The aim of the study was to investigate how the Strategy supports the development of government administration staff based on the methodology of human resource management. The methods of motivation of administration staff are training courses, individual professional development programs, and the remuneration and promotion system. These activities support the institutional efficiency of the state by improving the quality of services in government administration offices and the competences of civil service corps members. The strategy also finds its justification in the implementation of the systemic assumptions of the Civil Service, according to which the civil service corps acts to ensure professional, reliable, impartial and politically neutral performance of the state’s tasks (Article 153).

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the politicization of senior civil service (SCS) in Korea from a human resource perspective. To be specific, it is to explore how much the SCS has been politicized after its inception in 2006 and to discover what has strengthened it.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs the human resource management perspective with five stages, selection, rotation, education, promotion and compensation, which are related with different weights to four causes of politicization: political desire to control, leadership change, public demands and political interest.FindingsThis paper argues that politicization of SCS in Korea has gradually increased during the last 10 years. It also found that, while selection and promotion is strongly politicized, education and compensation is weakly politicized.Originality/valueThis paper mainly draws increasing politicization after it was introduced.

Governmental problems still exist in Japan and Korea even though the two nations have achieved substantial economic and political development in modern times. Such problems include a low ranking in world competitiveness in government and a lack of competency. Furthermore, rigid and closed systems for employment and promotion still prevail without many improvements in human resource management. Recently, both the Japanese and Korean governments have paid serious attention to new challenges such as globalization and informatization. In order to improve competitiveness and competency, both governments have attempted to reform the civil service in more flexible and open manners. Japan and Korea as geographic neighbors have, in general, many similarities, although some may see more differences than similarities. This article cannot provide a full picture of both nations’ governmental problems, but a study of civil service reform is meaningful for improving human resource management in the government of both countries as well as understanding Asian public personnel management.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a number of initiatives which have been spearheaded by the Romanian government in the field of HRM in the civil service. A more specific purpose is to determine the modelling strategy which best reflects the reform programme of HRM in the civil service, the topic of our study.Design/methodology/approachThis paper attempts to supplement existing research into New Public Management (NPM) by outlining the modernisation of a range of public HR functions in the country, and it would like to explain how this special issue arose, to provide a historical perspective for the work undertaken by the Romanian National Civil Servant Agency (NACS) and to outline the context and significance of each of the attempts at modernisation in the HRM field.FindingsEmpirical evidence shows that the centralised Romanian civil service is in need of serious change if it is to deliver a more efficient and less politically driven level of practice. Many external and internal organisational forces such as the demographics of the labour‐force, technology and privatisation – as well as the erosion of confidence in government institutions have drastically altered the environment of the civil service in Romania. Consequently, traditional Human Resource Management (HRM) approaches no longer work.Practical implicationsAt this point, in the authors' opinion, the time has come to devote more attention to decentralisation and to formulating the terms of so‐called best or good practice.Originality/valueThe paper seeks to bridge the gap by reporting on the research and consulting work of the authors in the Romanian civil service.
