1930. NEW ZEALAND,

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER (EIGHTEENTH REPORT OF THE).

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

To His Excellency the Right Honourable Charles, Baron Bledisloe, Member of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, GovernorGeneral and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Dominion of New Zealand and its Dependencies. May it please Your Excellency,— As Commissioner appointed under the Public Service Act, .1912, I have the honour to submit the following report, as required by section 15 of the Act.

REPORT. The Administration of the Public Service. Throughout the year careful attention has been given to the manifold problems that arise in connection with the general administration of the Public Service Act in regard to the staffing of the various Departments, the dealing with appeals against promotions, the prosecuting of inquiries in regard to retirements and the filling of vacancies, the taking of disciplinary action where necessary, the conducting of investigations into irregularities, and the giving of constant thought to matters associated with the organization of Departments with a view to improved efficiency and greater economy. Particular attention has also been given to the question of curtailment of departmental expenditure, the state of the Dominion's finances having rendered it imperative that expenditure should be confined to the lowest practicable limit compatible with the efficient administration of Departments. In this connection there has been close collaboration with the Treasury in matters pertaining to departmental expenditure, special attention being given to expenditure relating to staff. Regrading and Classification. When last year's report was submitted the quinquennial regrading of the Service as provided by section 17 of the Public Service Act, 1912, was nearing finality. This was duly completed, and a revised classification list was issued on the 21st February last. The salary gradings embodied in this list were subject to the right of appeal by dissatisfied officers within one month of date of publication, consequently, in addition to ordinary administrative duties, it has been necessary to devote a considerable amount of attention to dealing with regrading appeals. It was pointed out in last year's report that the five-yearly general regradings did not imply an automatic raising of standards of salaries, as was contemplated by many officers. It is more in the nature of a periodic taking-stock of affairs,

or a systematic revision, to ensure throughout the Public Service a proper and consistent relativity between positions. It also affords an opportunity for a periodic review in a comprehensive manner of the activities of the various Departments and the duties of individual officers. Independently of the quinquennial regradings, a continuous process of classification follows by reason of reorganizations of Departments and changes from time to time in the scope and nature of duties of officers. Also, whenever vacancies arise as the result of retirements or otherwise, all possible avenues of reorganization with a view to curtailment of departmental expenditure are explored. In some cases, as a result of the elimination of a classified position, greater responsibility devolves upon another officer, justifying a regrading of his position. In other cases a partition of duties may be followed by the creation of lower-graded positions. In consequence of these inter-quin-quennium adjustments, and also the fact that the system of classification has been in vogue for nearly two decades, the number of appeals has diminished at each successive regrading. The comparative figures since the first classification of the Public Service in 1913 are as follow : — 1913 .. .. 1,457 1924 .. .. 863 1919 . . . . 996 1929 .. . . 503 Summary of Appeals dealt with, Ist April, 1929, to 31st March, 1930.

Decisions recorded.

Efficiency of the Service. The efficiency of the Service has been maintained at a high standard throughout the year. The essentials of efficient management in any phase of executive activity, be it State or private enterprise, are proper organization, economical working, and a reasonable devolution of responsibility. In these respects it can confidently be claimed that the Public Service compares favourably with outside concerns. Sir Henry Bunbury, K.C.8., recently made the following observation in regard to the English Civil Service : — " When one considers administrative processes in the light of the principles of the rationalization movement, the first thing that strikes the attention is the quite remarkable extent to which these principles are applied, and have in some cases long been applied, in the Public Service. The Civil Service is, I believe, at any rate in its more progressive Departments, a good way in advance of the generality of business concerns." There seems to be a growing approximation in the principles and practice of personnel management, planning, and general organization of large-scale public and private concerns respectively. It is sometimes suggested that the non-competitive and more or less sheltered nature of the Public Service tends to dull the edge of enterprise, and does not provide the incentives that underlie the hope of profit, as in private business. There are State trading Departments where the urge of service for profit is just as potent as with private enterprise, and in non-trading Departments there is a tradition of disinterested and efficient service which not

