Abstract

Recruiting civil servants who are capable of effectively performing their assigned tasks contributes to improving the efficiency of state administrative management. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research on the current situation to identify the causes and propose solutions to enhance the current civil servant recruitment process to meet the current and future needs of state management. Based on the general theory of civil servants in Vietnam and some other countries, this article mainly employs a comparative approach to analyze the recruitment of civil servants in Vietnam and Japan, both in terms of legal regulations and practices. The aim is to provide recommendations for improving legal regulations and the organization of civil servant recruitment for administrative agencies in Vietnam.
