Romanians Civil Servants between New Public Management and Neo Weberian Principles. Some Perspectives

This paper aims at outlining the contents of the special issue on Romanian civil servants, making a comparative analyze of the principles applicable: can we discuss about New Public Management (NPM) approaches or, taking into consideration the Romanian civil service reform, we have a Neo Weberian model? The article provides reviews of the scientific literatures in this special issue. The argument is that the work performance of civil servants are based on a set of goals determined by the citizens-clients needs and the market movements, but, in the mean time, it is about the quality of work in terms of citizens satisfaction and the innovative solutions for the administrative problems. The special issue, of which this article provides an overview, make an incursion in the literature providing analyze on the Romanians civil servants based on the steps of actual reform and putting on the questions the managerial and bureaucratic principles. Research limitations include the width of the phenomenon under discussion. We state that the work and performance means not only NPM principles, but have instead chosen to adopt the Neo Weberian approach.
