Civil servants in local and district (regional) self-government units, while performing their duties and according to their assignment to a post, must comply with rules of service and proceed in accordance with legal provisions and other legal acts in order to ensure meeting the needs and requirements of citizens as end users of public services. Provided that civil servants in self-government units violate their official duties while performing their assigned ones (meaning rights, obligations and responsibilities they have while rendering those services), the issue of responsibility for the same violation is raised, i.e. the issue of disciplinary liability in order to ensure lawful conduct of civil servants and maintain the reputation and honour of the public service. Responsibilities of civil servants in self-government units of the Republic of Croatia are regulated by the Act on Civil Servants and Employees in Local and Regional Self-Government of 2008. The responsibility cannot be established partially or just for some. To be more specific, not only those who perform work – employees and the employer can be held responsible, but also all other social institutions of public and national character. One should start with a fact to always and everywhere ensure a rational organisation of work, define every workplace, respect all professions equally and avoid formalism in safety at work. Disciplinary liability and its formation in other countries show differences in the approach of disciplinary liability formation for civil servants in the public sector. However, they all have one thing in common which is using means of disciplinary proceedings to try to motivate civil servants to perform their duties responsibly and therefore gain trust in their work and the work of the entire administration. In theory, the term responsibility is mainly used within the meaning of bearing the consequences for one's actions (by action or inaction).
