State Supervision of Local Government Authorities
Get PDFState supervision of local government authorities, a requirement of the rule of law, is discussed in relation to municipalities. State supervisory authorities are required to advise and support local government authorities. Supervision at various state levels takes place as legal supervision, which only includes the supervision of legality in matters of the municipality’s original competence, and as functional supervision that also supervises expediency in matters transferred by the state. The legality principle (intervention in all cases) is modified by the expediency principle (discretion). A number of remedies are available for implementing both legal and functional supervisory measures. Where municipalities consider that the supervisory measures, whether legal or functional, violate their rights of selfgovernment, they have recourse to the courts
E-demokracija v Sloveniji: analiza strategij E-uprave
Get PDFRazvite zahodne demokracije v zadnjih letih e-demokraciji posvečajo vse več pozornosti, Slovenija pa v primerjavi z njimi vse bolj zaostaja. Eden izmed razlogov bi lahko bil tudi ta, da nimamo strateškega dokumenta, ki bi opredeljeval temeljna področja in mejnike prihodnjega razvoja e-demokracije pri nas. Ključen dokument na tem področju pri nas je tako Strategija e-uprave Republike Slovenije za obdobje 2006 do 2010. V prihodnosti pa bo to vlogo kot kaže igrala Strategija razvoja elektronskega poslovanja ter izmenjave podatkov iz uradnih evidenc. Namen članka je pokazati, da ne prva in ne druga ne izpolnjujeta niti najosnovnejših pogojev za uspešen razvoj e-demokracije in bo zato potrebna predstavitev specifičnega dokumenta oz. strategije
Visokošolsko izobraževanje - njegov pomen in financiranje v Sloveniji
Get PDFIzobrazba postaja problematična predvsem glede zadostnosti sredstev, saj javno financiranje ne zadostuje več. Članek obravnava problematiko financiranja visokošolskega izobraževanja z vidika zadostnosti sredstev in z vidika pomena izobraževanja. Prikazani so načini neposrednega in posrednega financiranja izobraževanja v Sloveniji in rezultati raziskave, v kateri so študenti navedli svoje mnenje o pomenu izobraževanja in financiranju. Velika večina anketirancev se strinja, da bi uvedba šolnin povzročila manjšo udeležbo populacije v visokem šolstvu ter da bi se tako zmanjšale enake možnosti izobraževanja. Kljub temu pa se največji delež anketirancev ni strinjal s trditvijo, da se v primeru plačila šolnin ne bi šolali
Social Responsibility and Governance-Management Process as a Basis of Excellence in Public Administration
Get PDFAn increasing number of public administration organisations are already aware of the fact that excellence is not only the domain of private sector organisations. They are looking for up-to-date management tools with which they would like to continuously improve operations and increase stakeholder satisfaction. This confirms the belief that approaches for managing private organisations are the same as for public organisations, the only difference (by now) being in the basic goal(s) of private and public sector organisations. The article presents definitions and descriptions of key fields whose understanding is important for the logical and systematic formation and use of an up-to-date excellence model for public administration. The proposed excellence model was formed and tested with the objective to contribute to the development of Slovenian public administration and a state as a whole
Lokalno upravljanje in novi javni menedžment
Get PDFEkonomska globalizacija, vedno bolj diferencirani in nestabilni trgi, fiskalne krize v luči vse večje javne porabe so elementi negotove prihodnosti za lokalne skupnosti. Slednje so ujete med vedno večje povpraševanje uporabnikov oziroma občanov po kakovostnih javnih storitvah ter regulativo države, ki (lahko) duši kreativni razvoj in tekmovanje na globalnem trgu lokalnih skupnosti. V tem kontekstu vedno zahtevnejšega okolja deluje tudi lokalna uprava, ki se mora za uspešno soočenje s prvinami tega okolja reformirati. V prispevku poleg značilnosti lokalnega upravljanja predstavimo tudi njegovo reformiranje po načelih novega javnega menedžmenta. V empiričnem delu predstavimo izsledke obsežnejše študije reformiranja lokalnih uprav v Evropski uniji ter implikacije, ki jih ima delovanje reformiranih lokalnih uprav na uspešnost celotne lokalne skupnosti
The Relationship between the Mayor and Deputy-Mayor in the Slovenian Local Self-Government System
Get PDFThe paper analyses the question of relations between the mayor and deputymayor, particularly in terms of division of competences. The paper also deals with the standpoints of mayors and deputy-mayors regarding the institution of deputy-mayor. Furthermore, it verifies the assumption that the current regulatory framework regarding the appointment (and determination of competences) of the deputy-mayor is not entirely appropriate. Based on the analysis of objective data and research surveys among mayors and deputy-mayors of Slovenian municipalities, we analyse the problems of the functioning of those players. We learn that the current Slovenian legislation is favourable to consolidating the position and power of the mayor, because he/she can freely appoint and determine competences of the deputy- mayor(s)
Representative Public Administration as the Modelling Behaviour for the New Bureaucracy
Get PDFThere is a widespread belief that the states and markets are not the omnipotent institutions. Although public participation is gaining importance, this paper argues that in the present situation liberal and democratic elements can be fastest achieved by promotion of values in the public administration. The idea is built on a notion of active representative bureaucracy, while passive representation of the society should be still under the rule of law and/or merit system of hiring public servants. The proposed strategy in a time of austerity is somehow illogical, but it could be efficient: more public funds should be given in education, (re)training and practical experiments of the good practices from other states should become more relevant. Although in our time – when reductions of public funds and dismissals of employees are present – it will be difficult to achieve this goal, we should not forget that humanity has never depended on finances; the public trust, awareness, faith and other values are all the more needed in the time of crisis. We should start from ourselves as individuals to proceed towards the benefits of community
Some Characteristics of Employees as Risk Factors for Presenteeism
Get PDFPresenteeism, or the act of attending work while sick or despite feeling unwell, is a relatively new concept in the sphere of work. It is a phenomenon that has begun to be monitored more intensively around the world in the last decade. Presenteeism can affect an employee’s work in various ways and its consequences mean that it is already a problem in itself. Employers devote too little attention to it or are frequently not even aware of it. The majority of employers are in fact too often focused on the growing problem of absence from work because of sickness (absenteeism) and on eliminating the negative consequences of absenteeism, and do not (yet) see presenteeism as a problem. The research presented in this article deals with the question of the impact of employee characteristics on the phenomenon of presenteeism. The characteristics considered included ambition, financial worries, job security, sick leave and the physical and mental health of employees
Ali je bil reformni ukrep Slovenije iz leta 2012 na področju davčne zakonodaje za mikro podjetja učinkovit?
Get PDFSpremembi Zakona o dohodnini (Zdoh-2L) ter Zakona o davku oddohodkov pravnih oseb (ZDDPO-2F) sta prinesli možnost administrativnoenostavnejšega načina ugotavljanja davčne osnove za obdavčitev dobičkovposlovnih subjektov, ki ne zahteva vodenja poslovnih knjig za davčne namene,temveč priznava 70% normiranih stroškov. Presoja učinkov uvedbe omenjenihzakonov skoraj ne določa ciljev, zato je učinkovitost težko analizirati, kljubtemu pa smo na podlagi podatkov Ministrstva za finance ter podatkov izletnih poročil, ki jih zbira Ajpes, ugotovili, da je nabor subjektov, ki jim je bilasprememba zakonodaje namenjena, bistveno večji kot je število subjektov, kiso poenostavljeni sistem priglasili DURS-u. Vzroke smo pokazali na podatkihiz letnih poročil
