Undoubtedly, the civil service became the premier work place for the people as
the private sector was weak and its system was minimal. It was only motivated HPT KFA 2010
by the desire to make meager proits and had to rely mainly on hard work rather
than the eficiency of the system.
Since independence, development has been the dominant factor in motivating
the people and the government to develop all sectors of the economy from the
most conservative agricultural sector to the receptive commercial sector. In this
connection, the government has been playing the role of motivator in order to
facilitate changes. Besides, it has also been giving a lot of incentives for the
purpose. As the state had to move forward, the change over to development
administration became increasingly essential as the government was not only
to keep peace and maintain unity of the people but more importantly to
see that everything moves in the common efforts to develop the country.
But with the tremendous success in motivating the people for change in
development, the state and the country have been able to use the manpower
to intensify and accelerate its pace to bring about greater progress and
prosperity to what they are today. With the new reality, members of the
civil service cannot remain as development administrators only. Instead,
they must be involved with the management of the economy, which entails
interacting the micro matters with the macro ones primarily to improve their
eficiency in such management. In other words, they must be motivated
to ensure that the state and the country must achieve maximum level of
growth and prosperity towards the year 2020 and beyond.
Essentially members of the civil service can no longer think like in the
old days. They have to think forward and regard themselves as people who
are going to implement strategies for change. The concept of strategic governing
must be worked out within themselves. It is something, which they cannot do by
imposition from outside or from the top. They must embrace the transformation
willingly whether they are at the bottom or top levels of the structure. They
must be conscious of the fact that they are working for change within a highly
competitive environment in the global world.
With the tremendous progress being achieved, the private sector becoming
more adept to taking advantages of change and being able to achieve greater
success in participating in the growth of the country, members of the civil
service must endeavour to function as those of the management team rather
than remaining as administrators as in the old days.
