3 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The necessity of the thesis President Ho Chi Minh once taught: "Cadres are the chain of the machine. If the chain is not good, not running, the engine is though good, though running, the whole machine is also paralyzed. Cadres who bring the policy of the Government and organizations to implement in the people, if cadres are bad, the good policies can not be implemented. The resolution of the 8th, the 9th and the 10th congresses of the Party considered the issue of building up the contingent of cadres is the most important work in the cause of national renewal. Building a contingent of cadres who are "politically stable, ethical, healthy lifestyle, intellect, knowledge and ability to work in practical activities, connected with the people" is the most concern which determines the survival of our Party and State. This is also reflected in analyzing the situation of cadres, Party members at the XIth Party Congress and especially in the Fourth Central Conference (XIth Congress). At the XIIth Party Congress, the quality of the contingent of cadres, civil servants and officials were evaluated as follows: "The quality and capacity of the contingent of cadres, party members, civil servants and the work of training and using of cadres have many limitations. The rule of law, discipline is not strict. Therefore, in the process of reforming the economic management mechanism from the centrally planned economy to the socialist-oriented market economy in our country, the building of the contingent of cadres and civil servants working on state management in general and contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in particular are both urgent and long-term strategies to meet the requirements of national s construction and development. Up to now, the contingent of civil servants of our country has grown up in quality, increased in number and gained considerable achievements. However, the reality is posing many new problems, especially in the context of international integration and accelerated industrialization and modernization of the country. Therefore, the establishment of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy together with the requirements of title standards and quality of civil servants are becoming increasingly urgent and important. Quang Nam is one of the provinces with relatively stable and sustainable economic growth. Over the long term, GRDP in the province has increased on average 12% / year from 2010 to Average income per capita in 2010 reached 17.2 million, reached 38.3 million by In 2010, the total GRDP in the province reached nearly 24,611 billion, increased 12.2%, reached billion by Industry structure is moving towards

4 2 progress; Value of industry increased rapidly; Service is growing; Importexport turnover in the period increased by 12%/year on average. However, apart from the above-mentioned achievements, Quang Nam has some limitations, includes: the economy is small scale; growth is not commensurate with its potential, unsustainable; Competitiveness, productivity and efficiency are not high; Investment environment is not attractive; Infrastructure is not synchronized; The quality of human resources has not met the requirements of industrialization and modernization. Management of exploitation and use of resources is not yet rational; Situation of mineral resources waste is still common. The human resources of the province are abundant but not effectively used the rate of unemployment, lack of employment is high. The level of technology and capacity to receive the transfer is still limited; people's life is still difficult, economic development is slower than many provinces in the country. One of the many reasons for the above-mentioned limitations is that the work of building contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam has not been effective and reasonable (from recruitment to deployment, evaluation, planning, training, rotation, policy, so on); Due to the weaknesses in both the level and capacity of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy, especially at the provincial level, the effectiveness of leadership and management of economic activities in the province has not met requirements of the development. Therefore, in addition to the guidelines and policies of economic development of the Party and the State, Quang Nam needs to have its own measures, suitable to local conditions for development, in which, building contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy is a great importance issue. This is to overcome the current shortcomings of the current contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam at present. It is necessary to consider this work as the key stages in implementation province's socioeconomic development strategy. Therefore, the issue of building a contingent of civil servants, especially high-quality contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy is not only in line with the socialistoriented market mechanism but also meaningful in building law-based state which is of the people, by the people and for the people, as well as the urgent need in the current process of industrialization and modernization. Based on above situation, I select the topic: "Building the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam province" as a doctoral dissertation, specialized in economic management. 2.

Quang Nam has a natural area of 10,406 square km and a population of 1,460,164 (in 2013). Currently, the province has 15 districts and 2 cities and 1 town, of which 9 mountainous districts (Tay Giang, Dong Giang, Nam Giang, Phuoc Son, Bac Tra My, Nam Tra My, Hiep Duc, Tien Phuoc and Nong Phuoc. Paint); 7 districts / towns in the delta and midland (Dien Ban Town, Duy Xuyen, Dai Loc, Thang Binh, Que Son, Nui Thanh and Phu Ninh); The two cities are Tam Ky and Hoi An Socio-economic characteristics In 1996 Quang Nam province was separated from Quang Nam - Da Nang, the socio-economic situation of the province, as well as the people's life at that time, faced many difficulties, the poverty rate was over 36%, the economic, technical and social infrastructure was weak and backward.after a process of development, with accurate, timely and creative decisions of the party committees and authorities as well as the determination to strive of the

