Public service delivery has never been the area of a state monopoly, but the process of the “destatization” of public service delivery accelerated with the wave of new public management (NPM). The competition between private suppliers of public services was expected to reduce public expenditures and improve the quality of services. However, current scepticism towards NPM triggered the revival of the idea of co-production, i.e. direct participation of citizens in public service delivery. This paper reviews the practices of co-production in European health care systems. It is based on an extensive definition of co-production, not only including co-delivery, but also co-planning, co-financing and co- -evaluation. The existing evidence regarding the effects of co-production is also reviewed.

Decentralization and privatization have been the key elements of the new public management agenda for reshaping public services. Both trends have also affected the area of health services, with particular focus on hospital management. This paper describes the process of decentralization of healthcare and hospital governance in Poland for recent decades and discusses whether the increasing role of local and regional governments in hospital management has triggered the process of privatization of healthcare units. Deriving from statistical data and qualitative assessment, it concludes that while privatization of hospitals in one of the important trends in the Polish health policy, its scope is limited by several obstacles of economic, political and social nature.

Budgeting prompts a more efficient and transparent management of public funds and allows for efficient long-term economic planning. The article presents solutions for the budget task force in selected EU countries and discusses the implementation of a budget task force in Poland as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using a task force as opposed to sticking with classic budgeting. The practical section of the work shows a solution proposed for the customs administration. It shows those tasks the customs administration is charged with performing, the objectives, and the measures. The summary examines the problems that arose in the context of the performance budget in government administration.

Theoretical background: Participatory budgeting enables the co-creation of local budgets through discussions between residents and local authorities. Thanks to this, it is possible to implement those investments that are important for the local community. By voting, the citizens may participate in the process of creating local development. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is the diagnosis of the concept of public governance and tools used within the framework of co-management, with particular emphasis on the participatory budget on the example of the city of Lublin in 2015–2021. Research methods: The analysis covered existing data from budget resolutions of individual cities, reports from the Lublin Research Group and from Internet sources. The publication includes both quantitative and qualitative research. Main findings: The participatory budget of Lublin is characterized by a relatively high share of funds allocated to the implementation of tasks in total budget expenditure compared to other provincial cities in Poland. For several years, there has also been a noticeable decline in the turnout of people voting for projects under the participatory budget. Thanks to a detailed analysis of the functioning of the participatory budget of the city of Lublin, compared to other provincial cities in Poland, there is a need to promote the idea of social participation more strongly.

We have witnessed fundamental changes in developmental conditions in the last decade. Their pace is constantly growing, and the increasing dynamics of socio-economic transformations create a new reality. The consequences of the changes affect not only companies, but also public administration. Therefore, the goal of the article was to identify the directions of the reforms of new public management in Polish and Spanish public administration in the years 2010-2015. An analysis of the research results shows that the most important trends of the reforms in Poland included: i) transparency of actions, ii) digital administration and e-government and iii) cooperation between various entities of the public sector, whereas Spanish respondents regarded the following trends as the most important: i) digital administration and e-government, ii) reduction of the public sector, iii) transparency of actions. The results of the research show the progressive convergence of the directions and tools of the reforms in EU countries, while maintaining differences in some aspects of development in particular countries.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to define the factors that contribute to the use of the category of accountability not only in the formal meaning (public finance discipline), but also for the needs of public management (effectiveness of public finances). Methodology and findings: The article indicates that one of the conditions to ensure the effectiveness of public finances in the fight against the crisis is the use of accountability rules relating to the process of public finance management. The article is based on the concept of quality of public finances and institutional arrangements used for the management of public finances Originality: This article presents two dimensions of accountability: first is the traditional approach to accountability equated with responsibility for public finance discipline; second is the modern approach in which accountability is a kind of public authority program built on the commitment to achieve the purpose and the need to account for the results. The article indicates that the category of accountability can be regarded as part of the public financial management system, both at the national and supranational level.

Public administration is subject to permanent reforms, adapting its organization, tasks, approach to the needs and ideas of the modern world. At the same time, looking for the elements and forms that legitimize its functioning. Introduced reforms change the role and position of the civil service, affecting its legitimacy. Executive Management Model NPM affects the range of public benefits, and thus, indirectly, acceptance of a new model of public service. NPG model strengthens the position of the citizen in the process of setting public purpose, forces civil service to the negotiations, consensual activities while defining the public interest. In this way, a citizen deciding together with the public administration, accepts the public service activities and, at the same time, legitimizes them. The affirmation of the public service and its role in the performance of state tasks strengthens its position in the state and, thus, indirectly influences the legitimacy level of the civil service.

