada are implied regarding the employment of persons who replace public office after the end of their career. As a result of the measures taken to fight corruption, including a sphere that is largely susceptible to corruption risks, Canada is among top ten countries with the least corruption. Achievement of positive results in the activities of civil servants became possible due to the state’s special attention to the issues of its modernization.

The Relationship

Knowledge sharing has been acknowledged as the right mechanism for public servants to share best practices in performing work among workers. The sharing of best practices on learning by actions (doing) seems to enhance motivation among public servants to provide quality services. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between knowledge sharing and public service motivation among civil servants in the Department of Student Affairs, UiTM Merlimau and Public Works Department (JKR), Jasin, Malaysia. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed but only 118 questionnaires were validly returned and used. The findings demonstrate that the level of knowledge sharing practices in both organisations is at moderate level. Pearson correlation analysis shows that policy making, commitment to public interests, social justice, civic duty, compassion and self-sacrifice have significant relationships with knowledge sharing practices. Meanwhile, multiple regression analysis reveals that only commitment to public interests, social justice as well as civic duty significantly influence the practices of knowledge sharing. The findings conclude that knowledge sharing is key element used by civil servants in producing public service motivation.

Low Efficiency

A negative trend in power and public relations in Russiain the last year was the decline in public confidence in the authorities. One of the possible reasons for this is the dissatisfaction of citizens with the professional activities of civil servants, the distance of this institution from society. The public service is the main institution for the implementation of the functions of the state. Therefore, one of the important organizational tasks of public administration should be to ensure transparency and social acceptability of the activities of civil servants. Such a tool by its very nature is public control, but the Russian Federationhas not yet developed its legal framework and mechanisms, which determines the low efficiency of this institution of interaction between government and society. Despite a number of regulations adopted recently and aimed at increasing the transparency of public authorities, the desire of state bodies to conceal information from citizens remains. On the basis of the analysis of the forms of public control fixed in normative acts the reasons of its insufficient efficiency are revealed in the article. The authors put forward a number of proposals aimed at the development of the system of public control and designed to contribute, ultimately, to increase the legitimacy of the government as a whole, which is an urgent problem for Russia.

(1) Background: Public servants are regarded as guardians of the public interest, and their pandemic response played a vital role in controlling the spread of the epidemic. However, there is limited knowledge of the factors that influence public servants’ response (PSR) when facing pandemic prevention and control tasks. (2) Methods: Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), models were constructed and a regression method was employed with Chinese civil servant data to investigate how PSR is influenced by public service motivation (PSM), accountability pressure (AP), and emergency response capacity (ERC). (3) Results and discussion: PSM, AP, and ERC all have a positive effect on PSR, with AP having the greatest influence, followed by PSM and ERC. The effects of PSM, AP, and ERC on PSR have group heterogeneity, which had little effect on civil servants with very low levels of PSR and the greatest impact on civil servants with medium-level PSR. Job categories of civil servants also are a factor related to PSR; PSM and AP have the strongest effects on civil servants in professional technology, and ERC has the greatest influence on administrative law enforcement. Moreover, gender, administrative level, and leadership positions also have an impact on PSR. (4) Conclusions: Based on the factors of PSR, we found at least three important aspects that governments need to consider in encouraging PSR when facing a pandemic.

General Perspective

Abstract The achievement of the public interest by the state implies the enduing with public prerogatives of certain persons, who, in the exercise of the public function and by fulfilling the conditions provided by law, acquire the quality of civil servants. The regulation of the public office in Romania offers both a general perspective, through the Statute of the Civil Servants, which since the adoption of the Administrative Code in 2019 is an integral part of it, and a particular perspective, embodied by the special statutes of certain professional categories that exercise the public office in a specific regime, derogating from the general rules. Law no. 80/1995 regulates the Statute of Military Personnel and, through the conditions of exercising the stipulated duties and rights, confers a special indisputable status to military personnel. However, the provisions of the same law do not establish the quality of civil servants of the military, this quality being established by juridical interpretation.
