IMPROVING THE SYSTEM OF MOTIVATION OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The motivation system of civil servants is quite relevant today since it directly affects the quality of public services provided to citizens. Civil servants are responsible for carrying out government functions and implementing policies that affect the lives of millions of people.

Motivation is crucial to ensure that government employees are focused, productive, and accountable in their work. A well-thought-out motivation system can help attract and retain talented people in public service while contributing to the effectiveness of public service delivery.

Without the creation of a competitive civil service, it is impossible to achieve the main goal - building a prosperous Kazakhstan, and radically improving the efficiency of government agencies is impossible without creating an effective motivation system in the professional activities of civil servants. The motivation system for civil servants is a crucial factor in improving the overall efficiency and accountability of the public sector. By ensuring the motivation, commitment, and accountability of public servants, we can create a more effective public service that meets the needs of citizens and contributes to the development of our societies.

The purpose of the study is to improve the motivation system of civil servants, and the Office of the Akim of Atyrau region was considered as the object and subject of the study, as well as factors affecting the motivation of civil servants and the development of an effective motivation system that increases their work efficiency and accountability, formed the basis of the subject of the study. The scientific novelty of the research is aimed at providing a comprehensive understanding of the motivation system of civil servants and its impact on their work efficiency and accountability. The study used mixed-method approaches combining qualitative and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data from various sources, including document analysis.
