Abstract

The research is aimed at developing ideas and approaches to the implementation of the city manager model in modern Russian conditions. The research focuses on professionalization of municipal management, the practice of contractual hiring of city managers. There has recently been the acute controversy whether it is appropriate to implement the "city manager" model in modern Russian conditions, as there are cases of conflict interactions in political practice with the participation of a city manager. to the current study aimed to determine whether it is possible to balance interests and level conflict risks while optimizing the system for selecting and retaining professional personnel in municipalities. In order to answer this question we carried out a qualitative analysis of modern domestic and foreign studies, selected with the principle of scientific sources differentiation, as well as an expert survey of the heads of local authorities (582 experts from 76 regions of the Russian Federation), which made it possible to eliminate the "gap" between the theoretical substantiation models of a city manager in scientific literature and its real application in modern conditions. As a result of the study, the advantages and disadvantages of the "city manager" model were found, and the key mechanisms for reducing conflict risks during its implementation were identified. Based on the results obtained, we developed recommendations for changing the practice of hiring a city manager, which will eliminate the element of competition and confrontation in his interactions with the Head of the municipality, defining the hierarchical statuses of the two key figures of the municipality.

俄罗斯城市管理者:利益平衡还是冲突风险?
该研究旨在发展在现代俄罗斯条件下实施城市管理者模式的思想和方法。研究的重点是城市管理的专业化,合同聘用城市管理者的做法。最近,在现代俄罗斯的条件下是否适合实施“城市管理者”模式引起了激烈的争议,因为在城市管理者参与的政治实践中存在冲突互动的情况。本研究旨在确定是否有可能在优化城市专业人员选拔和保留制度的同时平衡利益和降低冲突风险。为了回答这个问题,我们对现代国内外研究进行了定性分析,选择了科学来源区分的原则,以及对地方当局负责人(来自俄罗斯联邦76个地区的582名专家)的专家调查,这使得有可能消除科学文献中城市管理者的理论证实模型与其在现代条件下的实际应用之间的“差距”。研究发现了“城市管理者”模式的优缺点,并确定了其实施过程中降低冲突风险的关键机制。根据所获得的结果,我们提出了改变聘用城市经理做法的建议,这将消除他与市政首脑互动中的竞争和对抗因素,确定市政当局两个关键人物的等级地位。
