The paper aims to investigate the effects of ¡§Local Government Act¡¨on the ¡§centralized personnel system¡¨ of the government employee ethics unit. Before the promulgation and implementation of the Local Government Act, the laws of local self-government for the local government agencies to follow and observe were ¡§The Taiwan Local Self-Government Guidelines¡¨, ¡§The Self-Government Law for Provinces and Counties¡¨, and ¡§The Municipal Self-Government Law¡¨. In fact, the local self-government implemented by the county and municipal governments only existed in name because the so-called local self-government was still under the control of the Central Government. Before the government employee ethics unit was reorganized in 1992, the government employee ethics officers were put in the government departments of different levels as well as the state-run enterprises in Taiwan, and subordinated to the personnel units of these institutions. They were responsible for maintaining the safety and security of the institutions, investigating the loyalty of the staff members, and so on. After the implementation of Local Government Act, the chiefs of local government agencies elected by the people have been vested much more personnel authorities. They also expect a higher level of autonomy as the self-consciousness of the people is growing high. Along with this reorganization, the government employee ethics officers have turned into the staff members to assist the chiefs of local government agencies. Meanwhile, based on their statutory job duties, these staff members concurrently assume the great responsibilities for well-formed civil service ethics and anti-corruption practices for local government agencies.
