Analysing the current public employment access system in the public Administration is the aim of this research work carried out by Rosa Maria Ildefonso Huertas, in the department of Administrative Law of the University of Granada, and supervised by professor Federico A. Castillo Blanco. Likewise, the thesis studies the contrast with other existing models of comparative law (Italy and United States) and the private sector, as well as the generation of a series of reflections connected with the teaching acquired as a suggestion to improve the access to the Spanish civil service.
Among the proposals, directions and suggestions indicated in this project, as a result of the research work, they point out a “necessary delimitation of the diffused dividing line between statutory and labour staff, guaranteeing the existence of a minimum common denominator in public employment that includes those regulatory principles of the access, increasing the respect for the principle of adaptation between person and post also called fitness principle, the urgent creation of specialized and independent selection organs, the creation of a guardian organ of the merit system that could be useful as a guide for conflict resolution alternative to the judicial process, and the possibility for future regulations of public employment of excluding some categories or staff groups from the competitive processes.
According to the person in charge of the work it would be important to “match the selection process with the multicultural and multiracial enrichment of the Spanish population, as well as the convenience of articulating a public directive function ad its respective access system, and introducing the use of new technologies and other tools for situation vacant spreading in selective processes giving a real meaning to the advertising principle”.
According to R.M. Ildefonso, the proposals of the thesis could be considered by the persons in charge of the regulatory guidelines of public employment access, “and make progress in the creation of a Statute of the Public Function that responds better to the modernization of the Public Administration and its human resources”.
