AGU International Journal of Sciences – 2019, Vol (2), 12 – 20 BUILDING THE CRITERIA OF PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES: THE CASE OF COLLEGE OF ECONOMICS LECTURERS CAN THO UNIVERSITY Nguyen Thi Phuong Dung1, Le Thi Thu Trang1 Can Tho University Information: Received: 16/07/2018 Accepted: 07/07/2018 Published: 11/2019 Keywords: Performance evaluation, public sector, lecturer ABSTRACT The research presents the criteria for performance evaluation to public sector employees: the case of College of Economic (CE), at Can Tho University, Vietnam This is an important basis to recognize, to consider rewards to qualified staff in an academic year according to Decree 56/2015/ND-CP dated 09/6/2015 of Government This study applied case study method The result of the research presents four sections: (1) Work performance according to the responsibilities in the contract; (2) Performance according to occupation ethic; (3) Spirit of responsibility to serve the country, to cooperate with colleagues and the awareness of officials’ behavior disciplines; and (4) Performance of officials’ other duties Four sections are divided into 13 criteria Besides, the research results are not only crucial basis for salary, but also the references for organizations INTRODUCTION the amendments in performance evaluation are in Decree No 39/2012/ND-CP supplementing Decree No 42/2010/ND-CP on the law of emulation and commendation; Decree No 65/2014/ND-CP amending the law on emulation and commendation in 2013; and most recently, Decree No 56/2015/ND-CP of the Government on assessing and classifying cadres, civil servants and public employees and Circular No 35/2015/TT-BGDĐT guiding the education sector’s emulation Despite many amendments, the implementation and concretization of these decrees and circulars are still too qualitative for evaluation criteria in public sector Performance evaluation is one of the topics that the managers are interested in because it can help to make decisions for retention, promotion, tenure and salary increases The lack of fairness and transparency in the evaluation process will impact employees’ enthusiasm at work workers, which results in low productivity Performance evaluation scientifically is that all criteria must be measured and determined by the critical figures of key contents for each task Assessing the performance of cadres, civil servants and officials is an important step that has been paid attention by the Government and has been repeatedly revised in order to improve the efficiency of the assessment process in public sector units Some of In the private sector, the performance evaluation is measured based on the profit or target sales 12 AGU International Journal of Sciences – 2019, Vol (2), 12 – 20 which determine the basic salary, bonus, of an individual However, in the public sector, this activity has not been effectively implemented because of respectable mindset This leads to the liability for the work that was psychologically affected, “foot in, foot out” alike This is the reason why many officials become unwilling to work or feel like lack of enthusiasm Therefore, using KPIs to assess implementation process of cadres, civil servants and public employees is a suitable way for performance evaluation Therefore, in the academic year 2015-2016, Can Tho University in general and College of Economics in particular changed the form and proportion of evaluation criteria compared to the previous periods However, the innovation was not been effectively carried out because the evaluation criteria were still very general for example "Completing the assigned tasks, achieving productivity and quality, etc." In particular, it is essential that the managers access their officials fairly by quantifying and concretizing the indicators above Consequently, the study on “Building the criteria of performance evaluation for public sector employees: the case of College of Economics Lecturers at Can Tho University” is a need OBJECTIVE METHOD AND work plan The qualitative analysis method was used specifically in-depth interviews with officials in the College of Economics of Can Tho University Interviews at the College are conducted on people who are believed to be knowledgeable in the field of investigation The interviewees’ work

longer) In order to provide a complete set of criteria, in addition to questionnaires sent to the consulted subjects in the referendum, the research also held a meeting to interview the college leaders In some cases, the study conducted a second and third interview with leaders to clarify the evaluation criteria because the successful application of KPI method must be approved by the leadership board For the rest of the study reference, supplements and responds to information directly related to the work performed by the college staff and lectures The open questionnaire was built based on the form No 03 in the Decree No 56/2015 / NDCP on the content for assessing and classifying officials, public servants and officials After summarizing ideas, the researchers formulated a set of evaluation criteria The study also took more simultaneous interviews with college leaders to build criteria consistent with the goals of the unit RESEARCH 2.1 Objectives of the research The main
