Current Trends in the Development of Work Ethics and Management in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The values ??and wealth of world civilization are created by human labor. Labor is both an economic category and a moral value. Kazakhstan being among the top 30 developed countries and in consideration of the quest to find a solution to the problems of building an industrial and innovative economy, is among those nations that require the intensification of all types of human labor activity. The purpose, the main directions of research, and the results obtained allow us to interpret in a new way the processes of changes occurring in the value-motivational structures of the culture of work and management in modern Kazakhstan. Theoretical generalizations of the empirical data obtained in the regions of Kazakhstan can serve as the basis for scientific and methodological support for reforms and transformations of the industrial and innovative development of the country as a whole. One of the socially significant types of human activity is managerial work. The problem of management is traditionally one of the topical aspects of many social theories. Training of management personnel, education of “managers of a new formation” has been on the agenda since the day the country gained independence. Kazakhstan is implementing systemic administrative reforms. However, the low efficiency of these transformations is due to the frequent implementation of foreign management styles in an entirely different socio-cultural environment. The research project "Ethics of labor and management in the context of social modernization of Kazakhstan" aimed to study the regional, ethnic-confessional, and gender characteristics of the formation of a new culture of work and management in modern Kazakhstan.
