America civil servants and the our country civil servants to have what different?

Objective: America civil servants not to mention the "serve the people" but reassuring

 

Back from a shoulder bag, wear casual shoes, with his wife and 3 children, he looks like an ordinary Chinese took back the family vacation. American ambassador Luo Jiahui Chinese land from that moment on, has greatly attracted the eyes of the Chinese people, "on behalf of USA values" was different from most yellow skin officials, people exclaim, the original can also be so as. Luo Jiahui became our understanding of a window to the world, we're not sure that he did not show the suspicion, but he represents American civil servants do have too many places worthy of our thinking and learning.

Americans don't think the government staff, they will have to "serve the people" idea, the idea is to government staff is our voters hire, for our work, do well, we certainly should intervene to supervise.

America people have a saying: the government is a tiger, you must put it in a cage. Most people USA believe Christian original sin: Men at their birth, this evil, this is not the same as our ancestors. So I said in front of him, preventing followed close behind, before we do anything, must formulate relevant laws, to prevent people's desires and greed.

USA federal employees group is large, the postman counted 2650000 people, but the occurrence of bribery cases is relatively small. Even if it is less than $two a cup of Coffee, they generally will be out of pocket. If you eat together, American civil servants will adhere to the AA system, each equally be crystal clear how much a fraction. These are due to a great extent American law "strict" and "self-discipline of civil servants".

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. "One spare no effort" is the noble sentiment, but we need most now is not detached sentiment of cultivation, but the specification of the basic behavior of public power. We don't even have to move out of "public servant" so affectionate terms, but the duty of due diligence "civil servant" is very good.

 

America civil servants "abnormal" surprised us

 

USA "director ignored director"

 

From 2005 September to 2006 April, 5 Chinese Sichuan provincial officials were theory to train in the USA Georgia and Minnesota, and entered the state government departments "internship". Zhao Shiyong is Sichuan province agriculture hall total agronomist, internship as Minnesota state agriculture department assistant. During the period, he was surprised to find, Ministry of agriculture and market director travel together to study, set the hotel, the care of all things. "No director".

USA "director" why doesn't "director"? According to Zhao Shiyong's "gradually understand", because USA "director" think: you hired my superior, "I 'm working for you (I work for you)", then I put the duties within the scope of the work is the best for you. As for the follow around things, not my responsibility. Therefore, "the director no director", as the director thinks, behoove, as director will also have to.

Shandong officials Li Qun in "I when a story was about the mayor assistant" in a book in America: one day, he saw the news, that American vice president Gore to new haven city. But the mayor JohnDestefano turn a deaf ear to, just do your own thing. He was surprised and asked the mayor: "Gore, why don't you come?" Don't want the mayor asked him more surprised: "why should I come?" Li Qun later when the mayor assistant time when long, this just know, in America, lower level officials did not welcome the superior officials coming to a superior officer, accommodation, accompanied the inspection work, to enjoy the scenery, together to participate in recreational activities ". Li Qun said, do not say to the vice president, is up to the president to the mayor, also do not come out.

In American, lower level seems to be "very care not" superior! On a business trip, "regardless of the director"; vice president of the grassroots, governor even the noodles are not dew. This, for the people, sounds like listening to "mumbo-jumbo", even few people believe. Because in my country, this is a difficult thing to happen.

 

The Congress does not grant the government budget, "poor" to shut down

 

America Minnesota state and New Jersey state government decided, to stop the office since July 1, 2006, tens of thousands of civil servants "laid off", the reason is poor health, tax issues such as Parliament can not submitted by the government's fiscal budget.

In fact, closed USA government agencies phenomenon in history have occurred. In 1995 November, America Congress and the president failed to reach agreement on a balanced budget, Congress has not approved the government's budget, causing most government agencies due to a lack of funding and closed seven days. It was the Christmas, President Clinton had his own pocket to pay the White House electricity, just let the first Christmas tree lighting is not extinguished American.

We don't want to learn America shut down the government, but to learn their governing philosophy: the government is the government of the people, by the people, for the people service. Therefore, we must strengthen the control of the government, the government is always the servant role, must act in accordance with the master's will, must be subject to legal constraints.

The government should American closing sounds good, because people's government ability America tame worthy of praise. The government is a tiger, you must put it in a cage. The democracy government operations should be restricted by various aspects, of which the most important constraint is on behalf of the people exercise power of the parliament, any government policy must be approved by parliament to take effect, the government spent every penny, must be approved by parliament.

USA government closed but that a truth of modern civilization, political performance of the truth is: big society, small government; to society, society, government and weak government. The so-called big society, small government, it is based on the autonomous. Modern society is essentially autonomous, government was the principal. The so-called first society, government is a bit the idea, is the society to enjoy priority, both resources, benefit, honor, income, society should precede the government, this should be the greatest good modern civilization.

 

USA servant no gifts, gifts received only a letter of thanks

 

 

Gift giving is the most common phenomenon in China culture, Americans are gifts, mostly at Christmas time, between family members, friends, colleagues will also send small gifts, expressing my holiday blessing. USA postman and people contact, want to thank them for their hard work, give them some gift is not very good? But the postman can not accept the people's gift. Because the postman belong to the federal government hired staff (but does not belong to the civil service), the postman to accept people gifts not only banned there may even violate the law. So American postal administration always warned people of the postman, hard work to express gratitude is the best way to write a thank-you letter, rather than a gift.

America federal government strictly prohibits the government because of its position and the interests between individuals, companies, ask for and accept any gift. The present definition of USA government under very widely: any gratuity, Guan Zhao, discount, hospitality, treat, loans, debt repayment period extended or any money value of the goods. For civil servants, to be a gift. Don't accept is almost impossible task. So USA civil servants in some cases can still accept gifts, but limited in this area are very strict. First of all, civil servants receive annual market value of the gift must not exceed $50, every time the market value of gifts received no more than $20, and cannot be a cash gift, etc.. If the public receive do more than $20 in gifts, civil servants have two choices, one is the value must be more than the part with cash refund to the giver, two is the gift will be refunded. Direct exchanges some presents on the surface without money, may be a discount offer, which is often regarded as a gift.

