RETRACTED ARTICLE: Structural strength of loess in mountainous areas and optimization of rural public management services based on 5G Internet of Things

This article introduces the current status of cellular IoT technology and demonstrates the evolution from C-IoT to the fifth-generation mobile communication system, including key technologies such as network function virtualization, software-defined networking, and mobile edge computing and big data. A detailed analysis of key technologies and solutions shows that 5G C-IoT can effectively expand the business functions of C-IoT. As we all know, loess is widely distributed in Northwest China. Due to the large-scale development of the western region and the development of the “One Belt, One Road” project, the special structure and degradability of loess has more and more significant impacts on the project, which is essential for maintaining structural strength in all directions. The opposite sex is essential. Research shows that with the development of rural revitalization strategies, the demand for public products and services in rural areas will also increase. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the level of rural public administration. On this basis, this article analyzes the current situation of public products and services of rural public organizations in China. The rural government is currently city-oriented, but the grassroots government lacks long-term planning, the management scope of rural autonomous organizations is narrow, and the governance capabilities in rural areas and terrain insufficient. This article provides appropriate optimization suggestions and finds effective methods to improve the level of rural public management. When building a new situation, problems such as low public administration efficiency, lack of management talents, and imperfect management systems have become obstacles to the construction of a new rural economy. Therefore, this article puts forward suggestions on the current dilemma of public management in China’s new agricultural construction to ensure the development of new rural economic construction.

Blockchain Impact on the Efficiency of Public Administration in the Sphere of State and Municipal Services

State and local governments have stepped up research on innovative approaches to the provision of basic public services. The purpose of this study is to determine the blockchain impact on the efficiency of public administration in the sphere of state (municipal) services.The study illustrates the advantages and problems of blockchain on the example of its application and implementation in government bodies at various levels with an analysis of international experience. According to international experience, new technologies can improve the efficiency of service delivery, therefore, this study appeals to the importance of supportive policies for improving the results of using blockchain in the sphere of public administration of state (municipal) services.In the end, the authors determined that the introduction of blockchain in the sector of state (municipal) services, on the one hand, has several advantages (cost reduction, immutability (minimization of the risk of losing documents), elimination of intermediaries (network decentralization), distribution of information storage (lack of a single center vulnerability), openness of transactions and demonstration of innovative potential), on the other hand, several problems (the problem of trust and security, invasion of privacy and violation of constitutional rights, inequality in access to technology, changing legislation in accordance with new technologies, slow and costly implementation process).

LABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRICULTURE

The essence of labor productivity is substantiated in the article. It is determined that it is the production of a certain amount of products (or work performed of the established quality) per unit of working time. Labor productivity is one of the main indicators that determines the development of the industry, enterprise. The analysis of agricultural products showed that in general there is a positive trend, in particular crop production. Livestock production is characterized by a decrease. Enterprises produce the most agricultural products - 66% (11.6% of farms), respectively households – 34%. Analysis of the dynamics of labor productivity per employee in agriculture of Ukraine showed positive results. The growth rate in the industry over the past 5 years is 48.81%, including in crop production - 44.61%, in animal husbandry - 61.78%. However, the achieved level does not meet modern requirements. Factors of labor productivity growth are singled out: organizational-economic, technical-economic, socio-economic, natural-climatic. Correlation-regression analysis was used to study the influence of individual factors on labor productivity. It is established that the following have the greatest direct impact: the average engine power of the tractor, the cost of fixed assets, the average monthly salary. The following have the opposite effect: population, number of employees in the agriculture. A positive financial result in agriculture does not increase labor productivity. Investments, wage growth in the agricultural sector, predictability of state regulatory policy, improved land relations, mechanisms of state support for farmers and improving the efficiency of public administration will help increase labor productivity in agriculture. Keywords: labor productivity, agriculture, wages, production volume, investments.

