Empirical Findings from the Application of Human Resource Evaluation Methods in the Greek Public Administration

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to approach as much as possible the subject of evaluation in the public sector and to present its effects on job satisfaction. It focuses on human resource management and job evaluation processes, methods developed by theoretical and practical researchers. The main reason someone would want to deal with it at research level is the contribution of the evaluation of human resources in the public sector, in an effort to provide better services to the citizens with low cost, but above all in the cultivation of the feeling of satisfaction of the employees themselves in order to respond better to the work demands of the bodies they serve. We carried out research both qualitatively and quantitatively in the Region of Crete and the results obtained are of particular interest since they gave us an indication of the imperative need to improve the evaluation system as well as the procedures for its implementation.
