碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 新聞研究所 === 100 === In April 2010, the Examination Yuan passed the Draft Amendment of the Civil Service Performance Evaluation Act to the Legislative Yuan for examination. In the Draft, the part that attracted most attention was the “mandatory 3% Grade C” article; after initial examination in the Legislative Yuan the mandatory ratio was lowered to 1-3%, however, the Draft could not pass a third reading. This study found that the Examination Yuan implemented 1% mandatory Class C performance evaluation on a trial basis in 2009 and the process was unreasonable and not transparent, with people who transferred to a new unit voted as Class C or recommended as a “Class C candidate” and someone who was rated Class C believing he/she was a victim of a witch-hunt to stamp out dissent. Even more contradictory was that a specialist from the Civil Service Protection & Training Commission who received a Class C rating during the trial was promoted to section chief in September 2011, showing that the trial made some concrete mistakes. A performance evaluation process that lacks transparency, plus a strict ratio requirement produced the aforementioned ridiculous situation. The author of this study believes that the Examination Yuan should learn from the mistakes of its trial and review the necessity of having a mandatory requirement that 3% of performance evaluations result in a Class C rating being given, and also strengthen the protection and relief mechanism, otherwise, as soon as the Class C article is passed, newly recruited personnel, personnel transferred to a new unit and civil servants of relatively low rank will be impacted, and e the result might even be “bad money driving out the good."
