Implementing Project Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article highlights the importance of implementing project management within the framework of modern public administration reform concepts, specifically New Public Management (NPM), Responsive Governance, and Good Governance.
The paper presents findings of a survey conducted among civil servants in Kazakhstan regarding the adoption of a project-based approach in public administration system. The study's results indicate that civil servants are increasingly recognizing the value of project management as an effective tool for enhancing public administration efficiency. Over 40% of respondents are aware of the need for a project-based approach and are open to learning, which suggests favourable conditions for scaling up such initiatives.
However, a significant proportion of neutral responses underscores the need for additional informational, educational, and training efforts, alongside strengthened institutional support, to foster a robust project culture in the public sector.
The author also utilized content analysis of regulatory acts, strategic and conceptual documents, various analytical reports, and a survey of civil servants to inform this study.
Keywords: public administration, government agency, civil servant, project management, agile, service model of the state.
