IN-SERVICE TRAINING FOR CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE CONTEXT OF ENSURING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE (ARCHETYPAL APPROACH)

Abstract

The problem of low level of functional competence of civil servants caused by the declarative character of the use of strategic, competence and individual- centered approaches in their professional and personal development is actualized. The aspects of organization of the professional development of civil servants taking into account socio-cultural and psychological-mental characteristics on the basis of results of the implementation of multi-phase program “Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness” as well as scientific research of the representatives of the Ukrainian School of Archetype are explored. It is substantiated that the main attributes of leadership in modern societies (charisma, participativity, and team orientation) necessitate the combination of individually-centered and system-oriented approaches in in-service training through the introduction of organizational learning and activity-based learning in public authorities, and the use of innovative democratic technologies for personnel development, including coaching, to ensure the effectiveness of their functioning.

The questions of civil servants’ personal qualities assessment and formation of individual professional development strategies as well as individual programs of professional competence development based on its results are considered. It is argued that the modern system of in-service training for civil servants should ensure the formation of a competitive human capital as an intensive factor of the sustainable development of the state, based on the combination of the principles of human-centeredness and pragmatism. The essence of human capital at the individual, organizational and national levels is determined as the value which is accumulated in the result of investing (in a rational approach) and capable of self-growth. The prospect of further scientific developments is the study of the problems of ensuring the effectiveness of the professional in-service program implementation for public servants at the request of authorities, taking into account the aspects which are considered in the article.
