The development of the public administration system in Ukraine is taking place in conditions of dynamic changes. Therewith, the rapid pace of innovative socio-political changes proposed by powerful political players in the modern world and domestic representatives of the local authorities, challenges the ability of people to adapt to new social circumstances. Given the urgency of improving the quality of public administration, there is a need to create an effective civil service. The study defines the theoretical and methodological principles of modern national development towards its improvement and the functioning of public authorities. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the essence of modern national development to improve the functioning of public authorities, the conditionality of socio-political, technological development of the country, the role of decentralisation in management. The study addresses issues related to the updating of the content of public service activities in the context of interaction between government and society. The task of the civil service is to implement a purposeful public policy. Unfortunately, in the current era, its implementation in practice may face certain difficulties. The study analyses the current state of modernisation of society and the governing bodies and provides recommendations for improving the mechanisms of decentralisation of power by civil service personnel. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the relevant issue of the modern Ukraine lies with the improvement of the legal regulation of the civil service in the context that the bureaucratisation of professional activities reduces the quality of the management process.
