The Government

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.

Institutional Efficiency

The subject of this study is the issue of modern human resource management in the civil service in government administration offices. The basis of government administration human resources management are public service motivation (PSM) supported by the Human Resource Management Strategy in the Civil Service until 2020. 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).
