Vacancy Rates

It is the purpose of this paper to assess empirically the extent to which public sector pay rates closely track the private sector in response to cyclical changes in the economy, as measured by the rate of inflation and labour vacancy rates; and to determine whether the introduction of collective bargaining in the public sector has altered this relationship in any significant way.

The Impact

This study carried out by the Department of Labour in 2007/08 aims to assess whether there have been any significant changes in the coverage of collective bargaining that can be attributed to the Employment Relations Act 2000. The research draws on administrative data relating to union membership and collective bargaining coverage, as well as qualitative data from employers, employees, union representatives and other employment relations stakeholders. The research shows that collective bargaining has yet to regain pre Employment Relations Act levels. Collective bargaining remains concentrated in the public sector, with low density in the private sector. The study concludes that the effects of the Act on collective bargaining are chiefly observed in the recovery of collective bargaining in the public sector, and the continued decline (in general) in the private sector. The research offers no indications that these patterns will change.

The evolution of artificial intelligence boosts its usage in the private sector, however the public administration seems to lag behind. This paper intends to identify the advantages and potential challenges for the implementation of the artificial intelligence in the public sector. The practical value of this paper lies in the fact that becomes a useful tool for decision makers that aim to adopt this technology in public organizations.

Reduction Of Costs

Abstract Currently, corruption has been so generalized and sophisticated that threatens to undermine the own society structure. Corruption is a problem identified in all the countries. What changes is how we deal with it. Nevertheless, why is there so much corruption? Within the group of factors, it is possible to highlight the high bureaucracy that reduces the efficiency of the public administration; the presence of a slow Judiciary Branch which is very low is terms of efficiency, when reprimanding illicit practices that incite everything ending up in pizza (this sentence was literally translated from Portuguese, it does not exist in English, but it means that impunity prevails in Brazil.); the existence of a corporatist sense among the Administration industries in the public sector in relation to the private sector and so facilitating corruption. The penalty for corruption should be constrained to mechanisms that allow the system of criminal justice to carry out actions of arrest, prosecution, penalty and repair to the country. Combating corruption complies with the republican ideal for the reduction of costs in Brazil. Moralizing the public-private relations offers juridical security to the market. The fact that some countries, especially Brazil, are seriously combating against corruption brings hope, with an eye on a more rigid legislation and less bureaucratic as well, with the end of the corporatist sense and the equivalence of salaries between the public and private sector. We shall provide effective criminal, administrative and civil penalties of inhibiting nature for future action; we shall provide cooperation between the law applicator and the private companies; we shall prevent the conflict of interests; we shall forbid the existence of “black fund” at the companies and we shall encouraged the relief or reduction of taxes to expenses considered as bribery or other conducts related

General Perspective

- The essay deals with the most controversial issues of the so-called "Brunetta law of delegation", which aims at reforming the regulation of employment in the public sector. Taking into consideration the numerous requests for a review of the sources of regulation in this field, the reform strengthens the role of statutes, while decreases the role of collective bargaining, especially at the local level. The reform intervenes on the sensitive relationship between political and administrative power as well, in order to enhance management independence and to invest management with responsibility to reach efficiency and productivity, even through a stronger use of disciplinary measures. Public administration transparency and accountability is another important issue of this reform. In particular, the aim is to get involved citizens and customers in the first hand through measures - even at the judicial level - which might boost the most inefficient and uncommitted sectors. From a general perspective, this reform is noteworthy as it tries to introduce elements of renewal and to upgrade the public sector. Nevertheless, the proposed measures seem rough and not well-assessed, leading to solutions that often appear demagogic and unable to introduce elements of concrete renewal.Key words: Employment in the Public S ector; Collective Bargaining; Management; Transparency; Incentives; Sanctions.Parole chiave: Lavoro pubblico; Contrattazione collettiva; Dirigenza; Trasparenza; Incentivi; Sanzioni.

