Accession of Ukraine as a candidate to the European community, which now provides large-scale support to Ukraine in the fight against the Russian aggressor, requires updating the basic mechanisms of executive discipline in the public service, such as regulatory, organizational, planning, monitoring, evaluation and quality management. From the point of view of the theory of public administration and Ukraine's transformation processes into European space, it is advisable to expand the classification of the mentioned mechanisms with motivational value, informational and analytical, and digitalization. This will help to consolidate and develop the level of executive discipline in the public service through the self-improvement, self-development and self-fulfilment abilities of public servants.</p><p>Therefore, the key research outcomes are aimed at improving the development of basic mechanisms for ensuring executive discipline in the public service, widely used in European countries. Conclusions and prospects for further research suggest directions of adaptation of European experience in providing mechanisms for the development of the executive discipline in the public service, which is due to the importance of transformational processes of proper democratic governance in Ukraine, introduction of innovative mechanisms to ensure a high level of executive discipline in the multi-level public administration.</p> ER -