only commands respect and appreciation, but is itself conducive to the best results. From a close observation of the staffs in either branches of the Service I am satisfied that they are equally efficient. There are two phases to every Public Service —the economic and the social. The economic side demands efficiency that may be checked up by means of cost accounts and commercial balance-sheets, while the social, though it may not follow a policy that conforms entirely to purely business ideas, also demands efficiency at reasonable cost, and at the same time calls for insight and organizing capacity often of a far higher quality than is required for purely commercial undertakings. Dr. B. M. Laing, in a recent article on the functions of Government Departments, stated, inter alia :— ''It is widely admitted that the work undertaken by the State in recent years has enormously increased, and in consequence a heavy burden has been thrown upon Government Departments. Not merely the work of the latter has increased, but its kind has also altered. The tasks of administration are now such as to bring the administrator up against the varied relationships of the citizen and the complexities of social life." The features of an efficiently organized State Department have been aptly set out by another recent writer, as follows : — " The well-run Department is careful and economical, even in small items of expenditure, and in selective economy between alternate courses of conduct, and especially with regard to guarding against the waste of Government property, stationery, light, heat, and transport. Wherever opportunities present themselves to rationalize or standardize official processes, and so get the best results at lowest cost, it is not found wanting. In spending the money which Parliament has voted, the well-run Department strictly follows the commands of Parliament, and furnishes accurate and intelligible accounts. It is also strict in recovery, and keeps control over departmental leave. A financially well-run Department is in all things, great or small, vigilant in the protection of the taxpayers' interests, and all for economy and efficiency, constantly testing the cost of working the administrative machine by a comparison of the costs of its various institutions." Expansion op the Service. Criticism is occasionally levelled at the Public Service that it is over-staffed. This criticism in most instances is based on a misplaced and generalized assumption, showing an ignorance of the exceedingly wide ramifications of State activity. An ever-persistent demand is made upon Government for the extension of social and other services, but not until the burden of the cost is reflected in taxation is it realized that added service involves increased salary bills. The financial burden of extended social services slowly and steadily grows, remaining more or less obscure and unfelt until, during a period of financial depression, the magnitude of the load fills the taxpayer with apprehension. " Over-staffing," or " financial prodigality " are entirely unwarranted charges to level at the administration, for, as was stated in last year's report, there is a plain reason for the presence of every person employed, and any curtailment is not a matter of organization, but of Government policy. It should be remembered that the unpleasant task of retrenching the nonessential and redundant members of the Service was undertaken during the period of economic depression in .1921. At that time the circumstances rendered necessary an almost ruthless curtailment of all but essential activities, and to accomplish this a comprehensive survey of all practicable avenues of retrenchment was made. Since then a rigid scrutiny of all requisitions for new appointments has been made, and consideration has been given to any possible reorganization of work or readjustment of staff to ascertain whether the filling of any vacancies could be avoided. There has been a definite curtailment of new appointments, except where expansion of business or newly assumed activities have made such unavoidable.' The statistics show that the net increase in the number of appointments during the past year was 148, which was 81 less than for the previous year, while the total classified salaries show a decrease of £6,312 as compared with the previous year. In my report of last year detailed statistics were given to show that the increases

