Personnel Headcounts Evaluation: Its Influences on Civil Service Management and Deployment
Yue-Chang Lue*
Abstract
In connection with the organization reform of the Executive Yuan whose main point is staff reduction, Personnel Headcounts Evaluation (PHE) serves not only as a technical procedure but also as a change agent that will influence the work, size, and even sense of duty of government employees. PHE plays a more important role in influencing personnel management and deployment than just a technical change. This paper argues that PHE can be developed as an integration mechanism to motivate performance and improve the competence of civil service. Besides, PHS can bring positive effects -- by integrating different actions and goals of a government agency, as well as by motivating self innovation and development of civil service.
Keywords: Personnel Headcounts Evaluation (PHE), civil service management, organization reform
