Abstract

The objective of this paper is to elucidate the obstacles and factors that arise inside the bureaucratic civil service during the implementation of the merit system. The inefficiency displayed by state civil apparatus officials in the execution of their responsibilities, within both institutional and governmental settings, can be attributed to the shortcomings of the existing merit system. This paper utilizes a qualitative research approach to investigate the substance, structure, and legal environment within which public officials operate. Content-based analyses are utilized. The research reveals several significant deficiencies in the regulations, as they fail to provide explicit guidance on the implementation of the merit system. Consequently, the implementation of alternative solutions for the merit system may pose challenges for authorized officials. The second component pertains to the structural aspect, specifically referring to the formal election system, the evaluation of which remains uncertain. Another significant issue to consider is the legal culture, which places a higher emphasis on subjective preferences rather than the competence of people seeking public office.
