This study analyzes the social status of civil servants by examining survey data from 10,942 civil servants and conducting 22 expert interviews. The research aims to define the social status of civil servants and analyze the factors influencing this status in Kazakhstan. The findings reveal that, according to international practices, several key factors impact the social status of civil servants. These include economic conditions, public perception and the professional competencies of civil servants. Socioeconomic conditions of civil servants significantly influence how civil servants are perceived and valued in society. Additionally, the behavior of civil servants in public settings and their professional skills play a critical role in shaping their social status. Effective management of these factors can enhance the perception of civil servants and contribute to their social status. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for improving the status and public perception of civil servants in Kazakhstan and beyond.
