Since its implementation in 1987, Taiwan’s Civil Servants’Performance Appraisal Act has undergone four revisions, with five drafts of amendments to the act submitted for review by the Legislative Yuan. Unfortunately, none of these drafts have been looked into long enough to complete the relevant legislative procedures. Throughout these iterations of institutional amendments, particular attention has been paid to the proposed changes to both the proportion of the top grade (Grade A) and the elimination mechanism. In the current year (2024), the Examination Yuan has once again proposed amendments to the Civil Servants’Performance Appraisal Act, presenting numerous structural reform designs aimed at addressing the longstanding criticisms of the current appraisal system. This paper draws upon the assessment principles adopted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for the performance appraisal system of American civil servants. It explores the deficiencies of our current civil service performance appraisal system, introduces the key directions of the proposed amendments to the current appraisal system, analyzes the shortcomings of the current draft in planning the new system, and attempts to propose areas for further refinement of the current proposed new system. |
