Overview of human resource management in local public administration ***

Abstract

In Romania and other Eastern European countries, the administrative reform was often understood just as the
adoption of new laws and regulations; the only instrument of administrative changes being located in the legislation.
There were taken ideas, policies, procedures, laws, without properly articulated prior studies and without adaptation to
the Romanian reality. Different administrative systems, different cultures, practices and different legal systems have
created or create different conditions compared with other countries of the world, the more so as the functions of public
management (forecasting, organization-coordination, management, motivation and evaluation and control), have been years in a row ineffective or some of them were entirely lacking. On the development level of public function in Romania and the impact of Romanian economic news impact on the field, we identify the main existing problems. Current status and the European integration means the adaptation of Romania to the requirements regarding the level of training and development of human resources required at international level.
