Problems of Reforming the Law Enforcement System of the State: An Innovative Method of Motivation of Staff

Author(s): Vyacheslav Slivenko,О. Slivenko / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2015

Today the process of democratic transformations in this country is associated with the solution of complex political, economic, social and legal issues, one of which is the government's reorganization and optimization of the structure of its institutions. Given the socio-political and criminal situation in the country, current law enforcement bodies do not meet the requirements of the time. The process of reform of the judicial system started in 2014 in accordance with social requirements and capacities of the state. International experts noted that Ukraine as a member–state of the Council of Europe must improve its laws in accordance with European standards and apply innovative approaches during the period of problem solving. Thus it is necessary to analyze the peculiarities of the reform of the law enforcement bodies in Ukraine.The purpose of this study is to analyse the peculiarities of creation of efficient system of motivation of employees during structural transformations of the state personnel. The set scientific tasks were performed using a complex of general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, statistical and comparative.The peculiarities of the process of restructuring of the law enforcement system were analyzed. The ways to create an efficient system of motivation of employees during the structural transformation were explored. We found the most important areas of improvement in the process of encouraging social subjects to the activities with strategic objectives in fighting crime, providing social security in the material and spiritual spheres of life of the society. The paper considers ways to create opportunities of implementation of individual abilities of employees that require a thorough study of the individual abilities and needs of each individual person to revitalize his/her activities to achieve the goals of the organization. We studied such ways of stimulating employees of law-enforcement sphere as participation in development and decision–making, implementation of the contest–based vacancy occupation, demilitarisation of special ranks, democratization of personnel policy, development of professional mobility of the civil servants.It was determined that the next stage of the reform will be creation of local police departments, which will also be arranged with regard to innovative principles of employee motivation: meeting the needs of self–expression and development; independent and transparent competitive mechanism to fill vacant posts (including top management) and the development of professional mobility.Scientific novelty of this work consists in the study of peculiarities of creation of innovative motivation of law enforcement employees in the period of radical reform of the society. Planned reforms were developed taking into consideration international, including European, standards of police activities.The practical significance of obtained results is a comprehensive study of the mechanism of gradual reformatting of state law enforcement institutions and provision of specific recommendations for improvement of the new structure that renders services of protection of public order.Further research in this direction might be focused on finding innovative ways to solve the problems of the reform of the law enforcement system of this country.

The Schools and the Firms. A Comparative Analysis and the Interaction of the Two Institutions

Author(s): István Magyari-Beck,Olga Szűcs / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2005

The main problem of this paper to be solved is to outline one of the main cultural institutions - namely schools - in terms of firms. In order to achieve this goal, the basic characteristics of firms had to be established, also analysing the most important problems related to them. The paper claims that, in fact, all firms overlap and thus depend on each other, which inevitably limits their competition to a certain degree. This is especially true for cultural institutions in the process of producing human capital. The authors propose to use rather strategic coordination instead of internalisation in the process of treating externalities.

Перспективи формування інноваційно-інтегрованих структур в економіці регіону

Author(s): Oksana Storozhuk,Oleksii Zaiarniuk / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1 (34)/2018

The paper presents the results of research of regions companies’ integration preconditions in the regional agroindustrial cluster. It is shown that regional cluster act as a key tool for the development of regional economies. SWOT analysis was carried out and revealed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to create regional agroindustrial cluster. Results of the SWOT-analysis have allowed defining strategic directions of clusterization of the rural area providing progress of territory through cooperation, integration on the basis of the scientifically-methodical approach. There are some weaknesses of creation of innovation-integrated structures. First of all are deficit of financial resources and high cost of credits. Other weakness is lack of cooperative ties between enterprises, higher education, public organizations. Participants of a regional agro-industrial cluster are justified. Prerequisites necessary to ensure the sustainable functioning of innovative integrated structures of the agroindustrial complex of Kirovograd region were discovered and investigated: innovative development of the agroindustrial sector, modernization of fixed capital, introduction of energy-saving equipment and technology, activation of intellectual resources, optimal combinations of market mechanisms and state regulation of the economy. The proposed method involves the use of available data for analysis, and takes into account the most important factors of the preconditions of clusterization. Therefore, it is universal for using. The practical application of this technique will allow a reasonable preliminary selection of regions in which the most favorable prerequisites for the formation of clusters are available. The regional innovation policy will play a main role in the process of creation and development of cluster. Prospects for further research will consist in the study of successful foreign experience in the formation of regional innovation policy for the creation and development of cluster.

