Improving the System of Public Administration in the Russian Federation: Problems and Prospects
Abstract
The subject of the study is the state management of the socio-economic development of the country. The purpose of the work is to establish promising areas for improving public management based on a comprehensive methodology combining normative and positive analyses, institutional and systemic approaches. The empirical basis of the study was statistical data, regulatory legal acts, and materials from government agencies. A series of in-depth interviews with government officials has been conducted. The main dysfunctions of public administration have been identified: insufficient flexibility and adaptability, weak interdepartmental coordination, a shortage of qualified personnel, and a low level of innovation. Priority measures to solve these problems are substantiated through the transition to matrix management structures, the introduction of agile approaches, the formation of a system of continuing education for civil servants, the creation of digital platforms for interaction between the state, business and citizens. The obtained research results allow us to adapt the theory of public administration to the Russian realities. The proposed recommendations can be used in the development of administrative reforms, strategies and programs. It is concluded that it is necessary to continue the search for optimal management models in the face of instability challenges.
