RISK-ORIENTED THINKING IN THE SYSTEM OF MAKING AND IMPLEMENTING PUBLIC MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

Abstract

The article explores the theoretical and methodological principles of the formation and implementation of risk-oriented thinking in the public administration system. The feasibility of rethinking traditional approaches to risk management through the transition from purely instrumental risk management to a more complex cognitive approach is substantiated, which involves the integration of risk assessment into the process of making managerial decisions. It is determined that risk-oriented thinking is an important component of the modern managerial paradigm focused on ensuring the quality of functioning of state institutions. The content of risk-oriented thinking is revealed as an intellectual activity aimed at the systematic perception, analysis and interpretation of managerial processes, taking into account potential deviations, uncertainties and opportunities. Attention is focused on the fact that within public administration, the objects of such thinking are not only the functions of the state, but also specific actions, operations and algorithms for their implementation, which form the dynamic context of managerial activity. It is proved that the introduction of risk-oriented thinking is associated with the need to structure management processes, determine the criteria for their evaluation and form a system of quality indicators. At the same time, the complexity of formalizing the qualitative aspects of management activities is emphasized, in particular those related to the search for optimal management decisions in conditions of uncertainty. It is concluded that the development of risk-oriented thinking in the public administration system contributes to increasing the validity of decisions, enhancing the adaptability of management processes and the formation of a proactive approach to the implementation of state functions. The results obtained can be used to further improve the theoretical and applied principles of quality management in the public sector.
