Classification of the civil servants

N	The basis for the classification	The main groups of civil servants
	Branches of the State	The civil servants for legislative, executive, judicial powers
	Level of the State power	The civil servants for the federal, regional, district, and local organs
	Civil service categories	(1) substitutes for category A (category B) (2) career servants (category C)
	Categories of posts	The civil servants of higher (5^th), principal (4^th), chief (3^the), senior (2^nd) and junior (1^st)
	Hierarchy of ranks	The civil servants of: (1) full state advisors; (2) State advisors; (3) advisors of the RF; (4) advisors of the State civil service; (5) experts in the civil service.

 

The fourth principle for the division indicates the stage of the civil servant's career. The posts are junior, senior, chief, principal, and higher. A junior post can be attained without working experience. Ap­pointment of individuals to posts at the senior level is possible for career officials without experience of civil service if they have accu­mulated significant experience in the service of other employers in their own fields. The three top classes require experience both in the Individual's own field and of civil service. Promotion is made only af­ter experience has been gained and not less frequently than at three Ю five-year intervals.

The fifth principle for appointment to posts is connected to the t It to of the incumbent and these are conferred on five levels. The system has certain connection to the system of ranks introduced in 1722 by Peter I. The disadvantage of the system is co-ordination problems in the function of administration, venal characters, inability to change, and difficulty in making development reach the entire administration.

Институт современной государственной службы в Вели­кобритании сложился в 1970-е гг. В этот период в стране были проведены крупные административные реформы. Ко­митет возглавил Фултон. Он представил правительству док­лад, в котором содержалось 158 рекомендаций. Все они были приняты правительством. Фултон предложил новую модель государственной службы – менеджеральную.

Первым этапом реформы стала отмена системы классов. Вместо этого были созданы три основные группы чиновни­ков. К первой группе относятся старшие политические и ад­министративные руководители. Вторая группа называется административная, а третья группа объединяет научно-профессиональных работников и технических специалистов.

Менеджеральная модель государственной службы пред­полагает вовлеченность административного аппарата в про­цесс выработки и принятия политических решений. В соот­ветствии с рекомендациями Фултона в министерствах по­явились отделы по планированию политики.
