Principles of Social Management as a Factor in Minimizing Political Risks in Decision Making

The study draws conclusions from the analysis of the political risks of state power at the present stage of Russia’s development. The socio-political principles of management are analyzed, which are connected and interact with a group of organizational and technological mechanisms of political decision-making, which are integral elements of their common system of public administration. Organizational and technological mechanisms reflect the patterns of social management that are associated with the implementation of its organizational and technical functions and the minimization of political risks. They play an important role in creating the basis for the formation of managerial relations, determining essentially the distribution of power, the degree of centralization of the power of managers and the degree of real independence of the governed. Violation of these principles leads to political risks: unjustified fragmentation of the functions of management bodies, violation of the balance of rights and responsibilities of managers, increased demands on the managed and the unreasonableness of decisions. The peculiarities of personnel policy after the presidential elections of Russia are revealed. Proposals are made on mechanisms of social management based on the principles of social justice, as well as the use of existing potential based on the principles of decision-making and its justification in the context of political risks. The connection between the general picture of the world existing in culture and the way of attitude to the category of power in the public consciousness is substantiated.
