O prawnych i pozaprawnych powodach odstąpienia od publicznoprawnego modelu służby cywilnej

The article explores reasons of the abandonment by the Polish legislator of the public law model of the civil service. The discussed reasons were classified into two categories: normative and non-normative premises. The first group discusses the impact of international law on the activities of the Polish legislator and the disproportionately large number of publications on the doctrine of labor law as compared to the administrative law. In the second category, three groups of impact on the legislator’s activities are discussed, i.e. the political perspective (here: systemic, point-based, and episodic impact), clerical, and social perspectives. In conclusion, a return to public-law solutions is proposed.
