Question

A major motive behind the current movement to reform the civil service system is that supervisors find it hard to motivate and reward the strong performers in their agencies and even harder to eliminate the non-performers and the dysfunctional. Private organizations have more freedom to do both, within the anti-discrimination laws that apply to all employers. Explain why public employees enjoy such enhanced job rights and how the public service would be different if there were no such job protections and immediate or higher supervisors could hire, promote, and fire at will.

Answer 1

Employees of the public sector have an intention that they are working for security of themselves along with safety and low work pressure instead of aiming at earning more profit for the organisation under government.these employees are subject to the protection under various constitutional rights.They are secured by the government laws and these are not applicable for the private employees.Various amendments in the constitution along with the federal laws have made it more relaxed for the public sector employees.Moreover they are also subject to union participation for security of their rights.They do not face the risks or pressure of the private sector work culture.
There would be a lot of changes in the public sector services if the available job protection and other job securities won't be there.If the employees would face competition and had the fear of loosing job on not performing well then he or she would attempt for better trial for work.moreover, public employees have a protective sense that under no circumstances will they loose their jobs.If this factor becomes vulnerable,then their faults would be rectified.comming late to office, going back early, doing minimum work, would be improved if their rights of job security and protection are loosened.if this is done,all levels of this sector would work properly and result in earning profits.