Administracja publiczna podlega permanentnym reformom, dostosowując swoją organizację, zadania i sposób działania do potrzeb oraz idei współczesnego świata. Jednocześnie szuka elementów i form legitymizujących jej funkcjonowanie. Wprowadzane reformy zmieniają rolę i pozycję służby publicznej, oddziałując na jej legitymizację. Menadżerskie zarządzanie z modelu NPM wpływa na zakres świadczeń publicznych, a tym samym (nie wprost) na akceptację nowego modelu służby publicznej. Z kolei model NPG wzmacnia pozycję obywatela w procesie wyznaczania celu publicznego, zmusza służbę publiczną do negocjacji i działań konsensualnych w czasie definiowania interesu publicznego. W ten sposób obywatel, decydując wraz z administracją publiczną, akceptuje działania służby publicznej i jednocześnie je legitymizuje. Afirmacja służby publicznej i jej roli w realizacji zadań państwa wzmacnia jej pozycję w państwie, a tym samym pośrednio wpływa na poziom legitymizacji służby publicznej.

The historical nexus of academia and gender has been characterised by exclusivity. The classical idea of innovative science was shaped by male scientists and reflected their ways of living and was mainly reproduced via gatekeeping and homosocial co-optation processes. Recently, academia has begun a transition towards a new model of academic organisation and governance represented by the vision of the ‘neoliberal university’. In this transition the historical nexus between academic ‘excellence’ and masculine culture is being called into question by new economic mechanisms and instruments of academic governance that are declared to be ‘gender neutral’ and ‘transparent’. In fact, some studies show that management by performance disadvantages female academics by favouring male patronage, but with the instruments of the new governance gender equality can also be introduced as a core principle of excellence criteria, as happened in the case of the German excellence initiative. On the basis of two case studies of German universities, our contribution shows how the nexus between ‘excellence’ competition and masculine culture is eroding, partly due to new ‘quasi’-market mechanisms being combined with gender equality policies. Our findings shed light on new gendered work patterns and inequalities of contemporary academia. Academia is opening up to ‘excellent’ high-performance women, while other women are still disadvantaged.

The text shows how managerialism related to various paradoxes and inconsistencies of the welfare state reforms interfere with new areas of uncertainty. The reforms have not solved the problems that affect the welfare state for nearly half a century, nor they increased social security and stability of welfare institutions. What’s more – the state itself creates areas of uncertainty, contributing to the strengthening of existing inequalities and social divisions. The situation in Poland does not differ in this respect from the general trends. The text is a review and refers to the U. Beck concept of “Manufactured uncertainties”.

For a long time already, we can witness a demographical change that affects the majority of European societies, including Poland. It is related to the decreasing birth-rate, and to a change of age structure of the society. These changes coincide with sociological and cultural differences that can be visible among the generations. Taking the above into account, we should consider in what ways they can affect the quality of management in public administration. Employment in the private sector is becoming more and more attractive, and public sector staff need to constantly improve their qualifications. Simultaneously, the number of employees is decreasing and it is going to decrease further, according to demographic forecasts. All these call for an in-depth reflection on the quality of human resources management in the public sector, with special attention paid to the motivation factor as an essential element of management. The issue is yet more important since the system of incentives is one of the three key practices necessary for the quality of management for every organisation.

Koncepcja governance stanowi część współczesnych trendów w zarządzaniu publicznym. Od lat 90. XX stulecia zdobywa coraz większą popularność jako jedna z nieodłącznych zasad, związanych z nowymi trendami. Governance oznacza włączanie aktorów, działających w różnych dziedzinach i na zróżnicowanych poziomach, w celu osiągnięcia ich sprzężenia. W polskiej rzeczywistości koncepcja ta jest stosunkowo mało rozpowszechniona, dlatego warto promować jej założenia i wskazywać w jaki sposób może być implementowana w praktyce polityczno-instytucjonalnej. Obecnie jest ona identyfikowana z ulepszaniem metod zarządzania w Unii Europejskiej we wszystkich aspektach implementacji polityk wspólnotowych, w kwestiach znajdujących się poza zasięgiem administracji. Ich waga wzrasta, jako że odnoszą się do partycypacji społecznej oraz kwestii legitymizacji działań publicznych w Unii Europejskiej. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie kluczowych zagadnień, dotyczących koncepcji European governance. W kontekście badań nad ich praktycznymi zastosowaniami, zaprezentowane zostają także kluczowe dokumenty europejskie, dotyczące governance.

