On the Determinants of Certification Commissions of Biased Decisions

The article analyzes the possibility of the influence of the heads of state authorities on the activities of their subordinate attestation commissions. The influence of the head on the members of the attestation commissions can be carried out in two directions: the appointment of persons loyal to him to the collegial body (nepotism) and the threat of creating problems in the service in the future by ignoring the position of the leadership during attestation. Based on the materials of judicial practice, fairly standard errors in the evaluation of employees by attestation commissions are studied, which subsequently led to decisions on the inconsistency of their position and dismissal. The author comes to the conclusion about the high degree of dependence of the members of the attestation commissions and their making of biased decisions in this regard. Thus, the attestation commissions translate and legally formalize the decisions of the head of the public administration body. Proposals are being made on the need for secret voting by members of the commissions in order to minimize possible pressure on them from the leadership of the organization.
