The article is devoted to the current issue of preventing and solving civil servants’ conflicts of interest. The arising conflict of interest requires a civil servant to choose appropriate behavior consistent with the requirements of anti-corruption legislation. Otherwise, the incorrect choice may lead to corruption offenses since private interests will prevail over public ones. The article analyzes the concept that the social role of the “civil servant” is considered the prevailing or “titular” for the civil servant. The study involved conducting surveys (questionnaires) with civil servants responsible for preventing corruption and other offenses, and the goal was to find issues related to the diversity of social roles among civil servants. The author proposes measures aimed at minimizing situations where civil servants incorrectly rank their social roles in the context of public administration. These include educational activities and the preparation of methodological materials that provide specifics of a public body with concrete and transparent examples.
