Summary/Abstract: One of the most important factors of the work quality of an administration is its personnel structure. Accordingly, all modern states give substantial attention to proper selection of personnel and their constant education and professional development. Administrative personnel consist of all employees who perform duties and tasks in administrative bodies. Just as there is no single definition of the term civil servant so the term is not uniform in the legislative practice. According to legal regulation in the Republic of Serbia, all personnel in public administration can be classified into government officials, civil servants, and other employees (without the civil servant status). In addition, different classifications of civil servants are possible. With different possible definitions and classifications of civil servants, we conclude that it is desirable to utilize the term civil servant as defined in legal regulations of individual states, because it is impossible to provide a single, generalized definition of a civil servant valid for all, but different, legal systems and for one legal system in a different time.
