Subject and purpose of work: This study explores the role of motivation in enhancing the performance and satisfaction of civil servants, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s public administration reform and EU integration. Materials and methods: The research employs a mixed-method approach, including policy analysis, review of international practices, and synthesis of theoretical models related to motivation in the public sector. Results: The study identifies financial incentives, career development, and social protections as key drivers of motivation, and highlights the need for a coordinated strategy that aligns employee interests with institutional goals. Conclusions: By integrating global experience with Ukraine’s national context, this paper offers a practical framework for designing effective motivational policies in the civil service, contributing to long-term administrative efficiency.