The nature of administrative personnel’s work and a role of work rationing in economic activity of the enterprise are covered. The main problems in the field of work rationing of administrative personnel at the industrial enterprises and the reasons, which cause them are designated. Factors and extent of influence on work rationing of administrative personnel of the industrial enterprises of the Southern region are investigated. Elements of control system of work rationing at the industrial enterprises are considered. Requirements for improvement of work rationing system of administrative personnel at the industrial enterprises are formulated. Methods and ways of setting standards of work in the sphere of research and development of the scientific organizations are investigated.It is established that the standardization of research work should not be limited only to the norms of labor input, especially in the normalization of applied research work of theoretical nature, where evaluating the labor input objectively can be quite difficult. Research work should be evaluated according to its results, norms of the number of results of labor and norms of quality of results of labor should be present in the structure of norms. It is proposed that within the framework of the applied research work of theoretical nature, the symbiosis of the expert method, which proved its potency in the analysis of complex non-formalized problems and the statistical method, that is, on the basis of the accounting of similar experience in conducting kinds of works / obtaining the results of work in previous scientific research projects of scientific organization has been used. The conclusion is drawn that the costs of rationing should be comparable to the results of normalization, and the accuracy of the development and set standards of work should be ensured with the minimum possible costs for this process.

Own sources are not enough, and borrowed and borrowed are the task of investment development of the agrarian sector. The main areas of investment of agricultural institutions are: land and infrastructure. Financial instruments include: bank lending, investments,agrarian receipts, commodity loans, bill financing.The main causes of the weakness of the mechanism of state support to agrarian enterprises are the imperfection of the mechanisms for obtaining and distributing budget funds and violation of budgetary discipline during their use. Changing the mechanism of allocation of funds from the state budget, cumbersome, belated approval and constant change during the year cause untimely receipt of state financial support, ineffective use and return at the end of the year to the state budget.The macroeconomic factors that caused the depressive nature of the development of agrarian enterprises are: reduction of their own investment sources of producers due to increased price disparities and depreciation of investment resources under inflation, reduction of state investment support, not compensated by their own and attracted sources of investment financing; the deterioration of access to credit, the growth of non-payment, the breach of economic ties, the deterioration of material and technical supply, etc. A significant source is the attracted funds from the state, as well as non-state institutions, in addition to foreign investments.

Author(s): Liudmila Zapirchenko,Tatiyana Ryabovolik / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 1 (34)/2018

The article focuses on the specificity of the formation and advantages of the development of innovative processes in the agrarian enterprises. These agrarian enterprises account for almost one third of gross domestic product now. But at the same time, agro-industrial production in Ukraine is lagging behind the European Union for productivity and efficiency.In the paper the attention to the specificity of the forming and advantages of the development of innovative processes at the enterprises of the agrarian sphere is focused. At current stage the almost one third of gross domestic product are created by the agrarian enterprises. The search for such innovative solutions becomes extremely urgent, which would ensure the increasing of the efficiency of the functioning of the agrarian sphere, the rational using of natural resources and the increasing of the productivity of plant growing and animal husbandry in the conditions of limited natural resources. At present time, the constant implementation of the latest developments is the key of the sustainable development of agriculture. The expediency and necessity of introduction and realization of the advanced innovative and technological processes for the development of agro-industrial production and the obtaining of economic and social effect are determined. As a result of generalization of information on the essence and role of agro-innovations, the peculiarities of their implementation in the agrarian sector, the main directions of using the innovative technologies and factors that hinder their implementation are revealed. On the basis of the research of a set of indicators and factors it was found out, that the agricultural enterprises at a low rate make the transfer of innovation to their daily work, which naturally leads to the decreasing the quality of work. This is due to the low level of forming the huge agrarian enterprises and weak integration of farms. As a consequence, there is the inefficiency of using the modern expensive technologies and technical means of production. The using of innovations and technical and technological developments in the agrarian sector will allow increasing the competitive advantages, improving the efficiency of production and economic activity in general, because the agrarian sector in economically developed countries is gradually transforming to the science-intensive industry of production. On the basis of the research, it was found that effectuation of a more extensive policy of implementation and realization of innovations will provide the increasing of the efficiency of the functioning of the agrarian sphere, as well as will promote the rational using of natural resources and the increasing of the productivity of plant growing and animal husbandry in the conditions of limited natural resources.

Еколого економічні наслідки пожеж у природних екосистемах

Author(s): Viktoria Chuban,Yurii Horbachenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2 (35)/2019

