Abstract

The scope of the research is the assessment of labor potential of the municipal civil service of Saratov region. This researchs methodology combines three methods for different purposes: cost method, quantitative method and the qualitative research.The results showed that the application of the program-target approach provides foundations of formation of the state and municipal initiatives for the education of the municipal civil servants and enhances the comprehensive development of the labor potential of municipal civil service. The approach will stimulate systematic and on-going evolution of labor potential of municipal civil service based on assessing its current state and level of development. The authors conclude that the lack of state and municipal initiatives for vocational training of municipal civil servants (especially retraining and further education programs for them), does not allow for the comprehensive education of municipal civil servants, which may lead to decrease their effectiveness in the future.
