Summary/Abstract: Dynamism requiring permanent changes and innovations is one of the typical features of contemporary society. However, the introduction of the changes and innovations has to be proceeded by a critical reflection and the evaluation of previous experience, mechanisms and established models of behaviour. The approach is similar in both public administration and other areas of human activities.The processes in centralized democracies when public administration is brought on a higher and more contemporary level by means of fundamental structural reforms is a good opportunity for critical analysis of the civil servants readiness to accept increased requirements for their professionality and its permanent improvement. Education as a life long process of permanent acquisition of knowledge, obtaining and processing information, perfection of skills and abilities, cultivation of personal traits of any employee is one of the ways how to contribute to the more professional status of this social subsystem.
