Administrative self-evaluation and the Civil Service Protection Act

Civil Service Protection Act was promulgated and announced in 1996, establishing a significant milestone for the protection of the rights and benefits of civil servants. Originally, the Act has 35 clauses only. In 2003, it was enormously revised, and increased to 104 clauses. With its regulative contents covering procedural and substantial requirements, the Act can be called a very special law. The relief procedures stipulated in the Act include two procedures: 1. retrial 2. appeal and re-appeal. Retrial is applied to the punishment that may change the identity and relationship of a civil servant, or has significant effects to the rights and benefits to a civil servant, or the item with property request right being infringed upon because of the identity of a civil servant. Appeal and re-appeal are applied to the management measure without significant effect to the rights and benefits of a civil servant, or the handling of the related working conditions.
Although the implementation of Civil Service Protection Act protects the rights and benefits of civil servants, it causes impacts to the leadership of departmental officials. However, it facilitates the authorities to conduct administration according to the laws. With this system, the disputes between civil servants and institutions can be appropriately solved. To the business promotion of institutions, it has positive meaning. The study mainly investigates the problems currently existed, including whether the related protection of rights and benefits in Civil Service Protection Act is sufficient, whether the civil servants understand the protection of their rights and benefits, whether the protection procedures are proper, whether retrial system will lead to the waste and burden of administrative resources, etc. It is hoped that through the investigation of the existing system and the discoveries in times of practice, the proposed suggestions can be a reference for revising the law.
The paper has about 10,000 words, and is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 is the introduction. Chapter 2 analyzes the protection system of the civil servants of Taiwan. Chapter 3 is about the administrative self-evaluation. Chapter 4 compares the various administrative self-evaluation systems. Chapter 5 takes Kaohsiung City Government for examples, and undergoes case study, in-depth interviews and questionnaire survey for further explanation. Chapter 6 is about the conclusions and suggestions, giving proposes for the aspect of legal system and the aspect of execution. Especially on the aspect of execution, further investigation is made on three aspects, including the government authorities, civil servants and personnel. It is hoped that the study is helpful to the subsequent legal amendments or to researchers.
Having analyzed some cases, and made in-depth interviews and questionnaire survey, the paper proposes several suggestions. First of all, the measurement standards of the administrative rules should be clearly specified. Secondly, a reinvestigation participation system should be established. Thirdly, the powers and functions of Civil Servants Association should be strengthened. Besides, the imposition of criminal punishment and disciplinary sanction should be reviewed. The disciplinary right should be passed to the administrative institutions, and the judicial institution should be responsible for the investigation right. In addition, the paper considers the appropriate disclosure of the punishment decisions or reinvestigation procedures and information so as to reduce the civil servants¡¦ queries of their institutions, establish in civil servants a value judgment of excellent work, and form a mutual supplementation and assistance relationship between the chiefs and the colleagues. Through the lectures and procedures, practical rehearsals, and the strengthening of personnel staff¡¦s business handling abilities, the institution is able to undergo an updated and harmonious development in maintaining the rights and benefits of civil servants and conducting the overall business promotion
