Authors: Dang Minh Dao Nguyen Manh Hung Luong Thi Thu Trang Supervisor: Asso. Vo Kim Son (Vietnam) National Academy of Public Administration, under Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Public Administration Supervisor: Dr. Lars Torsten Eriksson (Sweden) Faculty on Political Science, Uppsala University Date when the thesis is presented: 2011 May, 17th Aim: Current self mastery mechanism for human resource (state employee) management in public service organizations is one of concerns of many scholars and researchers in Vietnam.
The mechanism appears to have a lot of problems that need be solved such as recruitment, use, training, reward and discipline and especially the self mastery mechanism in making decisions on organizational structure and operation of public service organizations that has not been brought into full play, given strong motive to heads of those organizations and being creative and active in seeking, recruiting, using and making use of strength of human resource in an appropriate way in their organizations. With our Thesis, our group aims at pointing out advantages, shortcomings of the mechanism and make necessary recommendations to strengthen the mechanism so as to make it more effective and efficient, suitable with human resource development trend in Vietnam and international integration trend at this time. Method: The major method that our group uses is making a problem tre model to identify problems, compilation of, analyze information and dat available and related legal documents and the practice in this area since 199 till now (in vertical time aspect. We have used questionnaires of more tha questions to collect data.
By doing so, we can point out current problem: advantages and shortcomings of the current system, make recommendations o how to improve the self mastery right in management of human resource (stat employee) in public service organization in all aspects. In our Thesis, we use some figures in the reports/documents of the Ministry c Internal Affairs of Vietnam and books/reports/researches prepared b researchers in OECD, World Bank. Result & Conclusions: Our group has found out advantages and shortcomings of the current mechanism. Specifically speaking, they are: a.
Advantages - Legal documents have step by step separated and clarified the leg status of public service organization in comparison with state managemei agency in order to apply new management mechanism; - The human resource (state employee) management mechanism in publi service organization has been step by step separated from the gener: human resource management mechanism. This may be seen from ON legal document system on human resource management applied to a cadre, civil servant changed to two specific legal documents regulatin two separated groups (civil servant and state employee); - Initially, the self master right has been given to public servic organizations. This creates a new way of access for management of publ service organization; - Contract mechanism has been applied: - Salary regime based on source of income has been w elcomed by mar public service organizations through Decree 43. Shortcomings - First, content relating to human resource process In general have n dam ent all y cha nge in nat ure of the two gro ups : civi l ser van t and sta been fun employee.
- Second, as drafting the Law on State Employee, many points have n« been clarified or understood correctly. One of basic point is the contra mechanism. - Third, we do not clarify the contract mechanism so we provide contra differently compared with staff quota. - Forth, contract mechanism and forms for discipline are not boun together that makes contract not to bring into full play.
- Fifth, many points in human resource management (state employe mechanism are similar to that of civil servant. - Sixth, the contract mechanism has just been brought to practice and n‹ fullY implemented. - Seventh, self mastery mechanism for public service organizationS hi always met with difficulties because there are many other mechanisms th: reduce the effectiveness. - Eighth, the human resource working in state agencies and organization | the context of Vietnam is very special.
The law provides the transfer ‹ public employee to public servant in the form of consideration fi recruitment make the position based model become meaningless. - Ninth, we confuse the retirement according to labor law and issue relating to employment as people are out of labor age. - Tenth, the labor law provides more clearly than the Law on State Employee We also make some specific recommendations as follows: 1. Applying the self mastery model as of enterprise towards public servic organizations; 2.
Giving self master right on establishing the organizational machinery | implement their duty 3. Giving true self master right on consideration of necessary number ‹ staff, types of human resource (state employee) in a flexible way 4. Giving right to recruit and use human resource on the basic + requirement of work according to career based model 5. Giving self master right in using given budget to pay, invest or attra human resource.
The above said recommendations are the first hand recommendations. They a all equal important. The point is that it is necessary to carry out the recommendations as soon as possible to create a sound self maste mechanism for management of human resource in public service org anization Recommendations for further research As mentioned earlier, our research is the first hand. In order to have broader understanding on this issue, it is necessary to have deeper analysis so as to make higher quality recommendations.
I wish ifI was given scholarship, I can develop it to a Doctorate Thesis. Contribution of the thesis: It is possible to say that our Thesis has given a rather comprehensive picture of self mastery mechanism for human resource management in public service organizations in Vietnam. We hope scholars, researchers and administrators may use recommendations in our Thesis for completion of the mechanism. Here the author will discuss how the thesis has contributed to new knowledge for different interested parties.
By contribution it is meant the expected usability of the conducted thesis. Key words: self mastery mechanism, state employee, public service organization, human resource.GENERAL THEORY ON MECHANISM FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING PUBLIC SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.

The fundamental requirement of management in areas of the social life requires us to implement social progresses and fairness.
Economic growth must go along with social development, guaranteeing all welfares for the people especially the poor, narrowing the gap between the areas. The above said issues have put forward a requirement for the State that state agencies must provide high quality service sufficiently to meet with fundamental and essential needs of the people and community without profit. In order to implement this task effectively, the point is how to build up a mechanism for management of human resource in general including management of state employee in particulars that are suitable with the development orientation of the society and the international integration trend. The State must build up a sound mechanism for management and development of human resource who are working in public service organizations.
The term human resource used in this Thesis may be referred to as state employee. It is possible to say that our State has paid special attention to building up an effective system of civil servant and state employee from the early day of foundation of Vietnam. A series of legal documents including laws and by law documents regarding this issue has been promulgated with the aim to better this task. A lot of achievements have been reached with respect to recruitment, utilisation and management of state employee.
So far, there has been clear distinction between administrative area and public service area. By 2009, there were 1.62 state employees who work in public service organizations. A part from the achieved results, the self mastery mechanism for management of human resource still has some limitations and shortcomings with respect to awareness and job, legal provisions and practice of recruitment, utilization and management. After the 2008 Law on Civil Servant was promulgated, it was natural that state employees were not regulated by this Law The professional activity of state employee as well as the self mastery mechanism for management human resource in public service organization was ulated by many by-law documents.
There have appeared a lot of shortcomings that did not bri ng into full pla y of that mec han ism. It is pos sib le to say that wit h this mechanism, the self mastery mechanism for management of human 7 resource (state employees) in public service organizations have not been considered seriously and sufficiently. From the objective requirement of the practice, with the aim to meet requirements of building the Socialist State Rule of Law of the people, by the people and for the people, improving the service quality of public service organizations, strengthening the socialization of service activities and building a system of state employee with high quality, in November 2010, the National Assembly of Vietnam promulgated a Law on State Employee aiming at clearly define the legal status, role of state employee and public service organizations in the entire system of state agencies and political system.
