Rman, Milan (author), Brezovšek, Marjan (author), Stare, Janez (author)

This paper presents the study of a measurement model of professional operation of state administration. From the perspective of reliable performance of state functions, the professional operation of state administration represents one of the goals of social change. Based on theoretical-analytical findings, a measurement model of professional operation of state administration was designed. It consists of three dimensions, namely: reliability of state administration, professionalisation of the administrative profession, and competence of employees. The reliability dimension is represented by the element of legality and economic efficiency, the profession dimension is based on power, autonomy, knowledge and responsibility, and the competence dimension includes elements of leadership and ethics. The measurement model was tested in the Slovenian state administration. The results of the research confirm the connection between the three aforementioned dimensions of professional operation of state administration and, consequently, the validity of the designed model.

• Title: Model merjenja strokovnosti državne uprave

Abstract

Prispevek obravnava model merjenja strokovnosti delovanja državne uprave. Z vidika zanesljivega opravljanja državnih funkcij predstavlja strokovnost državne uprave enega od ciljev družbenih sprememb. Model merjenja strokovnosti državne uprave je zasnovan na podlagi teoretično-analitičnih ugotovitev. Sestavljen je iz treh vidikov, in sicer: zanesljivost državne uprave, strokovnost upravne stroke in usposobljenost zaposlenih. Vidik zanesljivosti vključuje element zakonitosti in ekonomske učinkovitosti, vidik strokovnosti temelji na pristojnosti, avtonomiji, znanju in odgovornosti, vidik usposobljenosti pa vključuje elemente vodenja in etike. Model je bil preizkušen v slovenski državni upravi. Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo povezavo med omenjenimi vidiki strokovnosti državne uprave in posledično veljavnost zasnovanega modela.
