Abstract

Updating the prestige of the public service is a prerequisite for successful European integration and good and efficient public administration that meets the requirements of modern times and European standards and principles of good governance. The aim of the article is to study the prestige of public service through cluster analysis. The article considers the directions of increasing the prestige of public service and highlights the main advantages. The research is based on the analysis of indicators that directly affect the formation of the prestige of the public service of Ukraine and leading countries. Also, to take into account the prestige, international indices were selected, which are the result of the effectiveness of public administration and the macroeconomic environment, as they reflect the opportunities and freedom of activity. With the help of cluster analysis, the classification of indicators that characterize the level of prestige of the civil service in different countries is carried out. As a result, the formation of clusters of prestige of the civil service in different countries of the world is considered and practical recommendations for its increase are presented. It is established that the prestige of the public service is of paramount functional importance, as it is civil servants who are the real leaders of publicity ideas in practice. The article concludes that the prestige of public service largely depends not only on the availability of highly qualified staff, but also on efficiency, but also on the trust, respect of the population, on how the laws and regulations of public authorities will be perceived in public opinion. The prestige of public service is a key indicator of the efficiency and strength of the state in the international environment. It also directly affects the state's ability to provide services to the population, promote competition and growth.
