This article seeks to explain the attitudes of civil servants to the preparation of redesigning the civil service system. The starting point for this study is the perplexing point that the plans to reform the Lithuanian civil service system, which was designed to enhance the influence and role of top managers, resulted in the civil servants themselves as the plan's most conspicuous opponents. The article provides explanations to this puzzling situation, drawing on contractualization as the radical reform model or public management model. An attempt is made to find some support for performance contracts, as well as the objectives of rotation implementation and the creation of a higher civil service system. The article argues that civil servants may regard contracts and other managerial elements as a way of realizing other objectives in the reform that they value.

This paper analyses two issues: first, the possibilities for corrections of Lithuanian civil service legal regulation, deliberating on a more flexible regulation perspective. It discusses whether the narrowing of civil service legal regulation could become a potential way to increase the efficiency of public administration with respect to the Lithuanian legal system. It also evaluates the possibilities of discretionary power use in the civil service. Another issue is the possibility of Lithuanian civil servants and public sector employees' statuses change, emphasizing existing problems and alternative considerations that may lead to the correction of the concept of servant in the future. The need for special civil servant status and responsibilities are discussed, as well as the possibilities to extend, narrow or eliminate the corps of civil servants. The paper is based on the data from qualitative research carried out in 2011 in the form of semi-structured interviews with more than fifty of the highest level Lithuanian civil servants, politicians responsible for civil service, and other experts-practitioners of the field.

Reforms known as New Public Management in Anglo-Saxon countries are well known to Polish readers, at the same time the literature connected with these reforms implemented in Germany virtually does not exist. The issue of New Public Management settled in Germany is more important to us because structural and functional basis of Polish administration are much more similar to continental than to the Anglo-Saxon model of public administration. The article aims at presenting efforts made to adjust German administration to the efficiency requirements in two ways. The first way are grassroots initiatives taken by local governments whose purpose is to reconfigure their internal structure in order to measure efficiency and gain concrete outputs. The second way is based on deep system-wide reforms: structural, functional and territorial. The specifics of the depicted reforms taken up in Germany are variety and multiple enhanced by federal nature of state; at the same time preferential treatment the rule that administration acts within the law and under the law whose rules reflect classical Weberian's model of public administration.
