This article reveals the basic principles of responsibility and sense of duty research, which may underlie the professional characteristics of government civil servants. The article examines the views of sociologists (M. Weber, E. Durkheim, T. Parsons, J. Habermas, R. Merton, P. Bourdieu, P. Sorokin, A. Giddens, W. Beck, M. Crozier) on the concepts of responsibility and sense of duty, as well as theoretical approaches to their interpretation through the prism of the sociology of professions and the sociology of management. The study reveals the limitations of the existing value base of the civil service, which is represented by professionalism, competence, honesty and impartiality, and emphasizes the need to integrate the values of responsibility and a sense of duty as independent professional characteristics. Based on the analysis of key concepts of classical and modern sociology, the author's definitions of these categories are proposed, as well as their role in improving the effectiveness of public service and strengthening trust in public institutions.
Keywords:state civil service, responsibility, sense of duty, values of civil servants, sociology of professions, sociology of management.
