Benevolence in the functioning system of united territorial communities: communication and management elements

The subject of the study is ensuring integrity in the system of functioning of united territorial communities. The purpose of the article is to study the degree of compliance with integrity in the system of administrative and communicative functioning of the OTG in wartime conditions. Research methods. In order to solve the research tasks, methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization were used, which made it possible to ensure the conceptual unity of the research. Work results. The article examines the ability of local self-government bodies to adhere to the principles of integrity in their work in all its manifestations, both at the managerial and communicative levels, taking into account the peculiarities of wartime. They tried to consider integrity in the activities of the OTG in the context of avoiding double standards, resisting corruption, maximally assisting people in receiving services, developinga mechanism of stability in overcoming crisis phenomena, ensuring a people-centered way of communication and maximum informational openness about management activities and financial expenses. Conclusions. Virtue as a basic principle of the operation of the OTG in war conditions works quite positivelyin the system of regulating numerous crises related to migration and evacuation processes, in relation to internally displaced persons, etc. There are many problems with compliance with the principles of integrity in the field of "open communities" formation, which is connected with honest interaction with donors and humanitarian missions; compliance with norms of decency in the system of using financial resources also requires attention. Norms of integrity are the basis of the new model of governance, therefore the leadership of the OTG in wartime conditions should apply the recommendations of the "new governance", which includes: predictableand joint governance to solve extremely difficult situations; application of the mechanisms of a transparent and responsible attitude to the implementation of strategic planning for reconstruction and development in the postwar period; ensuring the participation of active citizens in the redistribution of state resources at the local level; application of "new ways of thinking in the context of policy formation, which include an orientation towards flexibility rather than stability, towards networks rather than hierarchies, towards partnerships rather than client services in relations between citizens and the state" [1]
