Personnel administration plays an important role in administration, and the personnel management system of public officials is the heat of public management. Asymmetric information causes problems in various markets dealing with specialized knowledge and skills. Labor market related to the personnel management system is one of those markets.

Secondly, this paper takes up some appointment systems from the personnel management system of local governments, and analyzes them from the viewpoint of asymmetric information. As described above, this paper argues that the problems of asymmetric information have occurred in various places of the personnel management system of local governments. In addition, this paper argues that the trust built in the long-term relationship in the personnel management system improves the problems of asymmetric information.
