State Personnel Policy and the Administrative-Political Elite:
Interconnections, Challenges, and Contemporary Trends
Abstract
The structure, functions, and role of the administrative-political elite in public administration are important factors. State personnel policy is considered one of the main means of elite formation and activity and also ensures the continuity of the elite through recruitment and re-formation mechanisms. Various theoretical approaches—classical, functional, institutional, and neo-elitist—form the basis of the effectiveness of public administration and personnel policy. Modern trends, innovations, digitalization, and the application of ethical principles increase the professionalism of the elite and the efficiency of management. Personnel policy based on open, transparent, and meritocratic principles strengthens the stability and legitimacy of public administration. As a result, a professional administrative-political elite and effective personnel policy play an important role in the strategic development of the state.
