This article explores the fate of one of the little-known but highly erudite economists and philosophers in Bulgaria - Assoc. Prof. Benjamen Israel Varon Ph.D. The author presents Varon’s research in the development of socialism before 1989 in the country and in Europe, the role of the socialist and social-democratic parties play in it, and the reasons for socialism’s subsequent demise.

: 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.
