SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS OF PUBLIC SERVANTS: EXAMINING THE CASES OF THE UK, CANADA, GERMANY, NEW ZEALAND, AND KAZAKHSTAN

Civil servants play a crucial role in the management and functioning of modern society. Their social and economic status reflects not only their well-being but also broader trends in government structures.

This research article examines the socioeconomic status of civil servants in five different countries: Canada, Great Britain, Germany, New Zealand, and Kazakhstan. Through a comparative analysis of policy, practice, and empirical data, this study aims to clarify the factors influencing the status of civil servants, as well as their consequences on the implementation of public policy, the provision of public services, and the development of society.

The purpose of the article is to determine the socioeconomic status of civil servants in five countries: Canada, Great Britain, Germany, New Zealand, and Kazakhstan, as well as to identify job satisfaction.

The results show that civil servants in Canada, Germany, and New Zealand are more likely to be satisfied with their socio-economic status and service in the public service system. Those who work in the civil service in the UK and Kazakhstan are less satisfied with their work in the civil service system. The study also highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by civil servants in each country, emphasizing the importance of context-oriented approaches to enhance their status and promote effective public administration.