American law "basic ban" each other gifts among civil servants, particularly to the "superior" gifts. To accept the gift, must "is obviously comes from relatives or friends," commercial discount coupons can accept, must be the preferential treatment of civil servants can enjoy.


Public drinking strict examination and approval, cocktail party food can only use toothpick eat

 

American civil public money into business and non business. When official business, can submit an expense account meals vary. Take China City, Beijing food standard is 90 dollars a day, the standard of Chongqing is $80, the standard of Lijiang for $62.

American civil servants in the no business task basic few public drinking opportunities. Civil servants will be involved in the official banquets, but government departments for this for very little, provisions to go through strict approval procedures, including in what local banquets, in number, each meal standard is much, have one one list. Dinner for this kind of business, do not use personal credit cards, must be settled with the government credit card.

Parliament and local councils to control public drinking is not only strict supervision, also established many related laws, among which "toothpick act" (toothpick rule) is the most famous. According to this law, enterprises or industry lobbyists are not a banquet please officials to eat, can only ask them to take part in the party. The reception all food can only use a toothpick or finger take and eat (as "finger food legislation" to also have said), there shall be no formal meal.

The dinner is a way of communication Chinese most habits, America civil servants accept please do eat? Here's a small example: an employee of the Ministry of agriculture, her husband is a computer engineer department of agriculture contract the company, the company all staff and their families at the end of the conference, the Ministry of agriculture, the employee can participate in this activity, receptions, but this employee after some work will be limited, with the Ministry of agriculture and the company business in which employees could stand aside.


Public funds on business, detailed provisions uses include flight integral

 

USA federal departments to each public funds on business has a very stringent requirements, public funds on business must follow two basic criteria: really out of business; the least cost. In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Code of "travel", USA civil servants can take the first-class cabin only under special circumstances. First, business is disabled, in the economic cabin can not facilitate activities. Second, there is an important meeting or participate in activities, must be arrived within 24 hours, in this time period cannot be set to economy class. Third, carry important confidential documents, or agents of followers, to American unfriendly countries. Among them, take the first-class cabin civil servants must provide written proof of the hospital and must be reviewed once every two years. If you are unable to get the economy class, must provide the major airline ticket information.

USA official travel, time in less than 14 hours, usually only fly economy class (not including ministers and other special characters). In accordance with the provisions of the State Council USA, this 14 hours including flight time and at the airport waiting time (2 hours, 3 hours on domestic flights, international flights). In addition, USA departments also to travel on business the mileage points have different provisions, the Ministry of agriculture to allow their employees to use public funds to travel for miles for private purposes; Ministry of Commerce and the State Council only allows the integral for official travel, the Ministry of Commerce allowed by integral upgrades; Department of Defense is not allowed to use any form of integral.

American official travel accommodation standards are divided into two kinds, the domestic business and international business. Every year America the embassies and consulates will develop American civil international business standards according to local conditions, after the General Services Administration approval after it became a formal standard. This standard is extremely detailed, specific city will be a national standard, and every year according to the price index adjustment.


Public transport, Koumen pull into the parking fees, relatives take to heavy punishment

 

In American, so-called bus consumption actually includes three kinds: open the public car, drove his car for business purpose and car rental office. The first case, very rare. According to the "federal steward" of the Federal Office of Management Bureau statistics, the sum of USA various departments of the federal government official car number only 652000 cars. This data not only include cars, buses and trucks, including manned vehicle, ambulance, postal car etc.. The state government, official car is often less than a million cars. USA bus not only a small number, apply for the use of very troublesome, the applicant need to explain the reasons and after approval. For example, only the minister in the Ministry of agriculture, USA, authorized by the security and law enforcement personnel as well as a day to different locations work before they can apply for the use of the bus.

"To use the government cars for private purposes", penalty is severe. The federal government, civil servants if "inappropriate" use of official vehicles will be suspended for more than a month. If the "improper" behavior is affected by their superiors approved, boss also will be "guilt" suspended. A typical case is the Wisconsin civil servant, Mrs. Simon Halsngen took his car to go to work, the result is another report, immediately by the State Office buckle to fuel allowance for 6 months, 6 months, stop exercising economic law senior consultant qualification and power, as a "scandal" recorded in my credit file.

When the civil servants in the use of private cars on duty, car reimbursement standard is US $0.55 per mile, motorcycle is $0.52 per mile, topping $91 a day. The various departments in their bus use manual will emphasize the standard, is using the car as a unit, rather than by unit.

American commerce department employee handbook stresses in cheaper than a taxi, only confirmed cases, civil servants can car rental office. The government will reimburse the cost of renting, but not for traffic tickets and overtime parking and other expenses. For the car rental business from the parking fee, fee standards stipulated by Ministry of Commerce of the State Council for $8 a day, $12.


Officials don't want kept woman, love exposure is fatal

 

In American, you not officer, looking for ten eight lover, a few real kept woman, that is completely your personal affairs, others have no right to interfere. If you have a some official appointment, once your sex scandal was exposed by the media, then you only have to resign, or face impeachment.

Edwards this is a political star in the Democratic party. He served as North Carolina senator, run for the presidency in 2004, second in the Democratic primaries, Kerrey was eventually won the party's nomination for the vice presidential pick. In 2004, Kerrey announced the day after the election defeat, Edwards's wife Elizabeth was diagnosed with breast cancer. The wife of Edwards began to take more care, and their own hands a woman named Rielle Hunter cameraman carry on a clandestine love affair. The autumn of 2006, Elizabeth found that the affair, ordered Edwards's off, and urged him to prepare for the 2008 presidential election. Edwards and personal assistant Andrew Young mishang countermeasures, the final decision by a die hard supporters, banking giant Rachel Mellon seed, Rielle Hunter kept down for Edwards.

