Kazimierz Doktór Peculiarities of personnel Management in Public Administration
This article concentrates on the differences in the management of human resources in public administration as compared with well-known commercial organizations. Specialists in administration science concern themselves with such questions as the status of clerk, recruitment, and training on a rather marginal basis. However, a new look at developing principles of professionalization, formalization, and centralization within the framework of personnel strategy is necessary. The result of reform of the public administration system should be the modernization of the personnel status and function in Poland's central and local government administration.
Małgorzata Bednarczyk The Road to Entrepreneurship in Public Administration in Poland
The necessity for change in the management of the public sector is obvious and irrefutable. W. Kieżun criticized the current state of public administration in Poland very strongly finding it brimming in "gigantomania" ( excessive development of organizational structures), "luxury-mania" (the creation of a super luxurious environment for working in administration), corruption ("Poland in one of the most corrupt countries west of the Bug river"), and arrogance of authorities (excessive manifestations of "dignitarianism," impeding access to information, and disregard for the public order). The article discusses new concepts in public management.
Jolanta Szaban - Can Polish Administration Be "Intelligent"?
This paper deals with the idea and practice of an "intelligent" administration. There are several differences between the "intelligent enterprises" (industrial enterprises and those dealing with services) and public administration. What they have in common, is the necessity of using modern technologies (HT, IT) in their everyday activities and of employing people with specific skills and knowledge levels (intelligent employees). For Poland to achieve an administration which can be perceived as an "intelligent" one, a number of conditions should be fulfilled, including some external and internal expectations to be met, first of all those that are expected by society and, last but not least, by the European Union. The most important of these are described in the article.
Zdzisław Sirojć The Impact of the Process of Integration with the EU and HRM in State Administration
The activities of state administration, especially of the civil service, has a significant impact on the functioning of the state and the proper satisfaction of the needs of citizens, especially people of politics and business, which fosters political and economic integration processes. At the same time, European integration is an influence working to improve the functioning of Polish administration, both central and local government, especially its elite segment-the civil service. The objective of this publication is to point out these interdependencies.
