고급공무원의 정책결정능력의 향상방안

Abstract

The involvement of civil servants in formulating public policy is ever expanding. Consequently, in order to effectively respond to rapid changes of the administrative environment, and to resolve the increasing conflicts which are bound to occur in greater frequency among various parties, government administration must be developed to a professional degree. Thus, it is important to restructure policy making processes and to improve the relations with each environmental factor which affects the orderly operation of the overall policy making mechanism. It is even more critical to develop the quality of those civil servants who influence the policy making procedure. In order to realize the above goals, first, government recruiting and staffing systems must be improved to attract and retain competent, capable personnel from the labor market; It is important to develop and preserve a personnel system which is based on the merit principle in order to maintain a high degree of motivation and benefit from the full capacities of employees; Finally, it is imperative to make use of a diverse range of effective training programs, techniques, and operational systems which will equip civil servants with the skills and knowledge necessary to cope with ever increasing administrative demands and develop in them progressive oriented attitudes.
