The authors determined indicators of professional competence of civil servants under conditions of reforming the system of public administration. Scientific approaches to interpretation of the concepts of “governance” and “public administration” are generalized and the relationship of these terms is analyzed. The main markers of professional competence of civil servants in the public sphere are being considered. The results of the study found that a significant proportion of civil servants for various reasons does not deal with the systematic development of their professional resource, which is based on creativity. At the same time, a high level of tension in professional activity, specific difficulties in the public service system cause problems in personal and professional development of civil servants, complicating the process of disclosing this potential and, accordingly, obtaining a higher level of competence for the pursuit of professional activity.
Among the effective areas of training of civil servants and raising their professional competence, the authors highlight (i) the development and justification of new criteria for evaluating the qualities, efficiency and effectiveness of management personnel in the field of civil service, (ii) stimulation of professional growth in the process of annual evaluation, and (iii) participation in open competitions. Accordingly, the development of further research is determined by the possibility of improving the theoretical and methodological foundations of studying the markers of professional competence of civil servants as applied aspects of the harmonization of the process of their professionalization taking into account the modern requirements of the new model of public administration.
