Abstract
In the modern socio-economic and political space, the phenomenon called social programming gained popularity. In order to clarify its nature and significance for the theory and practice of management in the public sector, we refer to the etymology of the concept of "programming", which roots come from Greek ("pro" – in advance, before and "Gramma" – write, mark). Hence its manifestation in the noun "program", which means "prescription", "notice", "work plan, action plan... main tasks and objectives of the political party, public organization, public figure, etc.... short presentation of the contents of a subject...". In its development, the concept of "programming" in its classic form is established in mathematics as a set of methods to create an algorithm of work of electronic computing machine... a comprehensive computational process that aims at optimizing the mathematical expression in certain mathematical conditions. Applicable in its varieties of linear programming (method for finding the maximum or minimum of linear limiting function in the presence of linear restrictive conditions) and non-linear programming (set of mathematical methods for determining the largest and the smallest value of the nonlinear functions in the presence of restrictive conditions), in the modern world of information technology this concept is key to the computer field (identified with coding). Moreover, in its broad interpretation, the term «programming» is associated with a range of actions in writing, which express prediction, foreshadowing, warning, statement, proclamation, prescription, command.