The article is aimed at determining main aspects of the effect the fires in natural eco-systems produce on the economics of Ukraine as a whole. Main tasks are to analyze fire hazard, to determine degree of damage and theorize possible ways of cleaning up the situation at the state level.The methods of evaluation of losses from environmental disasters differ greatly from the methods of evaluation of losses from manmade disasters. First of all, it is connected with significant differences in types and scope of consequences. Every third fire in Ukraine is the one in natural ecosystem, i.e., in general, it is more than 27,000 fires a year at the area of 25,000 ha. Expenditures from the State Budget of Ukraine are analyzed and it is determined that the level of financing of bodies and units of State service of Emergency Situations in Ukraine is not sufficient because the efficiency of emergency response is determined by the level of response readiness of material and technical basis of bodies and units of State Service of Emergency Situations in Ukraine.Due to inadequate level of financing, the necessary level of protection of the population and territories from emergency situations, including fires in ecosystems, will not be achieved. Thus, the main problem was and still is a lack of financing from the state budget to buy fire-fighting equipment and means of fire-fighting. The task of implementation of an ecosystem approach to managerial activity and adapting Ukrainian legislation in the field of environmental protection to the requirements of EU directives is crucial by the year 2020. Implementation of modern integrated systems of early detection of fires, increase of readiness of fire-fighting forces, modernization of technical means of fire extinguishing and conducting of fire propaganda using modern information technologies should be the priority directions of further development of ecosystem protection in Ukraine, as well as in other countries of the world.Fires in natural ecosystems lead to significant economic losses and negative environmental consequences and are a dangerous phenomenon in the environment, which, in its turn, leads to destabilization of sustainable development. The solution of the problem of ensuring an adequate level of protection in natural ecosystems from fires and their negative consequences is the complex phased solution of problem issues of proper financing of fire and rescue units, including additional financing from the local budget.

Оплата праці в системі чинників активізації інноваційної діяльності

Author(s): Nataliia Shalimova,Оlena Magopets / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2 (35)/2019

The purpose of this publication is to investigate the current state of remuneration and to evaluate the degree of its relationship with the results of innovation activities and to determine on this basis the priority areas for improving the organization of remuneration aimed at enhancing innovation.It is substantiated that the development of innovative activity in Ukraine is complicated by the imbalance between the declared state goals and the real actions for their realization, which hinders the transition of Ukraine from the outdated traditional model of economy to the new - innovative. The inconsistent innovation policy of Ukraine has caused: technological backwardness of Ukraine from the leading countries of the world, structural imbalance of the economy and leveling of the role of the innovation factor in the economic growth of the country.Human capital is a decisive factor in the development of innovative activity in Ukraine, as the human capital potential, as confirmed by international ratings, is high. Human capital is a catalyst for the implementation of innovations, but the effectiveness of its use in Ukraine is low. The problem is the lack of interest of the employed population in the work of innovative content due to the low remuneration of such work, the use of imperfect and ineffective tools for its motivation and stimulation. It is established that in the Ukrainian economy there is no close correlation between the amount of wages and indicators of innovation activity. It has been proved that in the industries where the largest number of innovative enterprises is concentrated, the wage level does not significantly exceed its national average. In industries where a small number of innovative enterprises operate, there is both a significant excess of the average wage and a rather low level of wages. The results of the cluster analysis of the regions of Ukraine by the level of wages and the level of innovative development indicate the inconsistency of the studied indicators in most regions, which allows concluding that the incentive effect of remuneration on the development of innovation activity is not adequate.In order to stimulate the employed population to innovation activity, it is proposed to improve approaches to the organization of remuneration of innovative labor, which are based on determination of the personal professional rating of the employee and adjustment of the tariff system of remuneration in terms of the extension of tariff rates within one qualification category to ensure maximum consideration of individual characteristics of a particular employee and the results of his work.

Author(s): Vitaliy Pysmennyi / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2 (35)/2019

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to introduce a subsystem of own taxation in the countryside and to characterize taxes and fees, which should become an additional source of revenue of rural budgets.The criteria that are consistent with the specifics of introducing own taxes and fees by the authorities in the countryside have been developed. In particular, they relate to a unique tax base, taxation of objects tied to a certain area, ensuring a small difference in the tax burden within different territories, avoiding high costs for tax administration. The order of calculation and the mechanism of the fee payment for collection of biological resources of a forest fund, fees for the extraction of minerals for own use, fees for occupying the territory of the settlement, fees for the use of local symbols for commercial purposes, taxes on trade outside markets, fees for the placement of external advertising, fees for the arrangement of territories have been characterized. Their role in shaping the revenue base of rural budgets has been determined, which should be related to the ability of the government authorities in the village to solve vital tasks on their own and envisages the ability to provide with the necessary revenues without the involvement of external sources. The emphasis has been made on the fact that the subsystem of own taxation should open up opportunities for combining different forms and methods of taxation depending on the principles of fiscal adequacy, economic efficiency, social justice, administrative simplicity, stability, tax flexibility and others, which are acceptable to local governments.It has been established that own taxes and fees should become an additional source of revenue of rural budgets, evolving from the system of local taxation. The peculiarity of their implementation is connected with the expansion of the right of the tax initiative, in which the authorities in the countryside will be able to independently introduce taxes and fees, to determine their elements of taxation, taking into account natural and climatic, geographical, social and demographic, economic and other factors.
