Abstract

This report presents the results from a National Survey of Civil Servants and State Employees in Slovakia. The survey was endorsed by the Government Office of the Government of Slovakia. The survey was supported by the Department for Civil and Public Service headed by Zuzana Dzurendova and by Slovakia’s representative on the Working Party on Public Employment and Management of the OECD’s Public Governance Directorate, Martina Mrazikova, and the former General Secretary of the Government Office, Tatiana Janečková. The survey was conducted between February and April 2020. It targeted employees of the state administration at all levels of the Slovak public administration including: all central government organizations and selected subordinated organisations, all district offices as well as selected other state offices such as inspectorates and public health offices. The survey excluded a selected a number of state institutions, most of which are regulated by other laws than the Civil Service Law such as the court administration, the police administration, fire-fighters, fiscal offices etc. In total, the survey aimed to reach approximately 35.000 civil servants and selected state employees in Slovakia. The survey consisted of approximately 80 questions, which measure civil servants’ attitudes, their experience with human resources management, their experience with leadership practices, and the design of civil servants’ jobs in terms of their task autonomy and experience with the application of administrative rules. In addition, the survey asked questions related to the demographic attributes of respondents such as their gender, age or level of education. Among the attitudes of civil servants, the survey addressed the job satisfaction, job engagement, work motivation, public service motivation, commitment to working in the public sector and the integrity of civil servants. These attitudes have been shown to correlate closely with the organisational performance and integrity in the public sector.