So. The Edwards affair was soon to seize the media. This is a family tragedy, from peach news quickly evolved into a political affair, a department of Justice investigation, finally the prosecution of Edwards, a total of six charges. If convicted, he faces 30 years in prison, a fine of $1500000. Accused of core is: before and after Edwards spent about $one million buys Rielle Hunter. The money from his friends and supporters, is actually a political contributions. America campaign has strict "political donations act" as a constraint, each supporters donated a limit, money spending must be strictly audit.

In fact, if not his words, rich like Edwards kept woman and not a package such serious consequences. In America, more money could pack the kept woman. But don't think of an officer. Edwards: have a look will know that this isn't a game.

 

Chinese American mayor office in the activities of the board, luxury office buildings built up without

 

A man named Sheran of the Chinese experience in American mayor Montgomerie, quite afford much food for thought. According to reports, Montgomerie city hall office buildings, a building is a reinforced concrete structure of the common buildings, two buildings are all activities of the board. A mayor who office in the activities of the board, an extremely regrets. Does the mayor would not in the luxury office building? Sheran's office in the activities of the board, because the taxpayers 20 years have not agreed to put the money in the construction of municipal office upstairs, so her office in that 20 years ago the build up of the activities of the board. Why taxpayers against, the mayor office building was built not up? The reason is not complicated, because taxpayers have the power to decide the powerful, able to advance and retreat decided officials. Therefore, as Sheran says, as a civil servant, especially the elected officials, it is a desire to serve others, participation is to do the "servant", this sentence has real meaning in the American.

In contrast, over the years, Central Committee and the State Council, give repeated orders and injunctions prohibit the construction of luxury office buildings, but illegal phenomenon still occurred frequently, some places even more outrageous, "White House", "Tiananmen" style luxury office buildings can also imitate, there is a growing trend. In fact, "prohibited the construction of luxury office", is not a day for two days. But why in the following 20 years, luxury office buildings still As one falls, reduce administrative cost has been filed?

Very simple, the lack of external constraints, internal supervision failure, the balance of power shortage, in short, power is not restricted, appear the phenomenon of out of control power. Specific to some government departments, the construction of luxury office buildings, although the look in the eyes of ordinary people, but can not control, only watched a high-rise unpluggingly and case; and the internal constraints and fail, the central government is either empty, or encounter soft resistance; in addition, the system of checks and balances either do not exist, or close your eyes.


USA how the management of civil servants

 

USA civil service is divided into two categories, only the top party appointed by

According to the "civil service classification", USA civil service in several major series, such as government administrative series, uniform series, justice, education, postal sequence sequence sequence, we mainly talk about the government administration sequence of civil servants. The sequence of the civil service is divided into ordinary civil servants and senior civil servants (party appointed civil servants). Senior civil servants to American government ministries and agencies directly under the executive, the senior civil service is divided into 5 levels, the highest high level 1, USA Secretary of state can generally be classified as high grade I, followed by high II, high III, high IV and high V level. Low level than senior civil servants civil servants belong to ordinary civil servants, ordinary civil service is divided into 15 stages, each stage is divided into 10 file, America 85% civil servants belonging to this class.

In general, the federal government the major portion of the first, second in command is assigned by the party. These people are called is gentleman once a courtier, with America Republicans and Democrats in power every four years or eight years. Most of these people are America presidential election merit or thought political relations, the president to return and party interests, will they nominated for ministries and commissions of first, second in command. Nomination, but also get America congressional hearings approval to go to take office. These people after he took office, and then they nominated by each department chief and their assistants.

Ordinary civil servants is American civil servants in the vast majority of. Generally speaking, in the USA civil servant refers to 1-15 level civil service system (GENERAL SERVICES). The senior civil service level 14-15 belongs to the executive level. American federal civil service is divided into administrative, legislative, and judicial three parts, the Department of defense civilian personnel included in the administrative section. According to the statistics of 2006 USA Department of labor, the federal civil service has a total of 2700000, accounting for one point eight seven percent of employment. The executive branch has about 2630000 people, the largest number.

From the USA government annual recruitment of civil servants of the situation, the preferred occupation of civil servants is not american. America Federal Audit Office was investigated in several university students, found that almost all of what is not interested in civil service posts. In the 64 students surveyed, only two said that after graduation can be considered for civil servants.

 

The recruiting fair and open, the back door is unlikely

 

Both the federal government and the local government, in addition to a small number of political appointees and unskilled jobs (such as civil servants cleaners) outside, other civil servants must pass through the civil servant recruitment examination, examination results and only in the first three of the candidates after the interview qualifications, strict implementation of any enters principle.

American civil servant recruitment examination work and follow the principle of openness, fairness. According to the head of state of New York Personnel Bureau Zhaolu Department officials, recruitment is open, prior to a detailed plan, will release positions, recruitment of personnel quantity, basic conditions, wages and other information through the Internet, television, newspapers and other media to the society. Applicants mainly through the Internet to register and fill out the resume and related materials. The civil service recruitment racism is not allowed, not allowed to discriminate against disabled people, as long as they can do the job should make no exception.

American of civil servant recruitment examination, examination paper by computer scoring. Therefore, tuorenqing backdoor will not happen, the overall evaluation of the social high. America civil servant promotion must also participate in the promotion and implementation through the examination to, examination unqualified persons not promotion.

USA government officials and civil servants are two different systems of civil servant, mostly for life, for the civil service for the public examinations, not officials appointed, function is pure technology and service, only "rule" obligations without "discretionary power". While the government officer once the expiration of his term of office, you can leave the government to self occupation, the dry what dry what, unless voters think he is good to his re-election. So the senior officials American not for life, have a strong sense of crisis in office.

