| Summary, etc. |
Since an enhanced administrative capability is considered as a perquisite for organisational performance, the study aims to identify and examine the issues in improving administrative capability in the Nepali Civil Service. Administrative capability is defined as the ability to achieve organisational objectives, which is influenced by different factors, such as the environment, organisation structure, personnel system, resources and management methods. Administrative reform is discussed as one of the approaches to improving capability in the Civil Service. Nepal has implemented various measures for improving administrative capability since the dawn of democracy in 1951 there have been structural and procedural changes based mostly on foreign grown theories in administration. However, the administration is still widely blamed for the non-achievement of developmental objectives. As the study reveals, through the perceived views of a large number of actors, this is due to the inability of reform efforts to address the problems associated with structure, personnel system and leadership, socio-cultural values and political environment. Therefore, there is a need to design an indigenous approach by incorporating growth-positive factors and avoiding growth-negative factors. A search for a `fit' between bureaucracy and the value configuration of Nepali society is thus needed. This is an attempt to this direction. - Reproduced |
