Based on the analysis of modern concepts of economic space, this concept is justified as a scientific category of regional economy, and the conclusion about the need for its use in regional economic research is substantiated. The economic space is structured into functional subsystems, the totality of which determines the processes of formation and development of the economic space. The necessity of reducing the heterogeneity of the economic space is indicated. Ap pl i c at i o n a re a . Scientific research of regional economy and economic policy of regional authorities. C on c lu s i on s . The modern regional science developed several conceptual approaches to a research of economic space, each of which offers the differentiated view of the nature, essence and functions of economic space that is reflection of internal complexity of a phenomenon of economic space. There is a requirement of further scientific research of economic space and formation of integration approach to a research of economic space of the region.

S u b j e ct . Socio economic processes and factors affecting the efficiency of functioning of territories of advanced development. Methodology for assessing the efficiency of functioning of territories of advanced development. Theme . Determination of trends and problems in the functioning of territories of advanced development and development of methodological tools for assessing the efficiency of functioning of territories of advanced development. O b j e c t ive s . Characteristics of special preferential territories in the Russian Federation, analysis of trends and problems of their development, volumes of invested investment resources, improvement of the methodology for assessing the efficiency of functioning of territories of advanced development. M et h o d o lo g y. To study the state of knowledge of the problem of assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of territories of advanced development, general scientific methods were used, such as generalization, synthesis and analysis of the accumulated scientific results in terms of the creation and functioning of these territories in the Russian Federation. A systematic approach was applied to the analysis of the collected material using methods of comparison and generalization. To build the author’s methodology for assessing the effectiveness of PSEDA on the basis of a tiered system of indicators, a combination of the resource - functional and facet method was used, the combination of which allows identifying problem areas in the functioning of the PSEDA, making the necessary management decisions, and also making the indicator system open for continuing research in this area. R e s u lt s . The article provides a characteristic of special preferential territories in the Russian Federation, an analysis of their development, which showed an annual and active growth in the number of TASED, their residents, the amount of investment resources invested, and the number of jobs. The positive results and problems in the functioning of the PSEDA have been identified. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of PSEDA located on the territory of single industry municipalities (IMO), which has a comprehensive nature, taking into account the multidimensional features of the functioning of these territories, which allows timely information to be received for making managerial decisions, to monitor the activities of PSEDA. A ppl ic at ion a r e a. The sphere of management of socio economic development at the meso level. C on c lu s i on s . The creation of preferential territories, especially in problem regions with a single industry structure of the economy, contributes to an increase in investment attractiveness, an increase in the employment rate of the population, and social stability in the regions. The identified problems in the functioning of the territories of advanced development are associated with non - compliance with the deadlines for the creation and modernization of infrastructure, a low level of development of private investments, insufficient efficiency in attracting residents, a large share of budget expenditures. Timely identification of these problems is facilitated by the assessment and monitoring of the effectiveness of the PSEDA. The proposed author’s methodology for assessing the effectiveness of PSEDA has a complex nature, taking into account the multifaceted features of the functioning of these territories, allows you to timely obtain a vast amount of data for making management decisions, monitor the activities of PSEDA for compliance with the stated goals and financial feasibility of budget expenditures.

Motivation plays a significant role in the process of professional adaptation of civil servants. The study of motivational factors of persons planning a career in the civil service structure who previously did not have the status of officials made it possible to clarify their motivational expectations and compare them with the motivational factors of civil servants undergoing the stage of secondary adaptation, i.e., who have undergone dynamic changes in their careers directly in the structure of the civil service. The imperfection of existing motivational programs actualizes the problems of operational solutions to issues of transparency of personnel management, remuneration not only in the long term (for years of service) and digitalization of work processes to optimize document flow.

Human resources management is aimed at solving the main problems facing the organization in this area. The most important and challenging task in this area is to ensure the effectiveness of the organization’s personnel. The importance of this task is explained by the fact that the effectiveness of staff is the basis for the effective functioning of any organization. he relevance of the problem of managing the efficiency of labor of scientific and pedagogical workers of educational institutions of higher education is explained by the formation of postindustrial societies, accompanied by increased global competition in all markets, including the education market. These processes are accompanied by increased requirements for the quality of educational services from both applicants / students and the state and business.The management of the effectiveness of the work of scientific and pedagogical workers is based on a management mechanism, which is a set of ways to influence its level by the management of an educational organization. The aim of the system for managing the efficiency of labor of scientific and pedagogical workers is to achieve normative or higher indicators of educational and scientific activity. Achieving the goals of the management system becomes possible after solving the tasks set for this system.

S u b j e ct . A set of legal norms regulating public - service relations. Public - service relations are one of the elements of the subject of legal regulation of administrative law. Top i c . Determining the place of legal norms regulating public relations related to public service in the system of Russian law in General and the structure of administrative law in particular.P u r p o s e. Characteristics of the type of legal norms regulating public - service relations. M e t h o d o l o g y. The systematic method, the method of analysis, and the formal legal method allow us to achieve our goals: to characterize the selected set of legal norms and its place in the legal system. R e s u l t s . The sub - branch of the civil service includes the legal institutions of the civil service, military service, and other types of public service. Legal norms regulating relations in the sphere of state civil service are also part of the complex branch of service law. Service law is a complex branch of law, since its norms are borrowed from several main branches: constitutional, administrative, and labor. Military service relations, which are subject to the regulation of the legal Institute of the same name, have features characteristic of all administrative and legal relations: a high degree of authority and efficiency, unquestioning military obedience, increased responsibility for offenses, the most operational and dynamic nature. Civil service of other types occupies an intermediate position between the civil service and the military, since its tasks and strict discipline are similar to the military service, and the possibility of applying labor legislation to employees is similar to the civil service. A p p l i c a t i o n a r e a . Sphere of legal regulation of public - service relations. C on c lu s ion s . Administrative law is one of the largest branches in the Russian legal system, so we can rightly say that it includes sub - branches, one of which is the sub - branch of the civil service. In turn, this sub - sector includes three major legal institutions: civil service, military service, and other types of public service.

Trends in the globalization of the economy, as well as the current epidemiological crisis, have caused a stir in the discussion of the topic of remote work. The article discusses the key problems of adaptation of employees who have chosen freelance or remote form of activity in the organization; a multi - level model of adaptation of a remote worker is presented, including levels: individual and two institutional: the level of educational organizations and the level of the employing organization. Recommendations for the management of distributed teams are formulated, aimed at maintaining and optimizing the adaptation processes of remote workers.

Determination of the role and place of pedagogical control in the competence - oriented approach to education.M et ho d olo g y. Methods of system analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature and research carried out by the authors in Russian universities. R e s u l t s . Based on the analysis and assessment of control in a competence - oriented approach, it was revealed that the effectiveness of control depends on many factors, including technologies for organizing the educational process, style and teaching methods, the level of teacher training, etc. A p p l i c a t i o n a r e a . Educational process. C o n c l u s i o n s . Thus, the conducted research has shown that the role and place of control in the educational process is extremely high and significant. The requirements for pedagogical control are especially increasing when the learning environment changes and new forms and methods are introduced, in particular, the use of the distance education system. The authors have systematized the methods and defined the technology for controlling key competencies for training a highly qualified specialist with a competence - oriented approach to education, and also concretized some features of the construction of the educational process, monitoring its results in the distance education system.
