FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS IN UKRAINE IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT

Abstract

The article defines the mutual influence and, on this basis, a modern understanding of the goals, objectives and functions of public administration of the areas of physical education and sports in Ukraine in the context of moving away from the paradigm of managing people to the concept of serving civil society. It is determined that the modern tasks and functions of public administration in the field of physical culture and sports are determined by its purpose as a guide for the development of the respective system as a desirable direction of its activity. Moving away from the paradigm of people management and authority to the concept of civil society servicing by the authorities, there is a reconsideration of all categories of administrative law that relate to the whole. In the context of the development of the theory of public administration, such changes include the expediency of defining the purpose of public administration of the spheres of physical culture and sport – ensuring the rights, freedoms and interests of the individual and the citizen on the basis of building partnerships between the authorities and society, which in turn allows the purpose of the functioning of public administration in the specified serums to determine service to the community. It is established that the achievement of the goal is achieved through the development of a system of goals (which can be enshrined in the program-target acts with the development of implementation plans), regulation of tasks and functions of subjects of public administration of the physical culture and sports. The purpose, tasks and functions are in comparison with the goals more stable provisions on the general direction and specific directions of activity of specific subjects of the organizational structure of the public administration of the spheres of physical culture and sports. It is concluded that the directions of activity of the subjects of public administration of the spheres of physical culture and sports, conditioned by the tasks, include the general functions inherent in all subjects of public administration, regardless of the sphere and level in the hierarchy, specialized, different for each level of organizational structure of the function, and ancillary services that serve the general and special. The reform of decentralization of power implies the redistribution of special functions between the links of the system of different levels, for which it is expedient to transfer a number of functions to the lower levels and to perform a functional support structure from higher levels.
