Abstract

<p>In post WWII Japan, civil service system has been based on the position-classification system as the “standard of position”. The National Civil Service Act and the Position-Classification Act ware installed. But, the position-classification system has not been implemented until now. As a result, Civil Service Payment Act was implemented. Another categorization of positions has been used. In spite of the suspension of the position-classification system, it have had implicit functions. In order to reform totally the civil service system, we have to manage the implicit functions.</p><p>The implicit functions are (1) “standard-setting” function for system design, (2) division of the personnel administration competence and (3) agenda-setting and reflection function. If we want to reform the civil service system, we may abolish the position-classification system. We have to coordinate the implicit functions of the position-classification system. The total civil service reform project (2001-2005) did not succeed because of the failure of coordination with the implicit functions</p>