Civil service wages in accordance with the law and shall not mess up, private enterprises

 

An important legal basis for the civil service America present salary system came into effect in November 5, 1990, is "comparable federal civil service wage bill", to private companies for the reference to the provisions of USA civil service wage system is the act of. Due to inflation, a civil servant salary every year annual fine-tuning, fine-tuning the standard must be based on private sector wage cost index released by the labor department; but the civil service wage adjustments must be less than the wage cost index by 0.5 percentage points. The law has special provisions, only the president has the right to move to adjust the civil service wage, but must be approved by parliament. The premise that wage adjustments: a national emergency occurs or severe economic conditions affect the Ku times standard of living.

America law also stipulates the civil service salary cap system: ordinary civil servants regardless of any reason, the wage of all projects and more than high I level wages, the wages shall be paid. In addition, the civil service and the private sector and other workers the same federal minimum wage.

A 2008 data display, cap America civil servants when the wage is $191300, and this year the surgeon's salary was $206770; the minimum annual salary of civil servants is $17046. A restaurant waiter wage is $17400. This shows that, America civil servants of the maximum wage and minimum wages are lower than the private sector.

America states consistent with the federal civil service wages. The governor of the average wage is $124398, the lowest Maine is $70000, the California state supreme is $206500. However, a governor or refuse to take any payment for symbolic several States to receive a salary of $1, such as California governor Schwarzenegger, New York governor Elliot, governor of the state of Tennessee Bredesen, New Jersey governor Cozzini.

USA when new China was founded, passed a law: "until an election of Representatives, any change of senators and representatives of the legal compensation for the services, shall enter into force." This is as everyone knows interest avoidance system, who put up wages do not give who salary, should begin to implement the new wage to his successor, this prevents officials in the immoral phenomenon of the people entrusted to their posts do not serve the people well, every day can give yourself a raise.


 

Official property should be publicity, not to declare not post

 

American property declaration system is USA government to promote the product construction of a clean and honest administration, to declare for open declaration and secret report two categories.

Public property declaration according to the government "political appointment" officials, our country is equivalent to a hall, bureau chief position above the officials. People can see the senior government officials property declaration content on the internet. To declare for himself, spouse and dependent children (of an unmarried, under 21 years of age, and parents living together with their children or children) property status. Ethics office America government (English referred to as OGE) deputy director Jan Rey points out, is not submitted to the property declaration, not as a government office. The senior officials of the administrative departments for public property declaration once a year, the equivalent of integrity test. If not timely reporting or provides false information, will face disciplinary action of the Department and other government departments, and may lead to judicial proceedings.

Public property declaration to play the first pass effect in the process of appointment of senior officials. The new president's cabinet nominees candidates must provide to OGE public declaration of assets, once found a potential conflict of interest, such as energy minister candidate has a large oil company shares, the candidate will face two choices: one is to sign the moral agreement, promise to take immediate measures to solve the conflict of interest; two if a candidate is reluctant to commit to dispose of personal assets, which means the nomination of the audit process termination.

Secret property declaration is for the federal administrative position is not high, but in a key position and involve many independent decision making process of the employees, such as relates to equipment procurement, license issuing work post personnel. Their assets are not as "political appointment" senior officials that the public on the network, but OGE for these people's property declaration on audit strictly, to prevent potential conflicts of interest.

The official property of the public system, to provide the public with an opportunity, to oversee the interests of their spokesmen, eliminate corruption. Part of the privacy of the public officer must give way to broader public interests -- anti-corruption, constitutional and democratic social values.


 

Civil servants maximum welfare is stable, no super national treatment

 

America government employees have preferential medical insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, can enjoy the family needs flexible working time, children and the elderly can obtain corresponding care. Every year, every government employees enjoy 10 days of paid holiday, there are 13 days of sick leave, and leave for 13 to 26 days. So, although the government employee's salary is not high, the work is stable, the number of welfare and public holidays are very considerable. To those who seek stable life habit, slow rhythm of life, is not high on the income requirements of the people, the government employee is a good choice. Especially for many ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups or the first generation immigrants, government employees not only stable and easy good benefits, but also enhance their social status, is a very attractive occupation.

Compared with other work, the biggest advantage American worked in government and public sector is stable. No one can estimate the "what's the value of a secure job", but in many job seekers heart, its weight is not light. Although America many civil servants since the financial crisis layoffs, but the government is still the most reliable "employer". In 2009, the proportion of private enterprise employee USA by layoffs and firings accounted for 24%, while the federal government department of the proportion of only 7.7%. At the same time, the private enterprise employees American resigned ratio of 19%, the federal government civil servants to resign the proportion is 2.3%.

And China is different, American civil servants while welfare superior, but there is no "super national treatment". USA without the implementation of the civil service is different from other social groups housing security policies, and rarely caused by public criticism of the government. China Ministry of housing and Urban Rural Construction Policy Research Center Director Chen Huai has published the article said, civil servants housing enjoy "super national treatment" great harm. In addition to the former Soviet Union, no country has civil servants housing enjoy super national treatment "experience", regardless of history or reality, no other example.

 

Civil servant performance appraisal, the "public satisfaction" as the standard

 

American government regulations on civil servant performance management is reflected in the performance management system, is divided into five modules show, that the civil service performance plan, performance counseling, performance monitoring, performance evaluation and performance feedback.

Performance evaluation results America civil servants and punishment strictly tied to performance evaluation: excellent, both material reward, reward, including holiday bonuses; and the spiritual encouragement, promotion, including promotion to the name of a building or natural landscape. The performance appraisal of the unqualified and long-term do not improve, first issued a verbal warning, written warning after is, if not effective, probation, civil servants can be directly fired, is the official servant, although not directly fired, but through other legal means such as Behavior Anomie, a serious violation of discipline and punish, and even removed.

