Abstract
The reform of the public service in Ukraine is discussed from the
theory of institutional isomorphism perspective. European integration
intentions have conditioned the efforts on increasing the efficiency of
Ukrainian public administration system as a whole and the public services in
particular. It is shown that the coercive isomorphism has two components -
implementation of new progressive models by the Western standards and
keeping the old administrative system and functions inherited from the Soviet
times. Since 2014 (after signing the Association Agreement with the European
Union and the worsening of relations with the Russian Federation) the
progressive transformations become dominating and we may talk about the
third step of institutional isomorphism, the normative one. Together with the
new laws and regulations, which fix the transformation achievements, it takes
place a professionalization of the cadres in the public administration system
according to the EU standards, norms and practices.
