Abstract

With the acquisition of independence, the Head of State attaches special importance to the formation of a professional and effective apparatus of civil servants, which is a necessary condition for the socio-economic development and prosperity of the country. The strategy “Kazakhstan - 2030”, adopted in 2012 became a basis for the formation of the professional staff of civil servants.
Currently, as a result of targeted reforms, a highly efficient Kazakhstan model of public service has been created, based on the principles of meritocracy and accountability to civil society.
According to OECD estimates, a professional-strategic state apparatus has been formed in Kazakhstan, which has been achieved through consistent reforms in the public service, such as switching to a career model, introducing a new wage system, optimizing business processes of state bodies and their subordinate organizations [1] .
The next stage is the task of transition to an innovative civil service. Innovations in government include quick and adaptive responses, continuous learning, mobility and autonomy of the state apparatus.
In order to move to innovative model, a number of measures are targeted.
Thus, the approaches to the selection and hiring of civil servants have been revised, the practice of compulsory essay writing for the management unit has been introduced, a labor remuneration system has been tested in four government agencies based on a factor-scale remuneration.
The measures will allow to gradually move to a new wage system by searching for internal reserves in all government agencies since 2019.
In OECD countries, in addition to increased wages, employees are provided with a substantial social package. The same approach to increase the social security of civil servants is considered in Kazakhstan, including the introduction of preferential housing and pensions, the creation of conditions for recovery, the active use of the initiative of the Head of State "7-20-25" [2].
Within the framework of this article, the measures taken to improve the civil service system in Kazakhstan, which will positively affect the integrity of public servants, are presented. There are also problems of social differentiation in terms of the standard of living between public servants, on the one hand, and employees of business structures and ways to solve them. The essence of social technology is revealed as one of the positive ways to influence civil servants.
