Personnel Administration, Recruitment and Selection ProcessAbstract
This qualitative study intends to: 1) examine the background and problems of local personnel administration, with a focus on the recruitment and selection process, based on the merit system and decentralization principles; 2) examine the elements that make local personnel administration effective, with a particular emphasis on the recruitment and selection process; and 3) pinpoint tactics to promote reforms in local personnel administration, with a particular emphasis on the recruitment and selection process. The sample comprises twenty individuals, comprising of two experts, two senior executives from the civil service, six senior executives from local government officials or employees, six local government officials or employees operating at the operational level, and four local government officials or employees involved in the recruitment and selection procedure. Detailed interviews, focus groups, and content analysis are some of the techniques that are employed. The research findings show that: 1) the context and issues of local personnel administration, especially the recruitment and selection process based on the principles of decentralization and the merit system, indicate that local administrators frequently display biases, both positive and negative, towards their subordinates due to close working relationships, leading to a tendency to use patronage systems in personnel administration; 2) the elements that improve the effectiveness of local personnel administration, especially the recruitment and selection process, include the continuous promotion and development of personnel and the appropriate use of patronage and merit systems in administration. and 3) The process of selection should evaluate candidates' professional skills, academic knowledge, and position-specific knowledge. The Central Committee will be in charge of the academic assessments, and local administrators and the Provincial Committee will evaluate candidates' suitability for the role. This will guarantee that qualified candidates are chosen while properly utilizing the patronage and merit systems. 4) Encouraging and cultivating among executive officials and local administrators a knowledge of morality and ethics in personnel administration.
