The main goal of the present work is to propose new ways of examining the
performance of public servant, others than the ones already specified in the frame law, tested
by the private system and well-known as being efficient. Although we are going trough period
marked by a profound financial, economic and social crisis, the public servant is required to
perform his duties to a high level of quality and to creatively contribute at the ongoing and
proposal of new projects.
Therefore, the ensuring of an efficient management can be materialized by using
modern methods, techniques and tools in the public management context too. Thus, the
development of the capacity of performance analysis and job satisfaction in the public
institutions becomes a precondition for the dimensioning of labor productivity.
Establishing priorities, strategy directions, strategic objectives, operational plans,
assessment and control plans and performance indicators must take account of changing
endogenous and exogenous variables of the public servant itself.
Furthermore, the economic growth of a country or a public sector may be related, in
terms of human resource utilization, to the increasing number of employees or to the better
use of the existing employees. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the performance scale
periodical is required for each public servant, in the dimensioning of proactive involvement in
specific activity.
This last aspect is statistically described through labor productivity- a key element of
economic performance.
The understanding of the forces that rule the labor productivity and the accumulation
of fixed capital especially, improving the institutional infrastructures or generating new
technologies is and will be a necessary objective in creating policies that increase workplace
performance.
The salaries and incentives management should take into account three essential
elements:
Ø the economic impact of salary and incentives granting system;
Ø the impact of granting salary and incentives system on employee behavior;
Ø the impact of granting salary and incentives system on the balance.
These elements are a set of constrains which limits the maneuvering area of the public
institutions and dictates the granting of salary and incentives based on the level of
performance indicators of each public servant, after periodic analysis.
So, there is an extremely varied range of performance indicators available and many
others can be developed to fit the needs of specific public or local administration projects.
Yet, performance indicators aren't Key Performance Indicators until they are selected and
applied as key for a specific aspect.
The analysis of fundamental economic correlation between salary dynamics and labor
productivity dynamics is necessary to assessing the economic efficiency, this correlation
being the maxim expression, overview of the balanced functioning of budgetary device.
