Employment in the public administration of the Republic of Croatia with an example

Ovaj rad obrađluje problematiku zapo5ljavanja u javnoj upravi. Temelj predmeta rada nalazi se u relevantnim zakonskim propisima, ponajprije u Zakonu o državnim službenicimate Zakonu o radu. Kada se govori o zapo5ljavanju u javnoj upravi Republike Hrvatske, misli se na prilično kompleksan, dugotrajnom i neefikasan postupak, u kojemu se nerijetko događa i problem neetičnog postupanja. Značajni pomaci reforme hrvatske javne uprave po pitanju zapošljavanja već su učinjeni, no potrebno je još truda i usklađivanja s europskim standardima kako bi javna uprava Republike Hrvatske mogla služiti kao pozitivan model upravljanja društvom. Neophodno je standardizirani postupak kojim se biraju kandidati koji će raditi u javnoj upravi, a testiranja se moraju provoditi transparentno od strane neovisnog stručnog tijela. Javna se uprava treba voditi načelima pravičnosti, odgovornosti, pravednosti, jednakosti i nediskriminacije. Na taj način će u sustav javne uprave u Hrvatskoj ući najkompetentniji kandidati, efikasnije 6e funkcionirati cijeli sustav vlasti, ojačat će se povjerenje građana u javnu upravu i svi će građani biti jednaki pred zakonom.This paper deals with the issue of employment in public administration. The basis of the subject of the paper is in the relevant legal regulations, primarily in the Civil Servants Act and the Labor Act. When we talk about employment in the public administration of the Republic of Croatia, we mean a rather complex, time-consuming and inefficient procedure, in which the problem ofunethical behavior often occurs. Significant progress in the reform of Croatian public administration in terms of employment has already been made, but more effort and harmonization with European standards is needed in order for the public administration of the Republic of Croatia to serve as a positive model of corporate governance. It is necessary to have a standardized procedure for selecting candidates for work in public administration, and testing must be conducted transparently by an independent expert body. Public administration should be guided by the principle s of fairness, accountability, fairnes s, equality and non-discrimination. In this way, the most competent c.andidates will enter the public administration system in Croatia, the entire system of government will function more efficiently, citizens' trust in public administration will be strengthened and all citizens will be equal before the law