Public administration in the education system: Theoretical and methodological approaches and practical recommendations

The analysis of the prospects for improving the efficiency of public administration in education is conducted in the article. First of all, the concept of “public administration” was analyzed, its differences and similarities with the concept of public governance were determined. It was decided to determine the perspective of the study of public administration processes by the educational process, taking into account its orientation to public needs and a human-centered approach. The concept of public administration is theoretically designated as a set of processes for managing public systems in order to ensure the goals of sustainable development through the implementation of the functions of organization, execution, order and control. These functions are schematically presented and described in the article. To continue the analysis, trends in the development of the education system in Ukraine and abroad were identified. The problematic aspects have been analysed and prospects for their correction have been identified. Having analyzed, it was determined that the basic processes that require improvement in the public administration system in education are organizational, financial, reputation, and digitalization processes. An algorithm was developed to increase the implementation of the processes of public administration of educational processes, taking into account the basic requirements of society for the education system

Отдельные направления повышения эффективности государственного управления в условиях цифровизации

Building upon the practices of the Treasury of Russia as well as other federal executive agencies, this article presents a new approach aimed at improving the efficiency of public administration through the centralization of general management functions within a given body. The set of general functions across public authorities is largely generic, suggesting that the stage involving the optimization of said functions can be regarded as a preliminary one preceding a full-fledged digital transformation of public administration. Functions associated with budget accounting and budget report formation, material and technical support, and personnel, legal and administrative activities dominate in the structure of both federal and local authorities’ general management functions. At the same time, individual government bodies at both the federal and regional levels are all, to some extent, engaged in the optimization of general functions implementation costs through assigning appropriate powers to subordinate agencies. Exemplified by the Treasury of Russia and other public administration bodies, the article systemizes and analyzes the existing approaches within the subject matter. As a result of the analysis, it is deemed advisable to synchronize the activities of public authorities, in particular through coordinating the process at the level of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Current state of the regional labor market and employment in the Orеl region

The article addresses the problem of regionalization of state policy in the field of employment and employment. The author links the process of formation and use of labour resources in a particular region with territorial differences in natural conditions and resources, demographic processes and economic potential. Today, the situation in the Russian labor market is characterized by a decrease in the number of employed people, an increase in unemployment, and an increase in the length of the period of unemployment. Employment has a system of indicators reflecting: the completeness of the inclusion of an active part of the population in public production; the level of balance between jobs and labour resources; If employment is consistent with the socio-economic needs of the population, the full and effective employment of specialists, especially young ones, in the labor market is of great importance for the further development of the country. In this regard, employment problems have worsened in almost all regions of Russia. As a result of the analysis of the current state of the labor market and employment of the population of the Orel region, the main priorities of the policy were identified: the promotion of employment of youth, people with disabilities, as well as the development of employment in rural areas. It is argued that in the labor market, despite the measures taken by State bodies, there is a significant gap between the number of registered unemployed citizens and the number of unemployed citizens, the territorial discrepancy between the supply and demand of labor, the imbalance in quantity and professional composition, and the low salary characteristics of the proposed jobs remain. The state policy on promoting employment at present should ensure the coordinated functioning of the labor market, regulation of the formation and movement of investments throughout Russia, the use of corporate and private capital, taking into account the provision of employment at a level sufficient to maintain the reproduction of the population within the framework guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation. Possible ways to improve the efficiency of public administration of employment and employment of the population in the Orel region, increasing social security and competitiveness in the labor market of weakly protected categories of citizens, are justified.

RETRACTED: Prerequisites for implementation of the public administration reform strategy in Ukrainian civil service

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the needs of scientific analysis of the process of reforming public administration in modern Ukraine to identify ways and opportunities for further improvement of public administration. The purpose of the study is to analyze the innovations of civil service in Ukraine, which are aimed at improving the performance and ensuring the quality of civil service. The research methodology includes a set of general scientific and special political science methods. The results of this paper demonstrate that Ukraine has moved quite a distance from the Soviet legacy as far as civil service is concerned. Nevertheless, the country still has a lot to be done: these achievements must be supported by steady efforts so as to make them irreversible and to significantly increase the efficiency of public administration. The practical importance is determined by the need to formulate priority ways of raising the country's economic competitiveness and promoting social welfare.

