Abstract

How do civil service management practices differ within and across governments How do coreattitudes of public servants—such as their motivation or satisfaction—differ within and across governmentsUnderstanding how public administrations around the world function and differ is crucial for strengthening theireffectiveness. Most comparative measures of bureaucracy rely on surveys of experts, households, or firms, rather thandirectly questioning bureaucrats. Direct surveys of public officials enable governments to benchmark themselves andscholars to study comparative public administration and the state differently, based on micro-data from actors whoexperience government first-hand. This paper introduces the Global Survey of Public Servants, a global initiative tocollect and harmonize large-scale, comparable survey data on public servants. The Global Survey of Public Servants canhelp scholars compare public administrations around the world and understand the internal dynamics of governments,with the published Global Survey of Public Servants data freely available online.
