The thesis presents a solution to a topical scientific problem, which consists in substantiating a set of conceptual provisions for the functioning and development of personnel management in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and developing proposals for its improvement in the practice of public administration in Ukraine. The methodological contours of the concept ‘personnel management in the system of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine’ are defined, which are understood by the author as the complex of decisions and actions for the formulation and implementation of human resources strategy to ensure the efficient use and development of the personnel of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine as a strategic resource for achieving the objectives of territorial integrity protection, state security and performance of assigned tasks.

The regularities of the system genesis process of personnel management are established, in particular, the institutional dependence of personnel management on its forms and methods, which contributes to the unification of organizational forms of personnel management at its various levels; unity of methodological bases for personnel management analysis, which reflect interrelations and dependencies of approaches, techniques, ways and methods of personnel management in all subordinate and interacting bodies and systems; maintaining the proportionality and optimal ratio of all elements in the personnel management system; unity and subordination of efficiency criteria for personnel management.
As a result of theoretical interpretation and empirical operationalisation of the problem of personnel management development, a conceptual model of personnel management in the system of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has been developed, which is based on the implementation of standards for professional conduct and certification of personnel and is aimed at ensuring the development of deterrence capacity as a priority to ensure the appropriate level of national security, based on which approaches to personnel management of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine are specified, in particular, diagnostic tools for monitoring personnel processes are proposed.