Measuring Outcomes of Digital Transformation in Public Administration: Literature Review and Possible Steps Forward

Abstract Digital transformation is the modern mainstream of social and economic development promising significant digital dividends to citizens and businesses worldwide. The theory highlights the importance of digitalization for optimizing the public value of government services for citizens; however, despite the high enthusiasm about the prospects of digital transformation in public administration, there is little literature on measuring actual benefits this process might provide to all stakeholders concerned. While some recent research suggests high correlation between governance indicators and e-government development, the causality between the two is not confirmed statistically for most public administration indicators. International indices used to measure government digitalization (such as the UN E-Government Development Index) often concentrate only on e-services and are based on measuring the availability rather than the actual use or quality of such modes of service delivery; they concentrate more on measuring G2C and, to some extent, G2B interactions and often omit the effects of digitalization for the G2G and G2E dimensions. The EU Digital economy and society index (DESI) is one of the most advanced cases for measuring the progress of digitalization in the EU, but even in this case the costs of digitalization and potential risks of digital government are not fully accounted for. The paper provides an extensive review of theoretical and practical approaches to measuring government digitalization, identifies key limitations and proposes some steps for enhancing the existing practices. The paper argues that government digital transformation should not be performed for its own sake but should be a means for raising effectiveness and efficiency of public administration. Therefore, both benefits and risks of digital transformation of performing all core government functions for various stakeholders (citizens, businesses, government itself, and public officials) should be accounted for.

Role of External Public Audit in Ensuring the Financial Stability of the Budgets of Developing Countries

The system of external state audit reveals the potential for structural changes in terms of making effective management decisions that ensure the rational consumption of investment and other resources, taking into account the organizational and economic level of development. Based on the experience of foreign countries, it should be noted that in developed countries audit is the leading form of independent control. The purpose of this article is to determine the role of external public audit in ensuring the financial stability of the budgets of developing countries. To assess the financial stability of budgets, traditional methodological approaches, i.e. the analysis of absolute indicators and analysis of relative coefficients are used. In the study, financial stability was examined in the context of the possibility of evaluating the state audit of the budgets of developing countries for all expenses of the republican budget without raising the level of public debt. As a result of consideration of the budgets of developing countries, the problems were identified and the directions for their solution were proposed. In addition, tools which allow not only assess the financial stability of the budget, but also determine recommendations for managerial impacts aimed at strengthening the state budget are proposed. Thus, conducting a state audit in order to increase financial stability will lead to an increase in the efficiency of public administration and to a greater alignment of mechanisms for implementing state programs and projects with strategic planning mechanisms.

Analytical Capabilities of the Concept of "Competitiveness" in the Study of Public Administration Efficiency

The article analyzes various approaches to understanding the effectiveness of public administration, which are in foreign and Ukrainian scientific thought. The purpose of the article is to show that administrative efficiency is a component of the general social efficiency of public administration, so it can be studied with the help of analytical tools of competitiveness. The study found that administrative efficiency is often understood as the effectiveness of the organization and functioning of public administration. Administrative efficiency is also understood as the efficiency of management bodies and officials. The authors emphasize that the principles, criteria and factors of the study of effectiveness are very vague. This affects the objectivity of the reflection of the qualitative result of the activities of the public administration body. The scientific novelty of the study is that the authors offer new tools for the study of administrative efficiency. It competitiveness of the state. “Competitiveness” in the context of studying the effectiveness and efficiency of public administration, the subjects of public administration is not considered deeply in the Ukrainian science of public administration. Moreover, in Ukraine, the effectiveness of public administration is increasingly associated with the competencies of civil servants. The authors do not agree with this position and suggest a deeper analysis, firstly, the relationship between public administration efficiency and the country’s competitiveness and, secondly, a deeper study of the analytical capabilities of the theoretical and methodological construct “competitiveness”. Conclusions. As a result, the authors argue that the task of administrative efficiency as an indicator is to reflect an understanding of the activities of institutions, which depends on the efficiency and behavior of both public and private actors, a legal and administrative basis within which individuals, firms and governments interact. and it determines the quality of public institutions. Keywords: country competitiveness, efficiency, public administration, administration, state policy, concept.

