Why Are There 'Noise' Issues in Dobong-gu's Second Half Personnel Changes?

Dobong-gu Executes Personnel Changes for Grades 4 and 5 on the 26th Afternoon... Predominant Reaction Is That It Is Difficult to Understand at Several Positions

"Personnel is everything"

Personnel matters are especially important in the public sector. This is because personnel decisions in the public sector reveal the future direction of organizational management by the head of the organization.

Dobong-gu (District Mayor Oh Eon-seok) carried out personnel appointments on the afternoon of the 26th for executives at levels 4 and 5 for the second half of this year (effective July 1), which has sparked discussions and drawn attention.

The district appointed four level 4 directors and 29 level 5 department heads and section chiefs.

However, internal confusion is increasing as the Administrative Safety Director, who ranked first among directors, was replaced just six months after appointment.

Also, in the level 5 transfers, a manager who was one year away from retirement was appointed as the Public Relations Policy Manager, raising curiosity about the background. In particular, Manager A, who worked exceptionally hard for one year and six months to promote the district administration of Mayor Oh Eon-seok during the 8th elected term, was assigned to a field supervisory department, prompting questions about the reasoning behind this move.

A key official from the district office said, "There are several unclear aspects in this personnel appointment," adding, "I don't understand what the meaning behind it is."

A fair and predictable personnel culture must be established so that employees can focus on their work.

However, it is also true that there are internal complaints suggesting that a specific individual may have strongly intervened in this personnel appointment.
