Personnel policy of the state in the field of reducing the level of legal nihilism of civil servants

We study one of the varieties of legal nihilism – the legal nihilism of civil servants, which undermines the role of law as the main regulator of public relations, harms the socio-economic, moral, cultural and other activities of the state. We analyze official statistical data confirming the prevalence of legal nihilism among civil servants, which arises in the field of administrative management and replaces legalized public relations. We point out that the personnel policy is one of the ways to minimize the legal nihilism of civil servants, since it determines the effectiveness of the implementation of goals and tasks facing civil servants. In accordance with the regulatory legal acts, the basic requirements for the formation of the personnel of the civil service are analyzed. We substantiate that one of the effective means to reduce the level of legal nihilism among civil servants may be the adoption of a unified Concept of personnel policy in the field of public service, fixing the fundamental principles (principles, areas of activity, goals, objectives, strategy for the formation of personnel of public servants), as well as the creation of appropriate Concepts in each department, taking into account the specifics of the functions being implemented. We note that only consistent and competent actions can have a positive impact.
