DOI:
10.7256/2306-9945.2013.1.405

Abstract: This article deals with complex organizational and legal issues in relation to the prosecutorial supervision of the formation and organization of specialized anti-corruption agencies - commissions on compliance with the official conduct of government (municipal) employees and the resolution of conflicts of interest in government (municipal) service encountered by government agencies and/or local government authorities. The article distinguishes and justifies two main areas of prosecutorial supervision: supervision of the legality of these commissions, and supervision of the legality and validity of their recommendations and binding decisions. As a result of this comparative legal study, the author establishes, formulates, and proposes a checklist of issues to be used in the implementation of prosecutorial control over federal and/or regional Russian legislation in relation to government and/or municipal service, as well as laws on combating corruption in public authorities and/or local government bodies.
Channov S.E. - Organization of activities of the commissions on compliance with the requirements to service behavior and conflict of interests regulation in public service. pp. 1-13

DOI:
10.7256/2306-9945.2013.5.797

Abstract: The article concerns organization and functioning of the commissions on compliance with the requirements to service behavior and conflict of interests regulation in public service. The author notes that the new Provisions on Commissions basically prohibited to include into them representatives of "other organizations", as it was previously provided. On one hand, this is a positive change, since it allows to deal with the loophole, which existed earlier.  In practice many state bodies used the term "other organizations" in order to invite as "independent experts" public officials from other state bodies to their commissions, which basically was a distortion of the idea of control of civil society over the procedure of rgulation of conflict of intersts, however, was in compliance with the letter of the law.  On the other hand, it excluded the possibility to include representatives of organizations other than scientific and educational organizations (such as political parties, various associations and foundations, etc.) into the work of the commissions on compliance with the requirements to service behavior and conflict of interests regulation in public service.  In the opinion of the author the weakest place of the Provisions is that the decisions of commission are not binding. In his opinon within the framework of hte program against corruption in public service, the legislators should amend these Provisions and provide for the collegiate decision on the presence or absence of conflict of interests. The issue should find similar resolution in respect to ther types of state and municipal service.

Korniichuk O.O. - The need for the official informing about the distribution of budget provisions in the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for welfare payments to the penal system officers and their families pp. 1-8

DOI:
10.7256/2306-9945.2016.4.18909

Abstract: The research subject covers the problems of budgetary funds using in the Federal Penitentiary Service. The author notes that, despite the declared success of the reforms in the sphere of social support of the penal system officers and their families, the existing economic and political problems (the economic crisis caused by the sanctions after the 2014 events in Ukraine, the reduction of budget provisions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the stay of legal norms which used to provide for the increase of substantive pays of the penal system officers adjusted for inflation and others) lead to the distrust of the personnel in the senior staff, legal nihilism, the outflow of the personnel from the penal system and the weakening of its professional core. In the author’s opinion, one of the reasons for corruption crimes in the penal system is the social despondency of the penal system officers and their dissatisfaction with their material standing. Corruption destabilizes the normal functioning of the penitentiary system, undermines the citizens’ trust in law enforcement agencies, and, therefore, should be considered on the federal level. The urgency of this study is conditioned by the fact that at present, in order to maintain the penal system officers’ and their families’ trust in law and the state, and the effectiveness of the social support and implementation of their rights, acquired in accordance with the current legislation, establishing the officially recognized status of this category of citizen, the work of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the management of different levels should be transparent. The informing about the distribution of budget provisions within the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for welfare payments to the penal system officers and their families should be carried out both in the form of reports on the official websites of institutions, agencies and organizations of the penal system, and on the official website of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation. The research methodology is based on the latest achievements in epistemology. The author applies general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling), traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal logical) and the methods of specific sociological research (statistical, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that at present, in order to optimize budget expenses in the penal system, it is necessary to improve forms and methods of their application monitoring. The author asserts that it is necessary to develop legal regulation of financial control within the penal system. The author proposes the ways to develop forms and methods of budget monitoring in the penal system.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the relationship between the rights and obligations of participants in foreign economic activity and customs authorities, namely, the implementation of the principle of "mirror reflection" in the complex formation of rights and obligations. The purpose of the study is to search for gaps in customs legislation that do not directly link the rights and obligations of customs subjects, as well as to develop recommendations for its amendment. The methodological basis of the study was a comparative analysis of the rights and obligations of customs authorities and their officials with the rights and obligations of participants in foreign economic activity, in particular, declarants, persons subject to customs inspection, and other participants. The novelty of the research lies in the formation and justification of the principle of "mirror reflection" when introducing the rights and obligations of the main counterparties in customs. The study revealed a discrepancy between the rights and obligations of the parties, both in the context of the relations "customs authorities – participants in foreign economic activity", and when comparing the rights and obligations of each of the parties. It was also shown that they are not presented systematically and in full in regulatory legal acts, and their implementation is hindered by the lack of an effective mechanism. The results of the study can be used by the legislative power of the country to amend customs legislation and customs authorities to regulate relations with participants in foreign economic activity. The article develops recommendations for improving the legal basis of relations for customs entities, in particular, it is proposed to bring the rights and obligations of the parties into full compliance, as well as to justify the mechanism of their action within each right and obligation.

