Abstract:
The study defines the main directions for improving approaches to performance evaluation for the heads of territorial bodies of federal executive authorities (FEAs). The author analyzes the shortcomings of the existing evaluation and performance criteria system and examines approaches to understanding the public administration efficiency by domestic and foreign scientists. The materials of the study offer ways for administrative and legal consolidation of performance indicators, as well as methods for their evaluation based on interactions of federal executive bodies with scientific organizations. The relevance of the study is defined by the existing gap between modern scientific achievements in the field of performance evaluation for public administration and the current administrative acts in this area. The objects of the study are administrative and legal norms governing the indicators for the effectiveness of the heads of territorial bodies, ways to assess them, the existing shortcomings of legal regulation, and ways to overcome them. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the idea of the client-oriented approach, which revises the approaches to evaluate the performance by replacing quantitative criteria of effectiveness with qualitative. The goal of the study is to introduce a scientifically based approach and improve the administrative and legal regulation of the existing system for evaluating the performance of the heads of territorial bodies of federal executive authorities based on a comprehensive legal, managerial and comparative analysis.
