The relevance of the study of organizational culture in public authorities in the context of digitalization is to determine the impact of the latest technologies on the cultural aspects of management. The article analyzes the key theoretical approaches to the study of organizational culture, in particular, value, systemic, and interpretive approaches. The evolution of views on the nature and role of organizational culture is considered. The author's vision of the essence of organizational culture as a mechanism for adapting the organization to the external environment and ensuring its internal unity is proposed. The key functions of organizational culture in modern conditions - innovative, communicative and integrative - are analyzed. The influence of such factors as decentralization reform, public control, and digitalization on organizational culture in government bodies is studied. The latter is considered to be one of the most important factors that determines the need to adapt the organizational culture. The author concludes that it is necessary to transform organizational culture in accordance with the needs of digitalization in order to increase the efficiency, openness and accountability of public authorities.
