principles, practices and rationalized techniques in selecting, retaining,
and developing personnel for the
fulfillment of organizational
objectives’.
ROBERT D. GATEWOOD (1994)
‘’All activities that forecast on the
number and type of employees
which an organization will
need and then find, and develop them
with necessary skills’’
NICHOLAS HENRY (2006)

Problems of Governance in Pakistan
• Revising Governance in Pakistan’s perspective• The Musharraf Paradox: The Failure of an Economic
Success Story• Issues of Voters in 2008• Factors contributing to country’s economic malaise• Some highs of Musharraf Era• Factors contributing to country’s economic malaise• Outcomes of the dictatorship
Economic Growth and Social Polarization
• During the Ayub period (1960-1969) the basic objective of the development strategy was to achieve a high growth rate of GNP within the framework of private enterprise supported by government subsidies, tax concessions and import controls.Investment targets were expected to be achieved on the basis of the doctrine of functional inequality. This meant a deliberate transfer of in come from the poorer sections of society who were thought to have a low marginal rate of savings, to high income groups who were expected to have a high marginal rate of savings for the sake of high savings and raised investment.
• The particular growth process in Pakistan during this period generated four fundamental contradictions:
1. A dependent economic structure and growing inflow of foreign loans. 2. An acute concentration of economic power (43 families represented 76.8 per cent of all manufacturing assets by the end of the 1960s). 3. The polarization of classes in the rural sector and a rapid increase in landlessness. 4. A growing economic disparity between the regions of Pakistan.
Governance• The political and bureucratic elite in Pakistan has so far
demonstrably failed in fulfilling its historical role of building a modem democratic polity marked with social justice within the state of Pakistan, as envisaged by the founding father, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Fulfilling this role would have meant building institutions through which the will of the people could become operative within the power structure, developing a political culture which could strengthen and sustain these institutions, and finally, in initiating an industrialization process through which the people of Pakistan could make a contribution to the contemporary world.
• it is remarkable that whenever the people, as a whole, have intervened, they have shown not only a high level of political consciousness but, in fact, it can be argued that their political maturity has grown over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
• Are these institutions capable of fairly resolving many of the conflicts that have repeatedly derailed the economy?
• Will they permit continuity in economic policy? • Will they strengthen democracy, enabling all
segments of society better access to public services and opportunities?
• Will they enable the country to finally have a successful economic transition to high sustained growth?

Summary (1947-2000)
• Institutionalization of Clienteles, Personalized Politics
• Disempowerment of Provincial Elected Tier
• Circumscribed Power of Elected Local Governments
• Strong Bureaucratic Hold Over Local Governments
• Political Power Highly Centralized
Conclusions• One formula fits all, implementation in one go• Devolution – phases (from center to province and from
province to districts) • Failure to undertake financial repercussions-the transition
committees never submitted their reports• Increased political participation yes, sustainability &
effectiveness in doubt• Unfinished agenda- un established bodies, departments,
failure to make changes in the ordinance due to rigidity • New agenda- Provincial & National Assembly Elections and
emerging conflicts – Party or non-party based elections– to have or have not
• Constitutional protection without endorsement of parliament

Role of Bureaucracy in Public Administration
• What is Bureaucracy?• Weber’s Model• Functions of Bureaucracy• The nature and dimensions of bureaucracy-
society incongruity• Pakistan’s prime need a real bureaucracy• Remedies
The Bureaucracy
• What is Bureaucracy?• A complex, hierarchically arranged
organization composed of many small subdivisions with specialized functions
• Bureaucracy means “rule by officialdom”• Bureaucracy is complex
Bureaucracy (Weber Model)
• Hierarchy• Division of Labor• Consistency• Qualification• Professional–Private Separation• Devotion to Purpose• Advancement / Seniority
Remedies• Bureaucracy can be effective only if it has the
assurance of protection from the vindictive actions of rulers.
• Recently, the Supreme Court has started taking notice of the ministerial nepotism and arbitrariness in the appointments and promotions of officials.
•This initiative should be followed by a bill to enact the security of tenure and containment of the discretionary powers of rulers for appointments, transfers and promotions of public officials.
• The reconstruction of Pakistan’s bureaucracies has to begin with restoring the rule of rules in public services and ensuring security of tenure with accountability.
• Pakistan’s bureaucracies are plagued by many ills other than insecurity and loss of professionalism.
Quote of the Day
• There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