The concept of governance is part of contemporary trends in public management. Its popularity has been growing since the early 1980s and it has become one of the main principles in modern approaches. Governance means the inclusion of actors, operating in different areas and at different levels, to achieve common aims at the interface with the public. In the Polish reality, the concept has got relatively little publicity; thus, it is worth promoting its objectives and showing how it can be implemented in the political and institutional practice. At present, it is identified with the improvement of management methods in the European Union in all aspects of the implementation of community policies, within the scope beyond the issues of administrative capacity and management efficiency. Such issues are becoming increasingly important as they relate to social participation and the question of legitimacy of public action in the European Union. The purpose of this article is to present the key issues related to the concept of European governance. It presents the key European documents on governance in the context of the search for its practical applications.

The new public management concept leads to changes in activity of public administration. Pro-market customer (citizen) orientation has to improve efficiency of spending public money and increase quality of public services. The aim of research was to show how changes in the Public Finance Act influence on implementation of the new public management in Polish public administration, especially in the local government sector. It is pointed out that the main shift is performance budget implementation, which cause new definition of goals in public sector and specify measures of inputs and outputs of budget tasks. This is pro-efficiency changes enable experts as well as citizens, which are final customers, evaluation of budget tasks, therefore it should be implemented in the whole general government sector.

Koncepcja nowego zarządzania publicznego jest nastawiona na zmianę zasad funkcjonowania administracji publicznej. Nastawienie na klienta (obywatela) ma za zadanie poprawić efektywność gospodarowania środkami publicznymi i podnieść jakość świadczonych usług. Celem pracy było określenie w jaki sposób zmiany w ustawie o finansach publicznych przyczyniają się do wdrażania koncepcji nowego zarządzania publicznego w administracji publicznej, a w szczególności w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego. Wskazano, że podstawową zmianą jest wprowadzenie budżetowania zadaniowego, które wymusza zdefiniowanie celów działalności poszczególnych instytucji oraz określenie miar produktu i wyniku osiąganego w ramach danego zadania. Jest to istotna zmiana jakościowa, która umożliwia ocenę realizacji zadania nie tylko specjalistom, ale także końcowym odbiorcom budżetu, jakim są obywatele, dlatego powinna być wprowadzona w całym sektorze publicznym.

W artykule poruszono temat partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego i jego znaczenie w realizacji zadań publicznych. Współpraca dwóch sektorów w dobie narastających deficytów budżetowych będących wynikiem ostatniego kryzysu finansowego, wydaje się być optymalnym rozwiązaniem. Autorka przedstawiła genezę, istotę oraz cechy partnerstwa, dzięki którym możliwe jest osiągnię-cie obustronnych korzyści. To kompleksowość i długoterminowość umowy wyróżniają partnerstwo spośród pozostałych form realizacji przedsięwzięć publicznych, stanowiąc wyraz nowego zarzą-dzania publicznego, które podkreśla znaczenie efektywności w gospodarowaniu zasobami pu-blicznymi, w tym finansowymi. W celu pełnego ukazania problemu w dwóch pierwszych rozdzia-łach wykorzystano dorobek naukowy dotyczący zagadnień związanych z partnerstwem i znacze-niem efektywności przy podejmowaniu decyzji przez jednostki sektora publicznego, by w kolej-nym rozdziale przytoczyć dane z Raportu Centrum PPP i Instytutu PPP przedstawiające rozwój rynku partnerstwa w latach 2009–2013. Partnerstwo może stać się efektywnym narzędziem reali-zacji zadań publicznych i przynieść wymierne korzyści dla partnera publicznego wynikające z do-świadczeń sektora prywatnego w projektowaniu, budowaniu, dostarczaniu usług oraz zarządzaniu, zabezpieczając jednocześnie interes społeczny i interes partnerów prywatnych, pod warunkiem, że władze centralne stworzą prawno-instytucjonalne warunki dla jego rozwoju.

The article is devoted towards the application of managerial accounting for deliverology development at the local government level in countries and comparing them to the stage of fiscal decentralisation implementation in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to show how the application of the managerial accounting approach in the public sector can contribute to the introduction of deliverology at the local level using Ukraine as an example. The methodology is based on the application of Difference in Difference method for the implementation of deliverology at the local government level. It has been proved that the use of multi-criteria decision-making methods in the analysis of the performance of budget programmes at the local level will contribute to the improvement of public services delivery. The main contribution of this study is to provide the basis for developing recommendations for the use of a single or uniform standard of electronic databases on regional development indicators and local budgets. This will help to ensure operational control over deviations of actual indicators from planned ones, as well as identify regions where local authorities are using resources inefficiently.
