Martin Broad (University of Southampton) Pingli Li (University of Southampton) Hong T. M. Bui (University of Bath) Over the years, there has been a considerable body of researches on performance, but very few found in job performance within public organizations. Recently, several public administration scholars and practitioners have paid attention to this theme due to the requirements of public sector reforms, especially the application of New Public Management, basing on the theories from the private sector. It should note that performance in the public sector have their own characteristics, differing from in the private sector. Therefore, it is unreasonable when most of researchers in the public sector consider performance as a variable by applying the theoretical frameworks conducted in the private sector. Furthermore, since the theories performance are mostly studied in developed countries, it is a “naive” and even “disastrous” copy for the developing countries which have been implementing public sector reforms to apply these theories, especially on performance, which are unique and complicated. The aim of this study was to gain more knowledge about the experiences and concerns of Vietnamese civil servants and to determine what influences their job performance in practice. The aims of the research are: 1) to understand the perceptions of civil servants in their job performance practices, 2) to identify what factors affect civil servants’ job performance. We used grounded theory methodology and collected data through fifty-six civil servants from different administrative organizations, roles, ages, and years of experience from the north, the centre, and the south of Vietnam were interviewed within six months (from July 2016 to December 2016). We analysed the data in accordance with grounded theory, using open, axial, selective coding and comparative method. It is indicated that numerous factors, such as civil servants’ status, relationship issues, leadership, job characteristics, job performance evaluation, regulation frameworks, political interventions, hierarchical apparatus, organizational factors and social context are relevant to affecting the Vietnamese civil servants’ job performance in practice.

Nisa Agistiani Rachman (National Institute of Public Administration) According to the UNDP, there are 17 sustainable development goals that whole country should contribute to this program. Some of the objectives of the UNDP are directly related to public services, which require the high competency and performance of civil servants (State Apparatus). Given the diversity of ethnic, culture, and religion in Indonesia; improving social and cultural competency is inevitable. However, the development of diversity management competency blueprint remains unclear. Thus, it is equally important to define the social-cultural competency, to scrutinize the relationship between the competency and state apparatus performance, as well as to explore how these competencies could improve public services. The result of this paper is expected to be beneficial to academics in the field of public service and administration with diversity as a current issue. Moreover, the finding of this paper can be channeled to advance competency standard for state apparatus in Indonesia. |
