MILITARY PERSONNEL POLICY AS THE BASIS FOR FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL MECHANISM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE MILITARY SPHERE

Abstract

The paper explores military personnel policy as the basis for formation and
implementation of the organizational mechanism of public administration in the military sphere. In
particular, the key specific features of military personnel policy are highlighted; the functions of military
personnel policy and their features are defined; the requirements for formation and implementation of the
organizational mechanism of public administration in the military sphere based on military personnel
policy are substantiated. It is shown that military personnel policy is the foundation of public administration
in the military sphere. It defines the principles and mechanisms of human resources management to
ensure the defense capability of the state, staff the security and defense sector with motivated specialists,
and transition military formations to NATO standards. It is emphasized that the problem of the functional
characteristics of the reform of military personnel policy in Ukraine, as well as the mechanisms for its
implementation, has acquired special theoretical and practical significance in connection with the
implementation of a deep reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The content of functions is determined
by objective laws and by the tasks facing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the specifics of military service,
the features of military management bodies, as well as the powers of military officials. It is noted that all
functions of military personnel policy are interconnected and mutually dependent, therefore only in their
dialectical unity it is possible to understand the entire complex mechanism that has a decisive influence
on the development of military personnel potential. It is noted that the role of military personnel policy
functions in its development is that they transform theoretical tasks of public administration into practical
actions, adapting the defense sector to the requirements of the time. The functions of military personnel
policy are not static: under the influence of combat experience, technology and Euro-Atlantic integration
of Ukraine, they evolve, which ensures the development of the entire personnel system. The article
explains that the formation of the organizational mechanism of public administration in this area should be
based on today’s requirements: efficiency; motivation; transparency and digitalization.
