State Civil Service"[2] and the "2022-2026 New

adaptability to changes and form new thinking skills.
special attention is paid to the issues.
In this regard, the formation of competence of young
leaders in state administration has become an urgent
issue. This requires developing the innovative thinking
of young personnel and strengthening their ability to
make strategic decisions in solving the problems facing
the state and society.
Literature analysis (review).
The issue of forming the competence of young leaders
in public administration to manage changes is widely
covered in many scientific literatures. In this regard,
international and national scientific studies offer
different approaches to developing the competencies
of young leaders.
For example, scientists such as Bass[4] (1985) and
Burns[5] (1978) analyze the development of leadership
and
management
competencies
through
the
transformational leadership model. They emphasize
that young leaders should be open to innovation,
inspiring and flexible. These approaches form the basis
of the formation of the necessary competencies for
rapid adaptation to the changes faced by leaders in the
current globalization process.
In the context of Uzbekistan, the works of local
researchers such as Muhammadjonova [7] (2019) and
Sobirov [8] (2020) are important in the field of public
administration and personnel training. In their
scientific work, mutual cooperation of young
personnel in public administration, integration of
education and practical experience into public
administration is shown as an important factor. In
particular, in her research[7], Muhammadjonova
emphasizes the need to increase the leadership role of
young personnel in the process of introducing
innovative approaches in public administration. And
Sobirov notes that young leaders should pay attention
to the strategic aspects of decision-making in the
management of changes.
Also, researchers such as Grint[6] (2005) and Yukl[9]
(2013) study different leadership models and their role
in change management. They deeply analyze the
impact of leadership on social factors and emphasize
that leadership competencies depend on the socio-
economic conditions of society. From this point of
view, the ability of young leaders to manage changes is
formed not only by individual characteristics, but also
by their interaction with the social environment.
At the same time, documents adopted within the
framework of national legislation and reforms,
including decrees and decisions of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan, documents such as Action
Strategy, create the main legal basis for increasing the
role of young leaders in the state management system
and developing their competencies. In-depth study of
this process in the experience of Uzbekistan allows to
ensure the effective participation of young leaders in
state management in local conditions.
The analysis of the literature presented above shows
that the interdependence of social factors, leadership
theories and practices is important in forming the
competence of young leaders to manage changes. This
strengthens the scientific and practical basis of paying
great attention to youth in the state administration
system of Uzbekistan.

DISCUSSION
Social factors are of decisive importance in the
formation of the competence of young leaders to
manage changes in public administration, and this
process is connected with a number of factors and
conditions. First of all, the reforms implemented in
Uzbekistan and the adopted legislation are aimed at
strengthening the role of young personnel in the state
administration system. However, many problems are
encountered in this process, in particular, the issue of
fully forming the ability of young leaders to think
strategically and adapt to changes remains relevant.
On the one hand, young leaders have great
opportunities to introduce technology and innovation
into the management process, but on the other hand,
their lack of experience and dependence on traditional
management methods lead them to difficulties in
some cases. Leading change management theories,
including the transformational leadership model, are
seen as an effective approach for young leaders. This
model plays an important role in motivating young
leaders, inspiring the team and finding innovative
solutions. At the same time, it will be necessary to
adapt this theory to the conditions of Uzbekistan.
Social factors, in particular, the education system and
personnel training programs play an important role in
the formation of the competence of young leaders.
The system of personnel training in Uzbekistan is
undergoing serious changes, but it is necessary to
update
special
programs
related
to
public
administration and study international experience
more deeply. Also, one of the main factors affecting
the ability of young leaders to manage changes is the
socio-economic conditions in society and their
interaction with the environment. It is necessary to
increase the ability of young leaders to use social
networks and modern information technologies, as
well as to develop the ability to make innovative
decisions.
At this point, the cooperation of the state and society
is important in forming the competence of young
leaders to manage changes. Taking into account social
factors, increasing the position of young leaders in
public administration, supporting them and creating
ample opportunities for their development will help
make the public administration system more effective
in the future.
Social
factors,
education,
technologies
and
innovations appear as decisive factors in the formation
of the competence of young leaders to manage
changes. Therefore, it is necessary for young leaders to
regularly develop their competencies such as strategic
decision-making, team management and adaptability
to changes. It serves as an important factor for the
success of public administration reforms in Uzbekistan
and ensuring socio-economic development in society.
Formation of the competence of young leaders in
public administration to manage changes is a complex
and multifaceted process, and social factors are an
important part of this process. The reforms and
adopted laws in the conditions of Uzbekistan create a
solid basis for attracting young leaders to public
administration and developing their competencies.
Young leaders can bring new, modern approaches to
public administration by making quick and effective
decisions based on technology and innovation.
However, in order for this process to be successful, it is
necessary to take into account the educational system,
socio-economic conditions and other factors in society

in the formation of strategic thinking, leadership and
flexibility competencies of young leaders. Social
factors play a key role in the formation of management
skills of young leaders, helping them to apply
innovative approaches and adapt to complex changes.
Thus, the development of the ability of young leaders
in public administration to manage changes will serve
as an important factor for increasing the efficiency of
public administration in the future, accelerating socio-
economic development and rapid adaptation to global
changes.
CONCLUSION
In short, the formation of the competence of young
leaders in public administration to manage changes
remains one of the urgent issues for Uzbekistan. As
part of the large-scale reforms implemented in the
country, great attention is paid to the development of
strategic decision-making, innovative thinking and
leadership skills of young leaders. The integration of
the educational system, socio-economic conditions
and technological capabilities is crucial for the
successful implementation of this process. Social
factors play an important role in increasing the
adaptability of young leaders to changes and the ability
to adapt to global trends.
