Administrative authorities’ deviation from its authority of preparing efficiency reports. )A Compara

Abstract

Abstract: Efficiency reports play a distinguished role in administrative life, by enabling management bodies to assess the effectiveness and quality of the functional system followed by them, by measuring the degree of performance of the activities and tasks carried out by their employees, revealing shortcomings in it, correcting any loopholes that may appear in it, and at the same time, punishing the negligent and rewarding the diligent. However, management bodies may misuse these reports to achieve goals other than those intended by the legislator from their report, so they use them with the intention of achieving a private interest for one of the employees, out of favoritism, or with the intention of taking revenge and spite from the employee subject to evaluation. The researcher divided this study into three topics, concluding it with a number of results and recommendations, the most prominent of which are: amending the text of Article (30/ 1) of the Iraqi Civil Service Law No. 24 of 1960, and including a text that allows the employee to appeal the result of his efficiency evaluation report in the event that it is not satisfactory to him, or does not reflect the true level of his actual job performance, as well as obligating administrative heads to justify their decisions regarding reducing the efficiency rating of their subordinates, and specifying the facts on which they relied on this evaluation, in a way that enables the employee to avoid weaknesses and shortcomings in his job performance. © 2023 TUJR, College of Law, Tikrit University
