| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 公共行政研究所 === 96 === In recent years, the national competitiveness of Taiwan is going up. Yet the improvement in government efficiency is but limited. With drastic changes in the political and economic environment, all governments need to reconstruct the organization and reexamine the use of manpower for better performance. As running a government requires massive manpower, the key to government efficiency is the management of human resources in civil service.
The government reform committee launched the Government Manpower Flexibility Plan, which stipulates that government should diversify their employment channels of human resources, establish high-level administrative managers and expand the contract hiring employment system. In this thesis, the civil servants, employees and contract staff in Yi Lan County Government and its affiliated organizations serve as the target of the study. Hopefully it helps understand the use of manpower in local government.
Findings of this study are—
Local government tends to be flexible towards the use of manpower. It keeps a substantial and limited labor force. For special occasions or big events, it hires temporary staff to make up the labour force. Hiring contract staff also explains how local governments try to keep the cost down. Over the last five years, there’s been a massive employment of temporary and contract staff. Obviously the idea that the use of manpower should be more flexible prevails.
Based on these findings, this study would propose that the county government should enforce in-service training to ensure its functional flexibility, set up a sound relay system that employees can work on optional shifts or hours, make good use of outsourcing or manpower dispatches to increase numerical flexibility and develop a differentiation salary structure which accords to the professional skills and personal performance. The latter can help provide incentives for the employees and accelerate wage flexibility.
The policy should attend to the long-term demand of the flexibility strategy and integrate the use of functional flexibility, time flexibility, numerical flexibility and wage flexibility when necessary. It goes without saying that a diverse, adjustable and responsive flexible structure plus the flexible use of manpower can only work out when the head of the government fully supports it.
