The article provides a critical analysis of current trends in the sphere of legal liability of civil servants and the sphere of employment law of Ukraine. It is established that the inconsistency and incompleteness of the national legislation on public service has a negative impact on the effectiveness of legal liability of public servants. A small number of works in administrative law which, firstly, solve the conceptual problems of administrative law, and secondly, combine knowledge of the theory of law, the science of administrative law and the work of other branches of science. It is concluded that official law should be considered as an institution of administrative law, which has a cross-sectoral nature. The legal responsibility of public servants is a sub-institute of service law of Ukraine. The cross-sectoral nature of service law is due to the fact that today it combines the rules of administrative, constitutional, labor, civil and criminal law. It was found that the content of national legislation allows to distinguish the following types of legal liability of public servants: 1) disciplinary liability, which is regulated mainly by the rules of administrative law; 2) disciplinary liability, which is regulated by labor law; 3) administrative liability, which is regulated by the rules of administrative tort law; 4) material liability, which today is partially regulated by the rules of administrative law (we are talking about the procedure for voluntary compensation for material damage) and mainly by the rules of civil law (we are talking about the procedure for forced compensation for material damage); 5) criminal liability, which is provided by the norms of criminal and criminal procedural legislation. It is established that the legal liability of public servants can only be retrospective, that is, used only for the commission of illegal acts by these employees. Arguments are given regarding the lack of positive responsibility of public servants. The use of this concept in the scientific literature is due only to the reluctance of scientists to break away from the archaic ideas about the structure of the rule of law, legal sanctions and incentives.
The article reveals the specifics of using goal setting as a tool for improving the administrative and legal regulation of political service in Ukraine. It has been established that over the past thirty years, a large number of normative legal acts have been adopted in our country, which testify to the existence in Ukraine, in addition to state, patronage and other types of public service, political service. However, the administrative and legal regulation does not establish the basis of political service, in particular, there are no general requirements for entry, completion and termination of service in political positions in public administration bodies. It was found that the administrative-legal regulation of the public service in Ukraine has other defects, which are caused by deficiencies in the definition, fixation and implementation of goals, firstly, the reform of the public service as an institution of administrative law, and secondly, the administrative-legal regulation of public services in Ukraine. It is proposed to define goal setting in administrative law: 1) as a methodological technique for identifying the goals of public service reform and its administrative and legal regulation (with mandatory consideration of the principles of administrative law); 2) as a tool for improving the administrative and legal regulation of the public service in Ukraine (goals should be formed on the basis of modeling the ideal legal result of the administrative and legal regulation of the public service); 3) as a doctrine on determining the goals of administrative-legal phenomena and, including, administrative-legal regulation. It was emphasized that the political service, unlike other types of public service, has the worst administrative and legal support. Actually, goal setting, as a scientific methodological technique and a tool for improving legal regulation, helps to identify the reasons for such a situation in the modern legal system of Ukraine. It was concluded that the reasons for the insufficient administrative and legal support of the political service in Ukraine are, firstly, the lack of general goals of reforming the public service and at the same time the lack of purposeful assignment of the political service as an integral and important element of the public service in Ukraine, secondly, secondary (non-serious) attitude of politicians, officials and subjects of the legislative initiative to the administrative and legal regulation of the foundations of political service in Ukraine, which is clearly visible in the quality and quantity of legal prescriptions in this area.
Administrative process is a legal phenomenon that causes discussion and controversy among representatives of administrative law and the process both in terms of determining its content, form and functional purpose in the system of legal proceedings, and in terms of subjects, principles and substantive jurisdiction. Thus, the ideas of Ukrainian scholars about the administrative process are not always related exclusively to the understanding and legal regulation of administrative proceedings, and therefore textbooks and manuals on the disciplines "Administrative Procedure" and "Administrative Procedural Law" differ significantly in content.
