В Казахстане, где проводятся институциональные реформы, эта проблема рассматривается как стратегический вызов. Хотя конфликт интересов является предшественником коррупции, он создаёт «серые зоны» в работе органов власти. Цель исследования состоит в том, чтобы определить особенности управления конфликтами интересов в Казахстане, проанализировать опыт других стран и предложить эффективные методы предотвращения этих конфликтов. Методология включает сравнительный анализ практик ООН, ОЭСР и TI, 29 экспертных интервью и социологический опрос 10 255 госслужащих. Регрессионный и корреляционный анализ используются для обработки экспериментальных данных. Результаты показывают, что риск конфликта интересов увеличивается из-за слабых институциональных механизмов, неопределенности в понятиях и нехватки обучающих программ. Обновление дефиниций, улучшение практик декларирования и повышение институциональной ответственности включают в себя системный «4-D-подход» (Definition, Drilling, Declaration, Due diligence). Выводы подтверждают необходимость перехода от формально-нормативного подхода к ценностно-ориентированному. Это позволит повысить устойчивость институтов и эффективность антикоррупционной политики в Казахстане.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Conflict of interest in the civil service threatens both the effectiveness of public administration and public trust in state institutions. In Kazakhstan, where institutional reforms are being implemented, this issue is viewed as a strategic challenge. While conflict of interest is a precursor to corruption, it simultaneously creates “grey zones” in the functioning of public authorities. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of conflict-of-interest management in Kazakhstan, analyze international experiences, and propose effective prevention methods. The methodology includes a comparative analysis of UN, OECD, and TI practices, 29 expert interviews, and a sociological survey of 10,255 civil servants. Regression and correlation analysis were applied to process the empirical data. The results demonstrate that the risk of conflict of interest increases due to weak institutional mechanisms, conceptual ambiguities, and insufficient training programs. Updating definitions, improving declaration practices, and strengthening institutional accountability are embedded within the systemic “4-D approach” (Definition, Drilling, Declaration, Due diligence). The findings confirm the need to shift from a purely formal-normative approach to a values-based approach. This transition will enhance the resilience of institutions and the effectiveness of anti-corruption policy in Kazakhstan.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>этика на государственной службе</kwd><kwd>конфликт интересов</kwd><kwd>антикоррупционная политика</kwd><kwd>институциональные механизмы</kwd><kwd>декларация активов</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ethics in civil service</kwd><kwd>conflict of interest</kwd><kwd>anti-corruption policy</kwd><kwd>institutional mechanisms</kwd><kwd>asset declaration</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Transparency International.
