Особливості державного управління соціальними процесами ; Peculiarities of public administration of social processes
Досліджено проблеми формування і функціонування системи державного управління соціальними процесами як основу вирішення завдань соціально-економічного розвитку. Встановлено, що сутність державного управління обумовлена функціями держави, які реалізуються у взаємодії із суспільством, у яких виявляється та конкретизується її суть та соціальне призначення держави. Науково обґрунтовано положення, що одним із головних завдань системи державного управління є створення сприятливих умов для реалізації можливостей соціальної системи, які виникають завдяки використанню різних методів управлінського впливу, які розширюють права і відповідальність різних суб'єктів самоврядування. На основі дослідження проблем соціально-економічного розвитку України встановлено, що Євроінтеграційні процеси, започатковані в Україні, вимагають реформування соціальної політики, соціального управління та формування нової системи соціальних цінностей. ; Problem setting. At the present stage of social and economic development of Ukraine, social risks have reached a scale that can pose a real threat not only to social but also to national security. In today's conditions of the formation of Ukraine as an independent state, the question of transforming the mechanisms of public administration of social development in accordance with the nature of the internal and external environment is important. The quality of public administration plays a fundamental role in the process of European integration, and in ensuring the integrity of the state.Recent research and publications analysis. Both leading Ukrainian and foreign scholars deal with the social aspects of public administration, and they argue in their works that the social function of public administration is the most important – all the others are derivatives. The results of scientific research on social policy can be traced in Ukrainian experts representing various branches of science: economics, sociology, philosophy, law, medicine, etc. There are famous among them: Libanova, Makarova, Novikov, Kolot, Hrishnova, Antoniuk, Lisohor, Lopushniak, Mandybura, Shevchenko, Kaminska, Saienko, Suimenko and others.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. It is established that the essence of public administration is determined by the functions of the state that are implemented in interaction with society, in which the essence and social purpose of the state are revealed and specified. It is scientifically substantiated that one of the main tasks of the public administration system is to create favorable conditions for the realization of the possibilities of the social system that arise due to the use of various methods of administrative influence that extend the rights and responsibilities of various entities of self-government.The purpose of the article is to study the essence of public administration in general and the peculiarities of management of social processes in particular. Paper main body. On the basis of the study of the problems of socio-economic development of Ukraine, it has been established that the European integration processes launched in Ukraine require the reform of social policy, social management and the formation of a new system of social values.The growth of the role of social aspects of public administration is due to the expansion of the role of human capital, social investment and social responsibility of the economic activity objects. It should be borne in mind that in the modern economic system there is a process of profound transformation of economic and administrative relations. Taking into account the foregoing, it can be concluded that the modern system of public administration in Ukraine has the remnants of a command-administrative system of governance based on redundant centralization of authority and functions. The unreformed system of public administration is one of the sources of corruption, which leads to low international ratings and Ukraine's competitiveness on world markets. It is scientifically substantiated that social function is one of the most important functions of a democratic and legal state, which is to secure the rights and freedoms of every person and citizen throughout the country, to create conditions for the reproduction and development of a person, to stimulate creative growth of a person, and to implement the principles of social justice.It is proved that social management methods are connected with the ways of achieving the social goals of society: not only economic, organizational and administrative means of motivation of human behavior, but also through setting social goals, improving the quality of life, strengthening social organizations, increasing the social maturity of society, its separate structures, and first of all managers. Social methods include a wide range of methods of social normalization, social regulation, and moral stimulation. This allows to streamline social relations between social groups, teams and individual workers by introducing different social norms. Economic management methods are the ways and means of achieving economic objectives of management based on the implementation of the requirements of economic laws.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. One of the main tasks of the modern management system is to create favorable conditions for the realization of the capabilities of a managed system that arise due to the use of various methods of administrative influence that extend the rights and responsibilities of various entities of self-government. The problems of self-government acquire a special status in the conditions of decentralization: when it comes to recognizing the rights of the subject of governance not only for state bodies and public organizations, but also for social groups, labor collectives and each individual.
