碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 90 === In order to maintain strong national competitiveness, the government needs to establish a management model composed of incorruptibility, efficiency, foresight, vitality, flexibility, and emergency capabilities. Having an appropriate management model is the expectation of all democratic states. After publishing the book of “Reinventing Government ” the “Reinventing Government” has become a trend. Many countries are making a great effort to reform and enhance the efficiency of government’s function due to people’s requests. An efficient government is a major indicator for national competitiveness, and the function of the government is a typically manpower intensive activity, consequently human resource management of civil servants is the key to an efficient government. Since the 1980s, countries such as those in Europe and the U.S.A have been trying to adopt strategic human resource management practices for improving the quality of civil servants, government efficiency as well as develop national competitiveness while facing the challenge of globalization and the demand of high-quality service. The main direction of government reformation is to strengthen the “Human Resource Management” that features in empowerment, flexibility and market competitive mechanism, which is different to the traditional “Personnel Management.” Purposes of the study: 1.To study the status and problem may have caused upon applying human resources. 2.According to the research framework, sampling surveys will be taken, so as to verify the assumption provided in the research. 3.To study the variation of recognition and interaction of civil servants in the research framework and analyze the influence to the achievements in an organization. All sampling surveys were administered to the first till the tenth of the River Basin Management Bureau and three Water Resource Bureaus located in the north, center, and south of Taiwan. Approximately 290 surveys were given on April 16, 2002 and 207 surveys were received on May 10, 2002. Two surveys were invalidated after a one-month survey period and the collection rate of valid surveys was 71.38%. Conclusion: 1.After reforming the organization, the achievements of an organization can be obviously higher, if the recognition of civil servants has higher positive effect and the organization values its staff more than before. Due to the unique biological organization, however the negative effect is still there, yet the achievements of an organization are enhanced and the civil servants still feel it strongly. 2. Proper manpower reduction can improve efficiency for certain organizations with redundant personnel, but it cannot be applied to a temporary manpower reduction. 3. In the present stage, the measure of flexible human resource management can enlarge the efficiency in an organization. On the other hand, the flexibility of subcontract, function, payroll, and operation cannot be seen because of the inflexibility in government system. 4. The measure of flexible human resource management is the strength to apply manpower reduction. However, subcontract merely affects the implementation of manpower reduction.
