For this purpose, the study used annual time series data and employed an ARDL F-bounds test approach to achieve the determined objectives. The findings of the ARDL model reported that corruption, circular debt, and population have a positive impact, while industrial GDP and distribution and transmission contribute negatively to short- and long-term energy crises. Consequently, this study helps policy makers to focus on the issue of corruption and circular debt in the energy sector of Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67921384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The leading research method was a questionnaire survey of employees of guardianship and guardianship bodies (N=694). On a number of issues, the ratings obtained were compared with the opinions of graduates of boarding schools (N=3868). The research results illustrate the dysfunctions of the social security of orphans, the risks of housing deprivation at the “breaking point” of social support when leaving the orphanage and before receiving their own housing. The presence of these break points is typical for many regions of the Russian Federation and is due not only to insufficient financial resources, but to bureaucratic costs that limit the implementation of flexible models of provision of housing for orphans. The largest variation range between the assessments of guardianship officials and orphans is characteristic of such support measures as the provision of temporary housing and consulting assistance in its selection (in the first group of respondents, the share of positive assessments is 1.7 times higher). Insufficient staffing of guardianship and guardianship bodies, the maximum level of workload for each employee are an additional factor limiting the possibility of providing the necessary social support to orphans. In addition, the study identified individual cases of “reverse” social dysfunctions associated with dishonest behavior, and falsification of the status of an orphan.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135909714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, even in the current period, when the ideology of New Public Management is dead for most experts, the European Union, international organizations and think tanks are trying to measure and compare the performance of public administration systems of countries. This paper summarizes the main initiatives of the European Union in this field and tries in its main part to review the situation of the new European Union member states from Central and Eastern Europe. Qualitative secondary analysis of data and simple statistics are the main methods of this paper, which is an original contribution to its general topic. The findings show that the main tools used by the European Union to measure and manage the performance of public administration in the member and candidate countries are the European Semester, the recent EUPACK project, the standards developed by SIGMA OECD for the candidate countries and various statistical surveys. The data obtained show that the performance of public administrations in the new EU Member States from the CEE region varies widely, with most of them being “followers”. The reasons for such large differences in performance should be the subject of further research.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135845654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These reforms highlighted a delicate balance between continuity and change so gradual, incessant, and autonomous adaptation to China’s socioeconomic development as well as to its external environment could happen. Since China moved into the “deep-water zone” in the recent decade, does this reform strategy remain effective? This article examines the Chinese way of introducing public administration reforms, with a focus on the reforms in the past decade. Although incremental reform has in general been kept useful, changing internal and external conditions in China have made it more difficult to achieve innovations and systematic transformation through incremental reforms. An apparent approach to politicization has replaced the fragile politics-administration dichotomy and reshaped the way of value balancing in China’s administrative system.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135845658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Criteria assessed included performance orientation, transparency and accountability, innovation and creativity, and responsiveness. This research is empirical in nature and utilizes exploration and description to serve the theoretical background. A gap exists between the archival measure used by the government to assess and award excellence, and the perceptual measures reflected in citizens’ responses regarding how worthy the institution researched deserves the excellence award granted by the government. The findings of this paper suggest that NPM application in the Egyptian context does not show improvements in public service delivery and that receiving the Government Excellence Award has minimal impact on citizen perception of the institution receiving the award.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135845854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores one of the Israel Employment Service programs for 2016-2019, based on 56,000 job seekers and 82 job seeker profiles. The main findings of the study are: (1) there is no difference between good placement of job seekers from the Arab sector (49%) compared to job seekers from the other population groups (51%); (2) the longer a job seeker remains in the program, the lower is the probability of their returning to the labor market. Moreover, the increased number of activities the job seekers are engaged in can negatively affect their chances of finding a job; (3) socioeconomic factors such as education, disability, religion, and number of children affect job placement.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67919706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