In order to entrepreneurship to transform government has become a trend American government management. The "public" as the "customer" is a wise move, and so, in America government on the reform of civil service management, this idea also confirmed related policies, regulations and laws, and by the Federal Office of personnel management application.

In September 11, 1993 12862nd the government to "set up USA government take the customer as the target service standards" for government agencies and departments all have to provide quality service to the public, including: first, the agency or department confirm who is the "customer", who is; second, to know the variety and quality of public services by the "customer" survey, as well as to the existing services need satisfaction; third, proposed that the service standards for "customer" and the method to measure the performance results; fourth, "excellent enterprise" for customer service "benchmarking"; fifth, in the "excellent enterprise", investigating the employee face in providing services for the customers when the difficult, and their thoughts; sixth, the establishment of the customer service information system and convenient customer complaint system; seventh, provide solutions to deal with the "customer" complaints.


 

Government procurement to clean, lunch to go Dutch

 

The federal government is in the world American various services, supplies the largest buyers. Therefore, the emergence of a large number of specialized services to the federal government's various contractors. These projects from the clean government building health to provide the most modern aircraft, cover and contain everything, Nothing needed is lacking. Government procurement laws and regulations American involved is quite extensive, the federal government procurement regulations, special, and government procurement are directly or indirectly related laws and regulations, up to several 4000, is the multitude. "The Federal Procurement Regulations" is a special government procurement regulations, detailed provisions of the purchase of the most important institutional and policy, the government to government procurement according to the regulations.

"In principle" to balance the public interests and the interests of the contractor is one of the basic principles of government procurement American. Government procurement is to spend taxpayer money, the procurement agency should be assured the public that the cost of tax money is economical, reasonable, legitimate and honest. But in order to control the procurement agency breach of privilege, the laws and regulations of government procurement is also endowed with the Contractor against the government, in order to balance of the interests of both sides. The contractor right is given through appeal, arbitration or litigation to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

The federal government and contractor in the exchanges of gifts, to accept to be very careful. Federal law clearly stated, the annual civil service from a contractor (or other private enterprises) where one can only accept less than $20 dollars, the annual cumulative from the contractor there cannot be more than $50 dollars. So $20/$50 is an important standard. If the contractor lunch, must go Dutch on Christmas Eve; if you get a box of chocolate, the best and colleagues to share.

If the official illegal what would happen? An independent body in every department of the federal government, called the office of the attorney general. If is the organ in Chinese in set up a commission for Discipline inspection. The attorney general's office has independent investigation and filed power according to law; if the violation of civil verdict convicted, he (she) will likely lose civil servants qualification, or other sanctions by law.

 

Civil servants must keep "political neutrality", maintaining the fair

 

America during the election campaign, all parties for their candidates. However, in America and not all of them at any time, any place can express their views on the presidential election. In order to maintain a neutral object, civil population American is restricted.

"Pendleton law" established several important principles, American civil service system in which, "political neutrality" refers to the principle: the civil service is divided into government officials and business service (Civil Service), government officials are appointed by the president and senior civilian officials with the party together, in addition to government civil service outside of all civil government are business Civil Service (the civil service). Business civilian political neutrality, the term is not permanent, together with the party. The civil service is a party, but may not participate in political activities of the party. Officials are not due to any reason to political parties or stress civilian civilian donation and participate in political activities.

Civil participation in political activities are limited to a certain extent, this is due to the special status of the civil service. Effect of reducing administrative officials to people's political leanings. Can better safeguard the political justice, justice. While the civilian my politics, political attitude is not restricted.

In 1939 Congress passed further restrictions on civil political participation Law -- "Hatchie method" (the Hatch Act), the civil service "political neutrality" principle is more clearly defined. It provides detailed the doings of civil servants:

In the government or in the execution of public property, public servants do not wear the support of a political party card, badge; the government property, civil servants shall not post or the distribution of a political party political posters, flags, hats, post, badges and other; in the civil service office, not post show Party candidate photos, pictures posters, or any other Party rally; civil servants may not have political posts or other items in the government's vehicle outside the poster or show; civil servants shall not use government computer, telephone, mobile phone, e-mail and any communication tools to engage in any political activities.

 

Civil servants sexual harassment zero tolerance, speech movements need to be cautious

 

Sexual harassment, is the federal government's zero tolerance event. "Today you dress too sexy." If in the office, civil servants said to a female colleagues, it is possible to accept sexual harassment, if took a female colleague that physical contact, is likely to have trouble, words, actions, or even tone are very cautious.

There is such a case: on a hot summer day, a very little wear female subordinates reporting to an official work. Female subordinates a door, Daniel shut the door, female subordinates turned away, went straight to the office of the director Daniel to be impolite to her. "". Although, the charges of sexual harassment is not established, but in the end, Daniel quietly retired.

Prohibition of sexual harassment is one of the civil rights act of. Americans are very used to put some private photos and decoration in their work environment, the general office, the master will put all sorts of amplification of the family photos, there are a variety of his love of decorative painting and pictures, all kinds of, what are. But if you put a naked, scope is "sexual harassment". For example, different gender have different perceptions and understanding for a joke, for a "joke" whether to belong to the "sexual harassment", it's OK, listen to the "joke" a feeling of. That is to say, you're a joke when, no matter how you think is "no", just listen to this joke that uncomfortable to hear, think you are in the "sexual harassment", you can make sure you are "sexual harassment".

Doubly guilty servant bribery, corruption cost

 

Despite the social gift giving trend, but America civil servants are less vulnerable to erosion, because the legal system of civil servants in American, bribery "doubly guilty".

In 2009 July, America Federal Bureau of investigation uncovered a massive corruption case "frightful to the ear.". New Jersey's 3 city, scroll into one, Kamala's mayor accepted 25000 dollars, El, mayor and mayor Suarez bribery $10000 each.

