PECULIARITIES OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES AS SPECIFIC TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS

are inherent in both structural and metho-dological aspects, and determine its administrative and legal specifics. The authors believe that the introduction of foreign management methods in domestic public authorities requires taking into account national traditions and mentality. Two main tasks of organizational culture have been identified: external integration of the organization and internal tolerant ad - aptation of employees. The features of all components of the organizational culture have been determined: legal; political; information and communication; moral, ethical and management culture. It is provided a specific concept of «management activities» in the field of public administration, which is seen as intellectual in nature, and is aimed at the development, adoption and practical implementation of specific management decisions. It is emphasized that in the relevant segments of the management system, which have a decisive influence on the life of society, its employees bear special loads and respon - sibilities. This leads to the fact that their organizational culture has a double meaning: it is aimed at organizing public life and at organizing professionally perfect and state-mature activities of the government apparatus. Of course, the leadership style of a particular organization is also important. It assumes the presence of disciplined employees who clearly follow the orders of their superiors. The professionalism and competence of specialists require psychological knowledge and the ability to communicate with people from different social strata, therefore they carry a certain cultural meaning, which mani-fests itself through everyday transparent communication with citizens – consumers of services.
