The participants of the study consist of 306 employees of the Republic of Tajikistan's ministry and 384 customers of Tajikistan's governmental organizations who were selected with stratified-random sampling method. In order to analyze the data after the questionnaires' distribution phase, SPSS 18 software was run at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive approach of correlation Parametric Regression of multi-variables was utilized in this study.
