Singapore’s civil service ranked world’s best in Oxford University study

Norway came in second, with&nbsp, Canada and Denmark sharing the second place, followed by Finland in second. &nbsp, The United Kingdom ranked shared fifth with New Zealand. Australia was seventh, while the United States shared eighth position with Estonia, France, and Spain.

The second highest-ranked Eastern country was South Korea, in 15th location.

The results were described as” a trumpet call” for politicians to catalyze changes and a “golden opportunity” for civil service to look beyond their own territories as they learn from one another by Professor Ngaire Woods, professor of the Blavatnik School of Government.

” We see true benefit in the Index, not just in what the benefits show but also in the discussions, learning, and development that it can enable and drive, enabling a more data-informed approach to people management reform,” she continued.

METHODOLOGY

The research drew on 82 information items, or measures, from 17 different options.

The 82 measures were spread out across the four regions: Strategy and authority, public policy, regional distribution, as well as individuals and techniques.

Each of these regions had its own set of designs. For instance, cross-governmental engagement would be evaluated under the approach and leadership domain while data usage may fall under the public plan domain. The state would be able to take the top spot in the regional distribution website thanks to Singapore’s superiority in border services and tax management.

The information came from a variety of options that included: The World Bank’s Doing Business statement, Transparency International’s International Fraud Barometer, which measures open opinions of fraud, and the European Institute for Gender Equality’s Gender Statistics Database.
