Question 1:
“The public sector has traditionally offered the high level of job security or even “jobs for life” coupled with a set of the employment regulations. But over the past two decades the public sector has lost this distinctiveness. As a result, many of underlying assumptions concerning human resource management in the public sector are no longer true.”
Critically determine this statement with specific reference to public sector in Mauritius.
Question 2:
“Management in the public domain has unique characteristics and is dissimilar from management of private organisations.”
Elaborate on some fundamental differentiations between the public sector and private sector that influence how human resources are handled.
Question 3:
“Although there is no evidence of an across the board problem of recruitment and retention in Public Sector in Mauritius, it is a fact that scarcity of staff of right profile and calibre in some organisations has remained an ever-recurring issue.”
Critically comment on different measures approved by Government to tackle recruitment or retention problems in public sector organisations in Mauritius.
