The focus is on the analysis of the possible impact of the management system on the development of regions. The key problem is the poor consideration of socio-humanitarian knowledge in assessing the characteristics of the socio- economic development of regions. As a basis for the analysis of interregional inequality, regions located at different levels of sociocultural modernization were considered. The impact assessment was carried out in two directions: firstly, through the analysis of public assessments of the effectiveness of the management system itself, which is considered as a system of relations between its main subjects (authorities, the media, public organizations, scientific and educational institutions, the population); secondly, by analyzing the state of individual areas of socio-economic activity of the regions. Based on the results of the study, the hypothesis about the influence of the management system on the state of development of the regions was confirmed. It is noted that the belonging of the region to a specific level of socio-cultural development affects the overall assessment of the state of the management system in the region. However, this effect is linear-nonlinear. It is most pronounced for regions with a low level of development, i.e. the lower the level of socio-cultural modernization of the region, the stronger the connection with the assessment of the effectiveness of the management system. The obtained results allow reaching larger generalizations and conclusions that characterize the general state of adjustability of social inequalities.
