Abstract

A study has been conducted on the legislative support for the digitalization of personnel management as a tool for modernizing the civil service. The focus is placed on the importance of information and communication technologies in the processes of recruitment, hiring, training, and performance evaluation of employees, which contributes to the optimization of managerial decisions and enhances the transparency of the activities of government bodies. As a result of analyzing regulatory acts and scientific articles, the need for developing regulatory support for the implementation of digitalization in personnel management within public administration has been established. The significance of digital technologies is emphasized not only for automating processes but also for creating new opportunities in the field of personnel management. The article states that at this stage, projects are already being implemented in Ukraine that contribute to the introduction of information systems, such as HRMIS, which is an important element in the development of a digital state. At the same time, issues related to the fragmentation of regulatory acts are discussed, which complicates the implementation of new technologies. Recommendations have been provided for creating a single legislative act that would regulate the functioning of digitalization in personnel management within public administration, which, in turn, will help avoid legal conflicts and improve management efficiency. Additionally, the necessity of systematic training and upskilling of personnel in the field of digital technologies is justified to ensure the successful execution of modernization processes. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the legislative aspect of digitalization in personnel management is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of public administration, fostering transparency and accountability in the activities of government bodies, as well as developing highly qualified personnel in the civil service.