Modern Approaches to Evaluating the Effectiveness of Public Administration Decisions

The relevance of the study is that effective public administration constitutes one of the most important factors in the progressive development of the modern state. An important condition for the productive functioning of public authorities is public administration, which acts as a holistic scientific system of organisation of activities. Assessing the effectiveness of public administration decisions is necessary for both public authorities and society. It helps civil servants to control and improve the management process, and helps the society to assess the quality of public institutions. The lack of objective generally accepted indicators for assessing socio-economic processes, the work of bodies and institutions is one of the main problems that hinder the efficiency of the state mechanism. At present, there are no well-established approaches to assessing the effectiveness of public administration decisions. The solution to this problem is a more detailed study of scientific knowledge regarding the system and mechanisms of evaluation. The purpose of the study is to analyse the main modern approaches and mechanisms for evaluating the effectiveness of public administration decisions. The concept of performance evaluation as a complex process is currently the most prevalent and used by modern scientists. Ensuring efficiency is a difficult task for public administration. The diversity of the system requires the use of rational approaches and the creation of differentiated evaluation criteria. The components of the evaluation system in the context of globalisation affect the effectiveness and efficiency and require continuous improvement. The use of special tools and technologies provide flexibility of government decisions and internal integrity, leading to rapid change in the state. mainstreaming of the efficiency improvement and quality of evaluation of public administration decisions directly affects the socio-economic development of the state and improvement of the welfare of the population. The use of evaluation results allows to identify existing problems in a timely manner, to find ways to solve them, improving management by improving the efficiency of public administration at all stages. The practical significance lies in the use of research results in the activities of individual public administration bodies, which will allow to modernise the effectiveness of evaluation of public administration decisions and the management system in general

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATIONAL TRENDS OF WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

At the current stage of Ukrainian state integration into European community, country leaders face new challenges that require improving efficiency of public management and public administration based on democracy and human-centeredness. Urgency of public leadership development in Ukraine is closely related to the foreign countries’ experience study on the mechanisms of formation and development of public leadership, characterized by a high level of moral values, responsibility, communication, modesty. The new management paradigm, being introduced in public administration and public management in Ukraine, also requires introduction of new qualities in public leadership, manifested through establishment of moral values in the leader’s personality, leader’s behavior in public service reform. According to the author, such qualities of leadership as delegation of powers in public authorities, intersectoral cooperation in public administration determine development of leadership in the context of educational trends in foreign countries. The author believes that today an important aspect in the development of public leadership is the mobilization aspect of the efforts of all leaders and subordinates of public authorities and leaders of civil society institutions to overcome crises and do complex reforms in public administration. Such crises include ensuring stability in global fight against the GOVID-19 pandemic. However, problem of public leadership development in this aspect has not been properly reflected in modern scientific sources. The article reveals priority models of public leadership of Western European countries as a prerequisite for formation of successful personality, successful leadership qualities, the trend of which is such an important factor as publicity, because before the 90s of the twentieth century not all government officials in European countries were public.

Оценка качества государственного управления в России и других крупных экономиках мира

The article presents a comparative analysis of governance quality in Russia and other countries in the top ten leaders in terms of GDP level (based on purchasing power parity). Based on the synthesis of international approaches, the author suggests three critical dimensions to measuring governance quality: justified and impartial state interference, effectiveness, and efficiency. The analysis is based on the data of international organizations. The article suggests that, among other countries, Russia is not leading in any of governance quality indicators. Noteworthy, while Russia’s positions are comparable with those of other large countries in human development index, adjusted net savings, and the ease of doing business, the country is lagging behind most of the top ten world economies both in terms of citizen satisfaction with education and primary health services and in terms of the level of citizen protection from government-controlled risks. In the area of corruption, the gap is even more significant. Overall, the results of the comparative analysis suggest the need to undertake a system of measures aiming at improving justice, effectiveness, and efficiency of public administration in Russia based on developing and implementing a comprehensive governance quality enhancement strategy. This would allow transforming public administration into a factor supporting rather than constraining social and economic development and improving quality of life in Russia.
