Abstract

In modern conditions, research related to the assessment of the effectiveness of local self-government bodies is very relevant. The demand for monitoring and analysis of efficiency of activity of local governments is the possibility to determine the correctness and effectiveness of chosen activities. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the methodology, namely in the use of an interdisciplinary approach to this problem, based on the use of a set of economic, sociological and statistical techniques and methods. The article reveals the role and significance of the average monthly accrued salary of employees (one of the main indicators of the standard of living of the population at the municipal level) from the position of an indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of local self-government bodies in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The author presents an analysis of the trend, level and degree of wage differentiation in various areas. In the study using correlation analysis identified a medium link between satisfaction with public activities of the head of the municipality and the level of wage workers (according to the municipal statistics).    The author suggests ways to improve the existing methodology for assessing the effectiveness of local self-government bodies. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to include in the system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of local self-government performance criteria for wage differentiation (the scope of variation, the coefficient of funds of the coefficient of variation). It is also necessary to clarify the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of local self-government bodies in terms of the criteria for satisfaction of the population with the activities of the head of the municipality, mainly in relation to indicators of the level and quality of life of its population.
