The Relationship between Performance Appraisal and Civil Servants' Motivation

Author(s): Alina Ciobanu,Bianca Ristea / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The purpose of our study is to provide a comprehensive up-to-date analysis regarding performance appraisal in Romanian public institutions and to examine whether there can be established a connection between performance appraisal and the factors that motivate civil servants to achieve improved results in their professional activity. The data analysed in our paper was collected from 120 civil servants working in institutions of the Romanian central, territorial and local public administration. The data was analysed and processed using quantitative methods and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the collected data, the respondents were grouped into two internally consistent clusters depending on their performance appraisal experience (high and low quality performance appraisal experience) and the profiles of civil servants in each cluster were delineated. Findings show that performance appraisal is not uniformly implemented in Romanian public institutions, 61,5% of our respondents perceiving it as an activity that lacks fairness and transparency, which does not contribute to their professional development. Another aspect achieved through our paper is the hierarchy of the factors that mostly influence civil servants work performance categorised into the two clusters: the ones satisfied and the ones dissatisfied with their performance appraisal experience. Our paper brings into academic discussion the necessity to design and put in place an improved performance appraisal system for civil servants in Romanian public institutions, aligned with the practices and objectives of performance management.

O formule „nieodwracalnego skutku prawnego” w rozumieniu art. 156 § 2 k.p.a. – krytycznie

Author(s): Mariusz Bogusz / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXXII/2014

Polish administrative proceedings provide for the annulment of an administrative decision that has the gravest legal defects. At the same time, however, procedural rules exclude the possibility of the annulment of defective administrative decision in case it has caused “irreversible legal effects”. The Author critically examines the concept of “the irreversible legal effects of an administrative decision” indicating the ambiguity of the scope of its meaning. This scope can substantially vary depending on the adopted a priori assumptions. The Author advocates the abandonment of the concept of “irreversible legal effects”as a negative condition for the annulment of an administrative decision.

Author(s): Roger Wettenhall / Language(s): English Issue: 2-3/2004

Presenting the characteristics of NDOs and agencies, and analysing the NDO-state relations, the paper argues that despite the different scholarly traditions, much advantage can come from allowing the two traditions to meet, share insights, and enrich each other.

Legislative Materials as the Legislator’s Voice in the Discourse on Legal Principles

Author(s): Agnieszka Bielska-Brodziak,Sławomir Tkacz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

The paper discusses the possibilities for using legislative materials in the process of establishing a catalogue of legal principles and determining their content. The starting point for the analysis was the conviction that the catalogue of legal principles and their content is established through discourse. One element of this discourse is the legislator’s voice in the form of “traces” left in various places. The interpreter may refer to both the legislator’s expressions in texts of normative acts and to expressions presented in legislative materials. Until recently, given their insufficient availability, legislative materials were seldom used in the discourse on legal principles. Through an analysis of legislative materials developed for the 2017 amendment of the Code of Administrative Proceedings, which introduced new principles to the Code, the authors show that these materials can be a source of valuable information on the legislative intent. The paper concludes with the following observation: the currently available access opportunities offered by information technologies mean that expanding the context that shapes the catalogue and content of the various principles through the use of legislative materials appears necessary.
