State regulation of human resources development and public sector employees qualification improvement in Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract

The article provides findings of the research into tendencies of human resources system development in the public financial sector of Eastern and Central European countries. Analysis of means and methods of the implementation of the public administration development strategy suggests that the issue lacks systematic approach and public financial sector employee training, as well as public financial sector employees’ experience, is not properly oriented to achievement of the goals of the public financial sector reform. The strategy envisages rationalization of the structure of state government bodies and modernizing their organizational structure. It also aims to analyze the potential for improving the system of public financial sector institutions and rationalizing function and task division between public and private sectors. Furthermore, it proposes to improve methodology of public financial sector strategic planning and regulation of public financial sector employees, and to streamline decision-making procedures in all public financial institutions. In order to tackle successfully all the problematic issues the article proposes to employ a methodologically grounded model of human resources system that would stipulate monitoring of the human resources state, revealing problems in relation to system improvement and setting goals and priorities of the development strategy. The article argues that the proposed model can be successfully used in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe due to the fact that it creates the necessary preconditions for state service efficiency increase and successful implementation of the public financial sector reform.
