Summary In this paper, the author deals with the civil service rather than the public service. The two terms are not mutually exclusive, nor is the difference between them always clear. But a distinction can and should be made from the standpoint of employer-employee relations.

Public service accounts for a substantial share of a country’s economic activity. It is designed as an agent of fruitful change and development in the state. The transformation of any society or system depends on the effectiveness and efficiency of its civil service. The article examines the nature of professionalization and innovation in Nigerian public service. It argues that professionalization in the public service is an overarching value that determines how its activities will be carried out. The article note that various attempts have been made in Nigeria to professionalised and encourage innovation in the public service, but these have not bring about the expected changes in the public service. It therefore advocates for professionalization and innovations as panacea to the ills of public service in Nigeria. The article concludes that no public service can meet the challenges of the twenty first century without a stronger commitment to the professionalization of its workforce.

The article analyzes the approaches to the civil service organization in Ukraine and examines the regulations of the civil service establishment since independence time. The attention is payed to the regulatory uncertainty of the separation of civil and public service in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the legal basis of the civil service in Ukraine is determined by the Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service”, which was adopted in 2015. The first such laws were adopted in 1993 and 2011. The Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” of 1993 for the first time established a special legal status of civil servants – persons authorized to perform state functions. The Civil Service recognized the professional activity of persons holding positions in state bodies and their staff for the practical performance of tasks and functions of the state, receiving salaries at the expense of state funds. The Main Department of the Civil Service under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was designated as the civil service government body in the state bodies. At that time, the procedure for serving in local self-government bodies was not legally regulated in Ukraine, which hampered the establishment of the public service institution in Ukraine. With the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, there was a division of public service into civil service and service in local self-governments. The Laws of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine” and “On Service in Local Self-Government Bodies” became an additional basis for distinguishing types of public service. In 2011, a new Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” was adopted, which provided for changes in the legal regulation of the civil service in Ukraine. Civil service was recognized as a professional activity of civil servants in preparing proposals for the civil policy formation, ensuring its implementation and provision of administrative services, ie the categories of political positions and positions of civil servants were distinguished. The current legislation defines the role of the civil service and its features, as well as the conditions of service in local governments, which is actually the basis for the public service system formation in Ukraine. Key words: civil service, public service, service in local self-government bodies.

Abstract Recently, there have been various conflicts with regard to extravagant or flashy body styling of applicants for police career, like conspicuous tattoos and piercings. The essay discusses the general requirements, which bear uponapplicants in the interest of public image cultivation, separation ofpowers in the light of basic rules. As Article 33 (5) of the Basic Law obligates the state to organize the public service according to traditional principles of German civil service, constitutional law offers a basis to justify interferences in private life, as far as the duties inherent in the servise as police officers require neutrality.

The relevance of the article is that in the conditions of constant changes and development of legislation the issue of analysis of new legislation on the conceptual apparatus, features and characteristics of new state institutions, civil service in general and service in the national police in particular is quite relevant. The purpose of the article is to establish the peculiarities of the interpretation of the concept of civil service and service in the police, as well as to present the features of such service. The study analyzes the scientific achievements, which includes the definition of the concepts, features and content of civil service and police service. There is an interpretation of the concept of «service» in the scientific literature and encyclopedic or dictionary publications, it is argued that due to the diversity of the interpretation in the literature there are many examples of interpretation of this definition. The opinions of M. Bilynska, O. Yevmeshkina, I. Surai on the definition of the term «service» and its inherent features are noted, the position on these issues is also highlighted by M. Tsurkan. The article analyzes the concepts of «civil service», proposed by V. Malinovsky, N. Sidorenko, A. Britko, Y. Bytyak, S. Dubenko, Y. Obolensky, M. Inshin, T. Pakhomova, V. Averyanov, L. Stelmashchuk. The erroneous identification of the civil service with the public service is pointed out, as there are so-called political positions that do not belong to the civil service, but are an element of the public service. Emphasis is placed on the features of the civil service (activities to perform the tasks and functions of the state; activities are professional, public, politically neutral and carried out at the expense of the state budget). It is emphasized that the concept of «civil service» is also interpreted in a narrow and broad sense. The study reveals whether police service belongs to the general system of civil service, as well as signs of service in law enforcement (a specific type of human activity, which is implemented in the interests of society; the state determines the boundaries, forms and methods of this activity such a service is a professional activity, etc.). These are laws that define the definition of civil service and police service («On Civil Service» and «On the National Police»).

Introduction. With the implementation of public sector reforms in Ukraine, issues of increasing public confidence in the civil service as a whole and its representatives - civil servants - in particular, are updated. Ethical education measures for both existing and future civil servants (which over time must be filled by the ranks of state bodies - students and cadets of specialized universities) are highlighted. From the very beginning, future civil servants have the need to form and maintain a positive image of the representatives of the state apparatus, using the best examples of service to the people and the state, patriotic, highly professional and conscientious civil service. In Ukraine, as in all EU countries, the assessment of the effectiveness of public authorities is directly linked to the level of trust in relations between society and government, in the formation of which the image of public servants formed in the public consciousness is of paramount importance. In turn, personal experience of interacting with specific officials is often equated with the image of the public service as a whole. Thus, the image of a particular civil servant depends largely on the image of the entire public service. Purpose. This scientific article focuses on the problem of forming the image of the modern Ukrainian civil servant as one of the indicators of the effectiveness of the civil service as a whole. Results. It is established that the positive image of a civil servant in Ukraine is not so much in an unstable position as it is in general unformed. Even the creation of new government bodies and the practice of recruiting individuals after numerous competitions and inspections have failed to create a positive image of these bodies and their employees in the population. Conclusion. To create and maintain a positive image of a civil servant, it is advisable to use the following measures: setting up public relations, increasing the openness of civil servants; cooperation with non-governmental organizations, public institutions; control over the performance of their duties by the state enhancement of ethical education of civil servants, starting with high school; rigorous selection for the civil service, taking into account the competence, communication skills and external qualities of the future civil servant; providing services to coaches specializing in management, etc.
