In the contemporary context, document circulation constitutes a fundamental component of management processes, information exchange, and the formation of institutional memory. The processes of globalization and digital transformation have significantly restructured document circulation systems, enabling their transition from traditional models to electronic and hybrid configurations. Despite extensive studies on document management, there remains a lack of systematic analysis integrating theoretical, structural, and functional dimensions of document circulation within information-driven organizational environments. This study aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive analytical framework for understanding the evolution and operational logic of document circulation. The research is based on a qualitative analytical methodology, incorporating comparative analysis, systematization, and conceptual modeling of traditional and electronic document management practices. The findings demonstrate that the integration of electronic document management systems enhances organizational efficiency by improving document traceability, reducing processing time, and strengthening information accessibility. Furthermore, the study identifies key structural and regulatory factors influencing document flows and highlights existing challenges related to standardization, interoperability, and digital security. The main contribution of the study lies in the development of a conceptual model for optimizing document circulation within modern management systems. The results suggest that the systematic improvement of document circulation is a critical prerequisite for increasing governance effectiveness and ensuring sustainable information management.
