In public administration, motivation is a very complex and controversial process that differs from other areas of human activity, because civil servants are primarily
people who manage other people. The main purpose of civil servants is based on solving the tasks of the state in ensuring the welfare of members of society, public interests based on the principles and provisions established by law: the Constitution, basic laws on these issues, other regulations. The effectiveness of the civil service depends on the quality of work of civil servants, which, first of all, depends on the behavior inherent in them. It is necessary to find out what motives drive a person, which stimulates him to perform activities, and which limit, and only then you need to develop a system of motivation that will form the vector that is necessary for the organization. Peculiarities of work motivation in public administration form a special interest, given the level of responsibility that falls on the shoulders of civil servants. The purpose
