The study examines the place of behavioural economics in the structure of economic science and the practice of state regulating. The thesis that neoclassicism is an appropriate normative approach for analysing human behaviour is defended but the comparative advantages are on the side of behavioural economics in the answers of descriptive, diagnostic, prognostic and perspective issues. It tracks the historical roots, the ideas of behavioural economics for the limited rationality, will and egoism are presented in short as well as the contribution of behavioural approach to the state’s intervention ideology and practice. The libertarian paternalism idea and its role for the transformation of ‘a state of wealth’ into the ‘new paternalistic state’ that is increasingly gaining clear outlines are presented.

: The competence approach has become an integral part of the personnel management system of organizations. In improving the quality of civil servants’ work, there is a qualified and competent level of public service employees. This paper presents an analysis of the situation in civil service management, outlines the problems of managing the competencies of civil servants. Within the framework of the survey, more than 365 civil servants were interviewed, from the specialist to the head of the department. The most popular competencies among civil servants have been singled out. This is general professional, normative-legal, competence of effectiveness and efficiency of work. The groups of competences ‘management of changes’, ‘self-management and professional growth’ turned out to be the least in demand. Respondents also noted a high need for updating their professional knowledge. However, the problem of knowledge sharing persists, when the knowledge received by employees is better expressed at conferences, but is mostly reserved for personal use only and is not recorded on any media. The set of competencies will allow to describe the labour behaviour, which is required for the successful performance of work in a given position or for a group of similar posts, accurately enough. The ontological approach to assessing the competencies of civil servants will link the task of assessing competencies through the transformation of a query into a set of terms and concepts with specific needs of the project, the planned task or the function performed. The creation of a decision support system to ensure that the competencies of civil servants meet the requirements of labour functions on the basis of mathematical methods will allow the personnel service to efficiently recruit employees for vacant positions in a state organization.
