DOI: https://doi.org/Since HRM ensures the efficacy, efficiency, and flexibility of public institutions, it plays a vital role in forming public administration. Restructuring the public sector to be more transparent, meritocratic, and efficient has been largely dependent on HRM reforms in post-socialist European nations, to which Ukraine also belongs. However, political forces, institutional inertia, and other factors frequently impede these change processes, and these processes find their reflection, naturally, in the vision of public servants’ competence. Based on the application of narrative review method, the article demonstrates key imbalances in competency-based approach in public administration organizations’ HRM, within country-specific base. Particular attention, among other issues, is paid to performance management as a concept adopted in public administration system. It is emphasized that Ukrainian scholarly field does not contain deep and detailed studies concerning the ways to enhance competency-based approach in public management HRM, despite severe threats to national security in the wartime. The summarizing of reviewed literature findings allowed stating the need for systemic approach paradigm should be used to build new competencies, taking into account both internal and external influences, particularly the growing national security discourse.