The objective of this paper is to examine the dynamics of collective bargaining machinery in both the public and private sectors in Nigeria; with a view to bringing to the fore the peculiarities associated with both sectors with regard to the practice of bargaining. To achieve this objective, the paper adopts a theoretical approach. The author observes that the practice of industrial relations as a discipline and that of collective bargaining in particular emanated from the private sector the world over. Thus, much of the practices of public sector collective bargaining are modelled after the private sector collective bargaining. However, in Nigeria, the obverse is the case as collective bargaining gained its root in the public sector owing to the near absence of private sector at the turn of the century. However, in Nigeria, the public sector pays lip-service to the collective bargaining machinery. Governments at all levels (Federal, State and Local) have continued to set aside collective bargaining and to give wage awards to score political points in spite of its commitment to the ILO Convention 98 to freely bargain with workers. The State or the government in the course of regulating wages and employment terms and conditions revert to the use of wage commissions. Thus, wage determination is by fiat. This preference for wage commissions can at best be regarded as a unilateral system as collective bargaining is relegated to the background.Wage tribunals or commissions offer little opportunity for workers’ contribution in the determination of terms and conditions of employment and can hardly be viewed as bilateral or tripartite. Thus, the State preference for wage commissions is anti-collective bargaining. In spite of Nigeria’s commitment to Conventions of the ILO with particular reference to such Conventions as 87 of 1948 and 98 of 1949 which provide for freedom of association and the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively. Thus, the use of wage commissions is antithetical to collective bargaining.

The collective bargaining over working conditions of employees in the Public Administration service finds a number of features that in some cases do not always have a clear legal protection and in others, they have some specific characteristics exclusively in the public sector, thus making it necessary to proceed to its analysis.

The article is devoted to the modern concept of government as a platform, it reveals its essence, principles, conditions of implementation and advantages. The emergence of the concept is associated with the process of digital transformation going on in the leading countries of the world. The author concludes that in the course of its implementation a state platform comes into existence on which the public sector cooperates with partners from the private sector and citizens. The author demonstrates that the prospects for cooperation are expanded, the provision of public services becomes more efficient, safe and fast and an effective mechanism for decision-making and public administration is created.

Much of economic planning in Latin America has been oriented toward promoting industrialization. These plans have generally given a major role to government, and no doubt there is a significant role that the public sector can and must play in capital mobilization as well as in performing other functions. In most countries, the infrastructural needs alone are enormous and constitute a major challenge for the still rudimentary machinery of public administration and the generally weak fiscal systems.Clearly, however, a very large portion of the capital requirements of industrialization has been supplied by the private sector—with important assistance from foreign enterprises, to be sure, but with the domestic private sectors supplying most of the financing needed to maintain what has been, in most countries, a relatively high rate of industrial development. The focus of this paper is on the mechanism by which this capital has been mobilized by the private sector and on the changes that appear to occur in that mechanism during the process of industrialization.

Information and communications technology (ICT) is radically changing productive processes in both the private and public sectors. Institutions that are more efficient eliminate production diseconomies and enable a more functional market. Specifically, institutions can multiply the incentives for human capital accumulation both by reducing the endogenous uncertainty in social-economic relations and by providing additional input to human capital generation itself (think of schools, universities, and research institutes). Mainstream economic thinking generally accepts the argument according to which the transaction and information costs that are inherent to policy-making are largely greater than those incurred by the private sector (Dixit, 1996). If this is true, then public sector intervention is denied the possibility of achieving more efficient results than those obtained by the private sector (Holstrom & Milgrom,1991). Yet, ICT is radically transforming the way government entities perform their activities, which makes a timely debate on public sector information, in all its forms, all the more crucial. Public administrations are following the example of the private sector by harnessing the efficiency-boosting potential of these new technologies. This development goes under the name of “electronic government” (e-government) and it encompasses both the internal and external applications of ICT in the public sector. The importance of this development is increasingly evident in many countries of the world. Experiments are underway in Europe, at all levels of public administration (local, regional, national, and supranational), to improve the efficiency of public services and to increase interactions with the external world. ICT not only facilitates the inner workings of administrative machinery, it also eases communication between different branches of the administration and its interaction with citizens and businesses. This latter aspect is one of the main advantages of e-government, as it brings public sector entities, businesses, and citizens closer together, as well as improving the standard of public services. In September 2003, the European Commission issued a Communication on “The Role of E-government for Europe’s Future”: it stated that e-government “is an enabler to realise a better and more efficient public administration. It improves the development and implementation of public policies and helps the public sector to cope with the conflicting demands of delivering more and better services with fewer resources” (p. 7).

The doctoral thesis studies the evaluation systems of attribution of humanpotential in public services compared to the private enterprises. A short description ofthe theoretical background of the notion "evaluation of human potential'1 is precededand then a short historical retrospection follows.At the second part of the thesis, the author focuses on all systems of evaluationthat were applied in the Greek public administration from 1975 until today. Viaquestionnaire he has studied many enterprises of the private sector and PublicEnterprises of Common Interest (DEKO) localized in Greece.What he concludes from the study is that no system was applied with completesuccess in the public sector. On the contrary none could achieve its objective and befriendly to the employers while contributing in the creation of a more effective andefficient public administration to the citizens. On the other side, in the private sector,the employers' evaluations are realised with a stricter way and they are based onquantitative data.
