Reorganizacija občinske uprave – primer Nove Gorice
Get PDFZaradi stalne potrebe po izboljšavah in racionalizaciji poslovanja se je vodstvo uprave Mestne občine Nova Gorica odločilo s pomočjo svetovalne skupine Fakultete za upravo analizirati organizacijo struktur in poslovanja mestne uprave ter ugotoviti potrebne ukrepe za racionalizacijo in večjo uspešnost. V projektu so člani svetovalne skupine pristopili k analizi stanja interdisciplinarno, tako da so podali pregled ekonomskih kazalnikov, primerjavo organiziranosti z drugimi mestnimi občinami, pravno analizo pristojnosti in organizacijske strukture uprave mestne občine, oceno uspešnosti po modelu CAF, analizo zadovoljstva zaposlenih ter analizo obremenjenosti oddelkov in tipičnih delovnih mest. Razvili so nekaj izvirnih metodoloških pristopov. Po analizi so identificirali vrsto možnosti za strukturne, organizacijske, menedžerske in druge izboljšave
Sposobnost slovenskega parlamenta sodelovati v procesu odločanja na ravni EU
Get PDFRazvoj EU je ustvaril posebno vrsto 'delegirane demokracije', v kateri imajo večjo moč izvršilna telesa, medtem ko imajo nacionalni parlamenti le možnost posrednega vplivanja in nadzora svojih vlad, ko le-te sodelujejo v procesih odločanja na ravni EU. Parlamenti držav članic EU so se v novem okolju znašli različno, saj nekateri dovolj dobro izkoriščajo možnosti sodelovanja s svojimi vladami, kar pa je odvisno od vrste okoliščin in različnih dejavnikov. Državni zbor se je kot nov parlament samostojne države na svojo novo vlogo dovolj dobro pripravil že med pripravami na vključitev, saj je kot edini parlament držav kandidatk potrjeval pogajalska stališča. Zelo dobra je tudi njegova formalna in organizacijska pripravljenost (institutional capacity), medtem ko mu primanjkuje praktičnega znanja in izkušenj (cultural capacity)
Analiza administrativnih bremen okoljskih predpisov v Sloveniji
Get PDFPomembno vprašanje ob uvedbi predpisov, ki zadevajo tudi gospodarstvo, je, kakšna je povezanost med uvedbo regulative in konkurenčnostjo podjetij in države ter ali predpisi povzročajo preveliko administrativno breme in s tem previsoke administrativne stroške. V članku je opravljena analiza okoljske regulative, ki kaže na potencialne povzročitelje previsokih administrativnih bremen na tem področju. Analiza je privedla do podobnih ugotovitev kot so bile ugotovljene v Nizozemski in Veliki Britaniji. Obstoječa okoljska regulativa namreč povzroča preveč podvajanj informacij različnim ali celo istim institucijam v državi. Prav tako je pogostost obračunskih obdobij pri nekaterih okoljskih dajatvah neekonomična

Civil Servants’ View of the Development of e-Government in Slovenia
Get PDFThe paper presents the results of a study focused on the so-called internal aspect of e-government – i. e., the aspect of the civil servants. It is wellknown that in both Slovenia and most other countries there is a significant discrepancy between the selection and the actual use of the possibilities that e-government provides. A substantial number of researchers have been intensely engaged in the study of factors inciting (mainly) the citizens to use e-government. In our belief, those factors need also be searched for within the internal e-government users, i.e. the civil servants. In this perspective, we have examined: (1) their use of, and satisfaction with, information technologies in the job context; (2) their skills required for e-government; (3) the effect of e-government on their job, their organisation, and public administration in general; (4) their views of further development of e-government within the public administration. A number of results indicate that responsibility for the low use of e-government by citizens and enterprises can in fact be partly ascribed to the civil servants. Further, the research has revealed that the surveyed civil servants lacked sufficient skills required for an active participation in the development of e-government, and that this development has not resulted in any vital changes in the operations of the public administration
Size and Development of the Third Sector: An Insight Into Cross-Country Differences
Get PDFNon-profit or third sector is a very diverse sector and its socio-economic importance is rising in modern societies, although the way in which this sector is operating is changing dramatically, causing that dividing lines with for-profit and government sector are blurring. Nevertheless, quite substantial differences can be observed in the development and relative size of non-profit sector across countries, several factors potentially contributing to those differences. Consequently, the purpose of the paper is to theoretically and empirically investigate the effect of governmental interventionism, level of economic development and extent of societal heterogeneity on the variations in the size of the non-profit sector across countries, since theory predicts certain macro relations between those variables. Furthermore, the paper tries to address certain limitation and pitfalls of the development of non-profit sector in the future, predominantly related to increased pressures for commercialisation and performance orientation
Pravo in menedžment kot zaveznika pri delovanju javne uprave – Poročilo s Trans European Dialogue, 2011
Get PDFInvestor and (Un)Accountability of The Supervisor in Self-Construction of a Single-Family House
Get PDFThe paper addresses the role and importance of a supervisor and his controlling bodies in self-construction of a single-family house. We study his accountability in actions, which must be in accordance with both statutory provisions and ethical-moral rules of social responsibility. In determining his accountability for construction execution we mainly focus on the findings of his monitoring bodies, the professional organizations (the Slovenian Chamber of Engineers and the Chamber of Architecture and Environmental Planning of Slovenia) and the building inspectorate. The Construction Act and certain rules, which clearly specify obligations of supervisors in self-construction and also provide sanctions, are critically discussed. Construction is always accompanied by various interests and the legislator must ensure minimal safety and construction standards, as well as living standards for all single-family houses, in order to ensure socially responsible actions of all participants in a project. In practice the status and role of the supervisor from the investor’s point of view is not clear
Public Accountability through Soft Steering
Get PDFThis article argues that present-day procedures on public accountability miss the essence of being accountable. We suggest that alternatives are available in social psychology theory and network theory, which point to the decisive role of peers or experienced organization members. In this view, it is not leadership but middle management that is crucial in the socialization of newcomers in an organization to internalize values and to create a situation in which employers and employees develop mutual expectations about what is expected from one another and create multiplex networks in order to maintain such values