The research is based on the method of questionnaire survey. The author uses stratified quota sample of 274 respondents with confidence interval of 5.55% and confidence probability of 95%. The author concludes that the key motive, which determined public servants’ readiness to pursue working in executive authorities in 2016, was stability of employment, and after restructuring – material motives. Besides, the key factor, defining the appeal of public service as a place of employment, is career expectations and stability of employment. During restructuring, the motivation had decreased. As the key demotivators, respondents mention low incomes and increased intensity of work. The author also notes high correlation between work satisfaction and public service period. Financial gain, social status and psychological climate are also significant factors of motivation. It means that under the conditions of frustration, public servants seek for other incentives to pursue working for public service.

Kostennikov M.V., Kurakin A.V., Vatel' A.Y. - Anti-corruption and ethical standards for the service behavior of public civil servants. pp. 15-39

DOI:
10.7256/2306-9945.2014.4.12248

Abstract: The article concerns legal and organizational problems regarding implementation of anti-corruption standards of service behavior of public civil servants. It is noted that the relevant standards form a constituent part of their administrative legal status. It is also noted that with the help of various administrative legal means the state forms the environment, which shall not be succeptible to various corruption offences. The problem of corruption in various spheres of activities of state government bodies and administration is currently a global and systemic one. Corruption poses an immediate threat to the national security, stands in the way of development of democratic and civil society institutions in Russia, implementation of the constitutional rights of people in the spheres of education, health, social aid, proprietary relations. The methoological basis for the scientific article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.).  Additionally, corruption casts a negative influence upon the development of economics, financial system and the entire infrastructure of the Russian state. It should be noted that corruption in the activities of state government and administration bodies  facilitates development of organized crime, forming the basis for the development of extremism and terrorism centers, threatening implementation of the national projects, undermining the ongoing public legal reforms in Russia. All of these problems and a number of others objectively call for formation of the administrative legal mechanism against corruption in various spheres of activities of public servants, as well as for the formation of the institution of administrative justice.

Chzhan K. - The practice of motivating employees with wages in the Public sector of the People's Republic of China pp. 44-49

DOI:
10.7256/2306-9945.2022.1.33142

Abstract: The article discusses the practice of motivating employees of the Chinese public sector through wages. The author notes that, in general, the system of "salary" motivation of employees in the public sector is characterized by a rather low role of the basic salary and seniority allowances. The main earnings of employees are provided by the official salary, the coefficients of collective and personal efficiency at work that increase the amount of earnings, allowances and surcharges directly related to the effectiveness of staff work, their professional development and career growth. At the same time, mechanisms are actively used to avoid an excessive gap in the income level of senior employees and the bulk of the staff.   The difference in the salary level is strictly limited, the level of remuneration is tied to the formalized requirements imposed on each specific employee. The article notes that the equalizing principles of remuneration accrual are closely and quite harmoniously combined with purely market ones. The latter makes it possible to motivate employees to highly productive work, improve their qualifications, receive education, participate in the rationalization of production, and at the same time makes it possible to minimize conflicts between senior employees and the bulk of the staff, as well as to avoid the occurrence of such a destructive factor as awareness by the bulk of employees of the injustice of the payroll system.

EDN: SDWHWS

Abstract: The implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Plan for 2021-2024 revealed the need for a scientific analysis of the problems of legal regulation of the regulation of anti-corruption components of the legal status (status) of municipal employees. The subject of the study are normative and methodological sources that consolidate the rights, duties and prohibitions related to municipal service, as well as mechanisms for their implementation.

Special attention is paid to some legal positions of the supreme courts (the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation) and courts of general jurisdiction related to the peculiarities of the legal status of employees. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that it is a comprehensive study of the problems of legal regulation of anti-corruption components of the legal status (status) of municipal employees. The main conclusions of the study are the identified gaps and conflicts in the regulation of the issues under consideration. In addition, an assessment is given of the formed judicial practice in cases on the statements of prosecutors about the appeal to the income of the Russian Federation of property in respect of which evidence of its acquisition for legitimate income is not provided. Among the most significant results are the formulated proposals for improving the current federal legislation on combating corruption in the municipal service system.
