The article examines current conditions and prerequisites for
the development of project management and contract employment
in the civil service system with a specific view of the Republic of
Kazakhstan experience. Global innovative trends and the Industry 5.0
paradigm have significantly changed approaches to project
management in recent years. The innovative value creation allows
successfully implementing projects, optimizing the costs of time,
money, and human resources, without deviating from the planned
quality of the final product of the project (Malik et al., 2019).
The research implies several methods (retrospective and comparative
analysis, scenario forecasting) to analyze data received from surveys
(10,942 civil servants) and interviews with 24 experts from
governmental and non-governmental organizations. The findings
highlight the main emphasis on improving the quality of human
capital and transitioning to “flexible” management tools. However,
opponents assume that new methods will bring “chaos” to state
apparatus, undermine the foundation of national security, and change
the achieved level of checks and balances. Thus, the proposed
solutions with two scenarios in mind could be a potential benefit or
introduce uncertainty for the country. Based on this assumption,
the article proposes key recommendations for the full implementation
of these new innovative institutions for the Kazakhstani civil service.