In order to solve the case, the FBI undercover in 10 years, it increased by more than ten people initially to 300 in late. According to estimates, the federal government cracked the case cost $about 20000000, is 400 times the amount of money involved.

American corruption regardless of the cost, as is set up a warning effect of anti-corruption. When investigating the case of the FBI agent Ward said: "American public civil servants must maintain the absolute honesty, so any corruption will be investigated and punished mercilessly."

According to the relevant provisions American "federal bribery law", whether government officials bribes belongs to "heavy bribery" or "light bribery", can be equivalent to the property value of 3 times the fine, or can be sentenced to 15 years in prison. The "severe" including vice director Reagan's White House Office Deaver, he used the power of it, government officials and federal lawmakers matchmaking, contributed to the large business from personal gain, was eventually sentenced to 15 years in prison.

 

Balance of legal rights and obligations of civil servants, to safeguard their own rights

 

American civil servants are government to grant rights, including the right to equal employment right of examination, and other basic rights and political rights, the right to free speech, Shen Suquan; and to fulfil its obligations, is honesty, discipline, loyalty to the state, the property declaration etc.. Keep a balance between rights and obligations, to prevent the abuse of power. The rights of civil servants through civil service unions to protect. In Wisconsin the office of personnel management, each year more than 1000 civil servants accepting state complaints, complaints have a definite answer every.

In America, if you have no justification and evidence they abuse of government civil servants, the government civil servants can sue you. The most typical is, in USA if the police stop you accept the check, if you don't cooperate with me, so the police can shoot.

The legal protection of civil servants of administrative importance can not be ignored. Firstly, the direct purpose of legal protection of civil servants is the protection of the civil servant individual legitimate rights and interests are not infringed upon the administrative institutions. Secondly, there are the balance of power and administrative rule of law contributes to the entire organization of civil protection. By improving the legal status of civil servants and asked the leadership to civil punishment strictly abide by the law, discretion in civil law limits the organization leadership, forcing them to administration according to law. If allowed to leadership arbitrary exercise of personal power subordinates to punishment upright, it will produce the bad influence, and lead to moral crisis administrative system of the whole country. Finally, the legal protection of civil servants is also the effective way to improve the quality of civil servants and personality consciousness. No other means can cultivate the independent personality of civil servant than formal and solemn legal procedures. Each state officials must be aware of the highest loyalty, they represent the interests of the state law, rather than the superior leadership; client they not institutions can be disposed of, not blind to the orders of superiors machine.

Civil law and the authorization of administrative litigation is the best safeguard means civil servants interests and moral quality. In fact, an honest and law-abiding civil service is to ensure that the most reliable power of administration according to law.

 

The idea behind USA consensus of the civil service system

 

The government has a moral "original sin", essence is easy to corrupt

 

The government is a tiger, you must put it in a cage. The philosophical basis America moral construction of the civil service, is mainly based on "human nature is evil" assumption, that man is a rational economic self-interest, there will be selfish, regardless of a person how high moral standards, will be private interest, are likely to make immoral behavior. Therefore, only by ethical preaching is useless, must depend on the rule of law constraint. In fact, this set of philosophical foundation and governing official virtue is feasible and reliable.

Zhang Mengzhong put forward three hypotheses America public administration, the first hypothesis is described in this way: "become the majority of the United States of America will people as essence, easy to corrupt. Similar to the Christian theological terms' original sin ' . Based on this assumption, the founder of suggestions, the distribution of public power should be avoided for individual corruption opportunities. From this point of view, can understand about the rights of control and equalization claim. The balance of power can be said to be the structure of trellis to human weakness."

The beginning of the founding of the USA, news began to criticize and blame the president. But before twentieth Century, the president has been higher in USA America people of prestige. Until after the twentieth Century Nixon Watergate, "the president is USA model" moral people American of myth in America people disillusioned. Therefore, the establishment of early American supervision president moral principles that have a certain predictability.

After the civil war in USA rapid economic development of the "progressive era", the spoils system, low efficiency, it is difficult to curb corruption phenomenon, caused by the reform of the civil service system for the government reform movement leader. In 1883, Peng Carleton is milepost management America government organization from the spoils, appoint people by favouritism change to focus on performance, appoint people on their merit, is the symbol of the establishment of American civil servant system, laid the foundation for the civil service ethics behavior constraints. After 100 years, American in different historical period, have different "reinventing government" efforts, including civil moral restraint is always a new topic. The metaphysical foundation of this new topic is moral "original sin" said.

In conclusion, the moral of "sin" is based on the theory America civil moral behavior constraints. Congress and the administration of moral law is USA civil moral behavior restraint tool. In the final analysis, America civil moral behavior constraints fundamental strength from America people.

 

The occupation moral rise to legal height restriction

 

We must put the occupation moral behavior of civil servants up to the height of the law, can we truly constrained unethical behavior of civil servants, improve the occupation moral level of civil servants. In this regard, American models.

In 1883 through the "Pendleton law", established the legal basis for the establishment of the civil service system USA. In the next 100 years, America successively by all kinds of laws, strict definition of civil servants in the ethics and code of conduct to make.

USA promulgated the "acts of government officials, the moral law" in 1978, the law was amended in 1989 to "moral reform law", promulgated in 1991, "American administrative department employee moral norms", the law becomes the action guide of civil servants. Not only that, the State Council, the Ministry of national defense and the Congress and other agencies are also introduced the internal code of conduct, many states have enacted ethics government employees, which further refinement of civil service integrity requirements.

