지방총액인건비제도와 지방공무원표준정원제도의 비교연구

Abstract

The study attempts to compare the recently introduced total personnel costs for local governments with the abolished standardized sizes of personnel system of local governments in order to effectively operate the total personnel cost system for local governments. Under the new total personnel cost system, the local governments are expected to enjoy discretions in managing organizations and to be given more flexibility in utilizing employees. However, this study discloses little differences in both systems of managing local governments in that the proper sizes of personnel and proper sizes of personnel costs for local governments are quite correlated each other. Therefore, under the new system, the degree of discretion each local government feels the same unless any other measures, such as discretion in managing the organizations, should be accompanied. The study, therefore, suggests to give more discretion to local governments in managing the organizations and to set up the rational political process mechanism in order to secure administrative accountability and efficiency.
