employee - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 2001 - 7 Shilling

According to the Austrian Encyclopedia, the public service includes all persons employed in public institutions. This includes civil servants and contract employees at the federal level, at the provinces and municipalities as well as employees at other public institutions. This refers to people who guarantee the citizen security, education, social and health care, as well as proper administration at all levels. Their efficiency depends on the policy that should create the optimal legal basis for their activity. The probably too high density of regulations makes the administration more and more complicated, whereby from a certain density every further regulation has to fail. Of course, the usual phrases about administrative reform in Austria for decades can not help. It would be time to involve the staff concerned with their high level of experience and responsibility, rather than burdening them with the suspicion of being against any new idea. For reasons that are mostly in line with the law, the civil service will be happy attacked, therefore some international reviews: According to the World Competitiveness Yearbook, Austria ranks 14th out of 49 (evaluable) countries. In first place you will find the Alpine Republic in the areas of security, justice, health infrastructure and quality of life. The World Economic Forum Davos gives Austria top positions in executive effectiveness, administrative compliance, institutional stability and freedom from corruption. In the Speyerer Qualitätswettbewerb für Verwaltungen Austria (in terms of the size of the country) has "a subscription" to the best place.
