Prawne i organizacyjne uwarunkowania systemu odpowiedzialności członków korpusu służby cywilnej w Polsce

Abstract

Legal and organizational conditions of a system of liability of members of the civil service in Poland The main aim of this article is to present and discuss the fundamental aspects of selected types of liability of the civil service members. Responsibility, as a rule, consists of the use of punitive sanctions i.e. the penalties for violation of: the rules laid down in specific obligation‑imposing laws and regulations, the principles of community life (especially in the context of vague quantifiers like sufficiently good repute) and rules of conduct defined by the concept of dignity of the office. There is no doubt that the possibility of responsibility reflects on the performance of the civil servants. Legal regulations concerning various types of liability are therefore primarily aimed at taking care of the public interest and realization of tasks of the State in accordance with applicable laws. Under the current legal regime governing the sphere of responsibility of the members of the civil service, responsibility/liability can be divided into the following types: disciplinary, criminal, material and financial for a blatant violation of the law or a breach of public finance discipline.