Such as: all senior government officials announced the property income and expenditure; to modify the property declaration, the declaration stick out a mile. The provisions of the federal judges must comply with the federal government on conflict of interest management regulations. ③ prohibits government officials, judges and lawmakers gifts or free. The prohibition of members and senior government officials to participate in the company's board of directors. The provisions of the government officials to non wage income may not exceed the wage income of 15%. The senior government officials and members of Congress left, one year may not use its relationship with the government is engaged in lobbying activities or the use of non public information to seek the interests. The prohibition of MPS using campaign funds to pay for personal expenses. The expansion of independent prosecutors permission, makes illegal the can independent survey members.

As can be seen, the ethics in government act on the "official" all major aspects from the national law to be strictly careful specification, form the system of civil moral law systematically scientific rigor, easy operation, strong dynamic, the civil servant can do what, not what you can do and how to do it, will be what punishment are strictly stipulated in violation of the provisions of. Training in a premise of methods available, but is a know Xiao law training, not just a moral, persuasive moral suasion.

 

Officials at all levels is the people's choice of power, Parliament

 

Officials at all levels USA are local people elected their own, not the above appointment, American president cannot appoint governor, the governor can not be appointed mayor, not to mention the lifting and recall. The governor, the mayor appointed, lifting and recall all local people's parliament say.

American president to order people about by arrogant in the world, but in the domestic power small, any action, the president's spend every penny to congressional approval, without congressional authorization, he can't do anything be nonplussed over sth.. America president to President of Panama caught America trial, but a common mayor America can not buy his account. The UN's 50 anniversary celebration, the mayor of New York, the leaders held a concert. Before the concert begins, the mayor has put President Clinton invited guest Arafat "please" out of the theater, the reason is that it "terrorists", spirit Clinton fulminate with anger, but it is limited to the angry, the mayor's decision he feel helpless, have to apologize, he even New York city are not representative, because New York city mayor Clinton when he was not selected. So in the USA not "buying" "officer" phenomenon, because the government is the people's choice, not the boss to run, also be equal to "go"; will also mean "to white".

The ability to tame America people government appreciated. The democracy government operations should be restricted by various aspects, of which the most important constraint is on behalf of the people exercise power of the parliament, any government policy must be approved by parliament to take effect, the government spent every penny, must be approved by parliament. Therefore, in USA civil servants put forward to their own wages, they think this is a joke, even kindergarten doll to laugh, because their teeth are not Zhang. The civil service is a servant, your servant can oneself give oneself determine wage? The servant wage to the master say, master according to the servants working ability, work performance and master their income to determine the servant's wages.

 

Equal consciousness is very strong, officials do not regard oneself head and shoulders above others

 

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg every day going to work in the most dangerous in the world on the New York subway, not the Secretary and other government officials accompanied, no security guards. Because the work time of subway people, he is often a way station to the town hall, even someone recognized him, also won't give him up, not to mention the bow and scrape, active please.

USA relationship between the government and the people of equality is a two-way street, both sides have enough consciousness, officials do not think they regard oneself head and shoulders above others, ordinary people will not feel inferior. Equal consciousness this powerful but not born, nor is it based on personal moral sense, but by the system and the national overall values to create.

American subordinate did not care about the phenomenon of the higher authorities, in contrast to the inferior to the superior Chinese follow around, always do as one is told of the officialdom culture. Provisions of this should be attributed to the 1950 Performance Assessment Act: any office are ordinary post, the government to hire this person on the job, he just needs only in accordance with the law on the job description to work -- and to receive a higher level, has not be within the scope of the work function of any post.

Voters elected officials are responsible to the voters, rather than for an individual, there is no need to deliberately please superior. Even appointed officials, between the upper and lower levels is also a kind of employment relationship, as long as I do my duties within the scope of the business is the maximum charge. Therefore, USA subordinate can not superior.

 

American government also has another side

Government inefficiency but try to housing vulnerable groups

 

Over the past 30 years, with the progress of science and technology, performance standards are strict and increasingly fierce competition, manufacturing, retail and other work in the USA every professional field office had experienced productivity increase stage. However, this process and the public sector seems to have no too big relations. Some experts believe that, American public sector employee labor productivity than other practitioners in the field behind at least 10 years. USA McKinsey Global Institute. A recent study showed that, if the public sector is able to fill the gap, America each year could save $100000000000 to $300000000000.

Recruitment principles USA government is, in the most extensive range of priority for the most provide a relatively stable occupation of people in need. These are most in need of low education level, the disabled, veterans, the elderly, minorities and the workplace lost competitiveness of various sources. The recruitment system caused by the government departments work efficiency to a certain extent, but also played a very good, stable society.

Most of the time, government departments and even become the care of vulnerable groups "". In the past, black is the largest group of government employees; in recent years, Chinese and other ethnic minorities in the government sector the proportion also began to rise. A USA government employee has described in his autobiography, American government just a little like a stronghold of vulnerable groups in many ways, you can be an easy job to put these grassroots government employees to find out from the crowd: dress, the total is not in place; speech and deportment, often can let you feel at a loss; as for the body characteristics, it more obvious, are two small, intermediate big olive - because the perennial sit, repeated daily trivial monotonous work, due to lack of exercise and activity.

Some people think that, American civil service system to a certain extent, as the vulnerable groups of the welfare system, education is not high, who have a disability and age is not dominant and so on, can be admitted to a civil servant, to get a relatively stable occupation. They have no more dreams, nor put fine timber to petty use does not meet, they are engaged in public service work quietly, waiting for retirement.

 

Political donations behind the interests of the exchange, let the legal embarrassment

 

America law allowed to accept donations. Only the strict rules, America election law, political donations for a particular candidate (commonly known as "hard money") in an election on every presidential and congressional candidates donation limit is $1000, the individual in an election for the party to donate money not exceeding 20000 the dollar; used to political action committees are capped at $5000, each person allowed to donate funds can not exceed the total amount of 25000 dollars; donations exceeding $200 to have the detailed record. Business or trade unions had been banned direct contribution to help candidates for Congress and presidential candidate for the election, but they could form a political action committee and individual support group to raise funds for the development of political parties (commonly known as "soft money"), the amount is not restricted. Although the "soft money" can not be directly used for individual candidates, can only be used for political parties and organizations at all levels to mobilize votes, but the essence of what is the difference between them. In 2010 January, the Supreme Court ruled that the abolition of America limits large enterprises to provide political contributions. Political donations are never "public funds", there must be a benefit exchange, this is the law of American embarrassment.

