The role of the humanities Knowledge in shaping the strategic thinKing of civil servants

Abstract

The article examines the role of the humanities knowledge in shaping the strategic thinking of civil servants amid the transformation of the public administration system. A humanities-based education is a key factor in the development of professional competencies among management personnel. This type of education encompasses philosophical, ethical, and cultural studies. This study examines the relationship between the level of humanities education that employees have received and their ability to engage in long-term planning, critical analysis, and make well-considered management choices.The authors place particular emphasis on communicative competence as a component of strategic thinking and on the spiritual and moral development of civil servants. They also highlight the importance of conceptual clarity regarding basic ethical categories. The results obtained make it possible to suggest new ways of integrating the humanities knowledge into personalized educational pathways using innovative adaptive learning technologies. The study shows that there’s a need for a well-planned, humanitarian approach to the ongoing professional training of state and municipal employees as a key management goal. This is even more important in the context of digital transformation in the civil service.
