In a note published on July 22 in Farhikhtegan national newspaper, Atefeh Moradi Eslami, GPTT’s senior researcher examined the political appointees and career civil servants in Iranian administrations. She observed that the transfer of senior managers when a new administration comes to power is one of the serious challenges in administrative governance, and although in different periods, administrations have created different practices in employing politicians in the administrative structure, the pervasive senior personnel turnover has become a tradition. According to her, in different countries, to achieve the two goals of strengthening the bureaucratic system and at the same time using political experts from outside the administration to promote the changes considered by the cabinet, they identify two categories of managers and design a specific recruitment, evaluation, and promotion system for each. Professional management is linked to the concept and requirements of “public service” and their function is not in the strategic layer but in the operational one. In contrast, the political positions in Iran have numerous examples and comprise nearly 3500 job titles. The legislator’s lack of attention to defining and determining the criteria for job promotion in political managers has caused factional conflicts. She concluded that heterogeneity and historical ups and downs in the ability of political managers, the high turnover of these managers due to administration changes, the uncertain evaluation and selection mechanism, and the significant rate of misbehavior, along with the lack of organizational training and empowerment mechanism, political memory, learning process and transfer of experience and substitution mechanism, and intergenerational transitions are among serious challenges.