Provide funds to support these interest groups political contributions not only for the campaign, has opened a special channel to Capitol Hill and the white house more interest group itself, as well as on the formulation of policy American influence channel. Because, regardless of the party in the White House, Capitol Hill or in the majority, will have a significant influence on the USA government policy. In order to repay the money owners generosity, these parties and politicians will make or take some for their own gold master policy. These interest groups in both the consortium USA, different countries and regions more of the world.

The huge political contributions not only easy to induce people to "tricks", but, because the political contributions in many cases accepted bribes and fuzzy boundaries, as long as there is no obvious interest exchange and the price, a lot of people have their own bribery to political donations, to get off. Despite the political donations necessary regulatory system has become a consensus, but it is difficult to regulate political donations, relevant laws and there are always loopholes, which also appeared a lot of political donations scandal.

 

Senior officials "show popular culture"

 

Department director level employees is "political appointees", does not need to pass the exam, but by the governor or the parliament approved the appointment, also called administrative officer. Government officials generally have good educational background, can be a clever, capable of, have the broad political pursuit, hope some day in the future to enter parliament, and even run for president. Like the show is this group of senior officials.

Ninety in the evening talk show program was born, rule American Officialdom "show flourishing culture". Popular late night talk show, led directly to the 1/3 Americans sleep time. Today, as the nation's most trusted man is not Obama, not Biden, but "the daily show" host John Stuld, a night on average 2000000 viewers on time sitting in front of the television to wait for his political comedy show.

This is only a short 20 minute program called "another American government out of the white house". People no longer know current affairs through sit square news show, but the show's satire, parody and politicians guests with political. The guest interviews are often only 5 to 10 minutes, of course, no time for a serious work, is the greatest degree can do more manufacturing topics and display personal charm in every detail, including dress, behavior, jokes, stories, detonation privacy. In short, let the audience laugh, let the audience feel good, let the audience gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory, let the audience willing to pass from mouth to mouth is the ultimate objective. Soon, in order to keep their audience, serious news traditional broadcasts also began to learn from the talk show programs, speed up the process, introducing the entertainment elements, allowing officials like star, debaters, comedian, even the lover of the public.

USA officialdom increasingly nasty "show culture" that American people to America government feelings grew beyond mistrust. To avoid the essence and escape from the reality of the political words and deeds led to escalating negative emotions: disgust, contempt, disgust, indifference, even crazy, hate.

But the Americans on this runaway officialdom culture is not responsible for the show? In USA society, most contemptuous character is not frivolous, rude, ignorant, but boring. The highest evaluation of a person is not hard, smart, honest, but have a good sense of humor and fun. USA Officialdom "show culture" is actually derived from, catering and use of this kind of value orientation of american.

 

"The president American a dear", officials in political family

 

Open more related to genealogy, we are surprised to find: almost all of the America president, has "the relation between each other". The original American leadership had a close "nepotism".

Genealogists said, "dear America president a" situation for many Americans, not surprising. Because many Americans ancestors were from England, has 44 USA president, mostly British and Irish descent, but more than half of British Royal blood. From the serious point of view, American rule is always some small political family. In a relaxed point of view to pay attention to words, relationships USA president's family, but should we Chinese "is a" view five hundred years ago.

In the 44 American president, 24 presidents and at least another kindred president, but only 2 of them is through marriage to find a political tree, the other 22 are born with politics, accounted for 51%; 30 (70%) political background, 20 of them the political figure's son, the 2 is a nephew or grandson political figures. Less than 1/3 of the president has no family political background, accounting for visible minority. That is to say, most USA president is relying on family background.

Of course, USA so-called "political dynasty", to some extent, not political heritage, not on the blood relationship, between father and son of the political power of the natural transition. It is more of a family of several generations of people concerned about politics long time, special complex of several generations of people have an obsession of political power, several generations of people to pursue political power as their biggest purpose in life. The family of a generation to the next generation will leave some political legacy, the legacy of political experience, including in political affairs interpersonal basic and necessary wealth accumulation. To have money is the basic condition for American politics, what role in the political arena is not possible without money, can not mobilize social resources for what his political aims. As American "first family" a book author Carle Anthony said: "the dynasty was not established luck. A dynasty to ambition, money and planning. America thinks he is a democratic country, but if your family rich, powerful, aspiring, so the White House will be higher than many others."

 

Conclusion: the hope that one day, in the China officer than in the America officer difficult

 

In the power of the world, there is always someone is in charge of branch of butter. If you want to eat butter, you need to focus on their. This is general American officialdom. So, China and America what different?

The biggest difference, is the final and most important different distribution of butter. The most important Chinese butter distributor has been a history of the emperor, the second is the superior leadership and the leadership of the eyes and ears, and America politicians need to voters. As the eyes and ears of the voters, media staring at politicians and bureaucrats, so, they must please and beware of media.

America than in the Chinese officer to officer. Their opponents too much, they need to curry favor with the people too much, so need more careful and more knowledge. Conversely, in Chinese was not so hard, one reason for this is probably Chinese official enthusiasm than Americans.

 

Nowadays our country's civil service exam showed "a powerful army crowded single plank bridge" event, what are the reason, we do not know, but some people do not want to admit that. America civil servants what when, why American no agitation "Qiu Guan" mood, may have been a lot of people do not know, but there are also some key, just pretended not to know, or deliberately a contemptuous disregard.
