Why is it that there is a preconceived notion that the human resource of
private organization is more superior to the human resource of government organization?
The difference lies in recruitment.
Private organizations most especially the competitive ones source their human
resource from a competitive pool of people. They advertise and those who are
initially qualified pass through several stages of interviews and examinations
before they are hired. Their employment
is solely based on competence and what they could bring in to the organization.
On the other hand government organizations generally source their need
for human resource from within the circle of people who are employed in their
organization. For example, an employee is hired in a government office because
he/she is the son, daughter or relative of a current employee.
Because of his/her connections this future government employee will not anymore
pass through the selection process. She/he
will not be interviewed anymore, she/he will not go through the process of competitive
written examination. Or if he/she goes through the selection process
(interview, written exam and medical examination etc…) it would just be for
formality.
So what happen to this government organization? Its efficiency is affected;
it cannot fully deliver the expected competitive service. And who suffers from
this flawed government recruitment method? It’s the concerned government office
and the people that it serves.
There is also a preconceived notion that there’s a wide gap that exists
as to the behavior and competitiveness between employees of private vis-a-vis
government organizations. Employees of private organization would normally work
harder and they are more competitive because of the stringent selection process.
Therefore, if you want your human resource to effectively deliver in
your organization. Recruit those who are fully qualified. Not based on whom
they know or based on their connection in the office. But based on what they
know and what they can positively contribute to your organization. – Marino J.