16 14 whole population, the socio-economic situation of the province Quang Nam has made positive changes up to now.the growth rate of total product in the area in the period is 12% / year; compared to 2005, GRDP in 2015 increased 2.3 times. Economic structure shifted positively: Construction industry from 24% to 39.5%; Services from 35% to 41%; Agriforestry-fishery decreased from 31% to 21%. The economic strength of the province has been raised, which facilitated to accelerate the development in the coming time Situation of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy at provincial level in Quang Nam On quantity and structure In the period of , the number of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy at provincial level in Quang Nam remains at an average level of 1,056 people per year. However, due to the need to reduce staffing and improve the machine wasmore streamlined and reasonable, the number of these contingentstended to gradually decrease (despite uneven decrease through years).if the number is 1,128 peoplein 2010, then by 2011 it dropped to 953 people, increased to 999 peoplein 2012; By 2013 it increased to 1,101 people; But from 2014, it was back to the declining trend of 1,090 people and 1,067 people in The gender structure of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam Provincewas unreasonable, because female civil servants were relatively low, less than a quarter of the total; Later years tended to increase (27.55% in 2015) - On the ethnic structure, the civil servants working on state management of economywas Kinh accounting for more than 86%; The percentage of civil servants who were ethnic minority people was low, accounting for only 2% of the total number of contingents of civil servants working on state management ofeconomy (while ethnic minorities account for 7.2% of the total population) On quality In 1996 Quang Nam province was separated from Quang Nam - Da Nang, so the first time, the contingent of civel servants working on state management of the province was both insufficient and weak. The university qualification of the civil servants always had high professional requirements such as Department of Finance (had not reached 50%), Department of Planning and Investment 46%, Department of Industry 52%. However, in the later years, especially in the period from 2006 up to now, the qualifications of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy

17 15 in Quang Nam has made positive changes, particularly from , the number of university graduates and upper university graduates accounted for more than 65%, the ratio of primary-qualificationcivil servants decreased gradually from 10.31% in 2011 to 1.3% in Table 3.5: Qualifications of civil servants working on state management of economy at provincial level in Quang Nam province Targets No % No % No % No % No % No % Total Doctor 4 0,35 0,0 0,0 3 3,0 3 0,3 2 0,2 1 0,1 Master 41 3,6 47 4,9 72 7,2 60 5,4 75 6,9 79 7,4 University , , , , ,8 College 18 1,5 4 0,4 5 0,5 38 3,4 9 0,8 9 0,8 Intermediate , , , , , ,4 Primary 57 5,0 38 4,0 38 3,8 12 1,0 26 2,3 14 1,3 However, compared to the current general requirements of civil servants working on state management of economy at provincial level, Quang Nam still accounted for more than 20% the civil servants working on state management of economy who had not yet reached university qualification( According to the General requirements, university qualification must reach 90-95%).Moreover, the survey on the quality of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in many areas of Quang Nam had not met the requirements of 12-19%, concentrated on the group of civil servants working on state management in the Agriculture; Trade in Services; Finance...).

18 Situation of building the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam province in the period of Content of building and achieved results Construction of development strategies and planning The Department of Home Affairs coordinated with the provincial Party Committee to carry out the development strategy for the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy. Specifically: from 2010, Quang Nam has set up a development strategy for civil servants from the Departments to work on state management of economy. For example, with the Department of Finance, the development strategy took into account that the retirement age from was 10 people and the replacement strategy was 15 people, of which on-the-job training was 8 People, the strategy of attracting competent cadres in this field are 8 people including students with good academic performance at Hanoi Finance University...Or the development strategy for civil servants in the field of state management on agriculture and rural areas has brought about remarkable results, from the starting point of lacking quantity and having weak capacity, the contingent has been improved both quantity and quality up to now. On the work of development planning for the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy at provincial level, especially on the planning of key cadres at the departments and agencies working on state management of economy, the province has planned overall development of these civil servants on each route (tenure) for 5 years. Over the past five years ( ), the province had planned more than 250 key cadres to be appointed to leadership positions in departments, and 195 people have been appointed by the province in accordance with the plan up to now The work of recruitment Prior to the requirement of building a contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy, the province had proposed the recruitment project for this contingent as requirement of the Central. The recruitment process ensured the rules; The recruitment project for civil servants basically met the requirements, specifically: + The province had announced widely on the mass media to recruit civil servants on the field of state management of economy throughout the province; posted publicly at the place of receiving the records of the agency or recruitment unit. + The Department of Home Affairs issued documents to define requirements and criteria for recruitment of civil servants in this field specifically; provided legal regulations for recruiting such as: regulating council s function and council members...

19 17 +The process of organizing the recruitment took place in accordance with the State regulations to ensure the legitimacy, to select equally the right candidates Arrange, use and rotation the cadres - The arrangement and use of the contingent of civil servants working on state management of economy in Quang Nam province had always been paid special attention by Quang Nam's leaders. Most civil servants working on state management in the departments were laid, arranged according to their trained profession. In the process of arranging and using the contingent of civil servants, leaders of the province had many solutions based on the criteria of the principle "treasure talents", inquired about the aspirations and personalities of civil servants to detect and streamline according to each person s forte. The arrangement and promotion of civil servants were qualified according to the principle of "placing people", "having up, having down", "having in, and having out". - Some departments / agencies well implemented the work of cadre s rotation. However, many places had not fully realized the effect of rotation in practice, not properly evaluated how the rotation of the cadres had been over time; the perception and determination of the committees and leaders were not truly consistent, leading to the difference between organization and results in the local areas. Many places were awkward to distinguish the rotation and movement of cadres The work of training and fostering Over the past five years ( ), more than 400 cadres and civil servants had been trained, some of whom had been sent to formal training courses at Da Nang University of Economics, Quang Nam University and National Academy of Public Administration, including the areas of finance and banking, economic management, economic development, tourism management.
