Perspectivele perfecționării paradigmei de evaluare a performanțelor profesionale ale funcționarilor publici din Republica Moldova [Articol]

Abstract

This article proposes a reconceptualisation of the paradigm for evaluating the professional performance of civil servants in the Republic of Moldova, highlighting the need for a fundamental shift in the vision regarding the purpose, function, and impact of evaluation processes. Instead of a predominantly hierarchical and formalistic approach, often perceived as merely administrative, the study advocates for a multilateral (360-degree) evaluation model centered on constructive feedback, continuous professional growth, and functional accountability. The aim is to feature the limitations of the current framework—marked by rigidity and formality—and to argue for a modern, participatory, and contextually adapted approach. Rather than promoting the direct adoption of foreign models, the authores emphasize the internal transformation of the evaluation culture with in public administration.
