Reasons and Conditions for Disciplinary Offenses in the Civil Service System

The article analyzes the causes and conditions for disciplinary offenses in the public service system using the example of the Russian Federation. The authors conclude that, despite some similarities between the causes and conditions, they cannot be identified, since the conditions themselves, without the presence of reasons, cannot give rise to a consequence - a disciplinary offense of the employee. The criterion for distinguishing between causes and conditions is the subjective nature of the reasons for the commission of disciplinary offenses and the objective nature of the conditions conducive to their fulfillment. The identification of differences between the causes and conditions for the commission of disciplinary offenses and their systematization makes it possible to use various means to neutralize and eliminate them. Based on the research, in order to increase the effectiveness of disciplinary responsibility, the article proposes: 1) to provide psychological selection using a methodology for identifying professional and personal qualities in relation to applicants; 2) in the process of carrying out public service activities - to prevent the deformation of the personality of a public servant; 3) to ensure the creation of objective conditions determining the lawful behavior of public servants.
