Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with evaluation of civil servants in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author gives an explanation of the term, type and basic characteristics of the evaluation system of civil servants. Special attention was paid to the consequences of evaluation of civil servants that may be, on the one hand, positive, and on the other hand, negative. The author concludes that the termination of employment of civil servants, in the case of two consecutive negative assessments, is too strict sanction, because it directly threatens the stability of employment and the principle of socio-economic security of the employee. This is emphasized by the fact that evaluation system in Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions has a potential element of subjectivnes of the superior, when it comes to assessment process, which could lead to various abuses. In those cases, the author believes that there should be some other forms of vocational training or courses, and that cooperation between the employees and the superiors should be improved as to identify and eliminate causes of successive negative assessment mark.
