Current Trends Influence on Performance of Civil Service Employees

Abstract

The current vector of the development of human resources potential in the civil service is turning to greater flexibility and adaptation of modern management practices, which require the existence of certain specific competences for civil servants. The purpose of this study was to access the perceptions of civil servants with regards to the efforts of existing contemporary trends on motivational techniques adopted by government for sustainable productivity. The study sample was made up of employees randomly selected from ministries. A four-point Likert-type scale questionnaire was designed by the researchers and used for data collection. The findings showed significant differences in the degree of influence exercised by contemporary trends on employees' job satisfaction and productivity as perceived by the employees. The expected contribution to theoretical and practical implementation includes additional quantifiable arguments for developing and implementing incentive-based policies for the management of human resources in the public service. It also contributes to the practical implementation of performance-based evaluations and assessments of public administration in terms of output per employee of the public service.
