STRUCTURE OF MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: SATISFACTION AND METHODICAL APPROACH TO ITS FORMATION

Abstract

In scientific studies devoted to the structure of the mechanisms of public administration, different views on this issue are proposed, but their systematization is not available. An urgent need is to develop a systematic understanding of the structure of public administration mechanisms. The deterioration of economic dynamics and the emergence of crisis phenomena in the socio-economic sphere causes the urgent need to create conditions for adequate changes aimed at increasing the role and formation of managerial behavior of local authorities in ensuring the balance of the socio-economic environment of the territories, increasing their influence and level of responsibility for the processes of its development. The question of the structure of public administration mechanisms is highlighted in the works of domestic scientists and specialists. Structural-elemental and functional approaches are predominantly used, and in some works a structural-functional approach. However, despite new work in recent years, there remain issues that require further research. First of all, it concerns the systematization of ideas about the structure mechanisms of  administration and development of methodical principles of its formation and concretization. Modern management scientific literature has documented the existence of a deep and unprecedented crisis in the field of governance in Ukraine. In particular, it is emphasized that "the main culprit for a deep socio-economic decline would be to consider the crisis not the economy itself, but the system of public administration, which is the consequence of disadvantages in all spheres of life of the country."

It is grounded that public administration is a part of social management, that is, management of people and their teams. In a more general sense, public administration is the management of civil service personnel, as well as public spheres (economy, legal process, social security, culture), social groups, organizations and institutions.
