• The purpose of the program:

            The purpose of the program: development of a methodological basis for the development of organizational culture in the civil service in the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account the change in the paradigm of public administration

• Objectives:

            Conduct an analysis (SWOT and PEST analysis) of the current system of control over compliance with ethical standards in the civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan; Study the experience of foreign countries in ensuring compliance with ethical standards in the civil service; Assess the socio-economic conditions, cultural and historical factors, the influence of geopolitical aspects on the development of organizational, corporate culture and ethics in the civil service; Develop an algorithm for improving the mechanisms for reforming the organizational ethical culture of civil servants; Develop a set of specialized educational and methodological materials for civil servants of all levels on issues of organizational ethical culture; Develop practical recommendations for further improvement of the organizational culture and ethics of civil servants, taking into account the reform of the public administration system.

• The idea of the project:

            The program is aimed at scientific support of the dynamics of the reforms carried out in the public administration system. The problem that the program is aimed at solving is the insufficient development and weak regulation of ethical standards and organizational culture in the civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Poor regulation and compliance with organizational culture lead to a decrease in the level of discipline and professionalism among civil servants, which directly affects the efficiency of performing official duties. In the modern world, ethical standards and organizational culture are becoming not just desirable elements of public administration, but key tools for improving the quality of management decisions, forming responsibility and accountability of civil servants, and strengthening public trust in government agencies. Without a clearly structured system of control and implementation of ethical standards, any reforms may be ineffective, and citizens’ trust in the state system will be undermined. To implement the program, several complementary approaches will be used to ensure an interdisciplinary study of the problem and the development of effective solutions: legal, sociological, managerial, historical