H.-14

in recent years, both in regard to cost and personnel, were confined almost exclusively to developmental services, social services, and trading Departments ; the increases in the purely administrative departments being comparatively small. During the past year just under one-third (47) of the increase in the number of appointments mentioned above is accounted for by additional appointments to the Public Trust Office, due to expansion of business. These salaries do not represent a charge on the Consolidated Fund, and therefore do not constitute a burden upon the taxpayer. Twenty per cent, of the increa.se is due to the appointment of additional trainees for the school dental clinics, in conformity with the established policy of Government in connection with this important social service. Seven appointments arose out of the establishment of a completely new Department —namely, the Transport Department. As an indication of the curtailment of fresh appointments it may be mentioned that, out of 1,734 candidates who had passed the qualifying examination for admission to cadetships in the Public Service, only 223 were appointed. Examinations. The preliminary educational requirements for admission to cadetships in the Public Service are the Public Service Entrance Examination, the Matriculation Examination, or qualification for the higher leaving certificate. Such qualifications are regarded merely as an entrance standard. Officers are encouraged to continue their study along lines likely to equip them for the better performance of their duties. It is the practice to grant double increments on the passing of such examinations as the Law Professional, the Accountancy Professional, and other University degrees, provided the officer is not above Class VI. In certain Departments, where technical qualifications constitute an essential part of the equipment for the efficient carryingout of the duties, salary bars have been instituted, above which officers cannot proceed without having passed a higher qualifying examination. In selecting officers for promotion to higher executive positions recognition is also given to examination qualifications. As an indication of the effect of the foregoing policy on the standard of education in the Public Service, it is interesting to note that at the time when the Commissioner system was inaugurated, in 1913, when the Public Service Act first came into operation, the number of officers who had passed the Law Professional Examination or had attained the degree of Bachelor of Laws or Master of Laws was 43, whereas at the present time there are no less than 198 in the Public Service who have so qualified ; and similarly the number who have passed the Accountant's Professional Examination or attained the Bachelor of Commerce or Master of Commerce degree in the Public Service has increased from 18 in 1913 to 255 at the present time. The number who held engineering degrees or diplomas in 1913 was 159, as compared with 194 in the Service to-day. The number who possess other University degrees has increased from 21 in 1913 to 214. Although there is provision under the Public Service Act for the Commissioner to make special appointments to the Public Service in particular cases of persons holding University degrees or other special qualifications, a cardinal feature of the New Zealand Public Service is promotion wherever practicable from within the Service and equal opportunity for all, merit, and merit alone, being the determining factor. The avenues of promotion are open to all officers who are qualified, and in this respect the New Zealand Public Service is more democratic than the English Civil Service, where all the higher positions are restricted to University-trained men. Entrance Examinations. The usual annual Public Service Entrance Examination for admission to cadetships in the Public Service was held in November, 1929, when 2,557 candidates, including boys and girls, entered for the examination, as compared with 2,462 in the previous November. Of the number presented 1,417 candidates passed the examination, 1,074 failed, and 66 absented themselves from the examination. The examination was conducted at sixty-nine centres, including Suva (Fiji). In addition, in November last, Senior and Junior Entrance Examinations were held in twenty-nine centres for shorthand-typists, for which there were 939 entries, an increase of 106 over the previous year : 599 of the candidates were successful in passing the examinations, 328 failed, and 12 did not present themselves.

The Junior Examination consists of a speed test in shorthand at the rate of eighty words a minute, and in typewriting at the rate of thirty words a minute ; and the Senior Examination is at the rate of 110 words a minute in Shorthand and forty words a minute in typewriting. Candidates are also required to pass a prescribed test in English. Owing to the need for girls with a greater speed to fill higher positions, it was decided to hold last year Intermediate and Special Examinations in the four chief centres, for which there were 113 entries : 24 of the candidates were successful, while 89 failed. The Intermediate Examination consists of a speed test in shorthand at the rate of 130 words a minute and in typewriting at the rate of fifty words a minute; and the Special Examination is at the rate of 150 words a minute in shorthand and fifty words a minute in typewriting. Candidates are also required to pass a test in confused manuscript. Those who desire to qualify as Court reporters are enabled to sit for the examination held by the Justice Department in terms of regulations made under the Shorthand Reporters Act, 1908. Probation. Under section 39 of the Public Service Act, 1912, all appointments to the Public Service were made subject to a period of probation of not less than six months. This period was found to be too short, and since 1921 the period has been extended to two years. Experience proved this to be a very necessary provision, as the theory of probation is that the best test of an appointee's capacity is the manner in which he actually carries out the duties of the position to which he is appointed, and in many instances it has been found that applicants for Government positions have had no well-defined ideas of the kind of work they want or are fitted for, and they have proved to be either ill adapted or entirely unsuitable. In some cases, in order to do full justice to the individual, it has been considered desirable to extend the period of probation, and in order to meet such cases provision was made in the Public Service Amendment Act, 1927, for the probationary conditions to be made more elastic to suit individual cases, with provision to modify the period by way of extension or otherwise where necessary. During the year ended 31st March, 1930, twenty-five appointments were annulled for reasons indicated hereunder. The number in the previous year was thirty-seven. In addition to those whose appointments it was found necessary to determine on the grounds of unfitness, in several cases the period of probation was extended until such time as the Commissioner was satisfied that the appointees were likely to become efficient officers. The reasons for annulling the appointments mentioned above were as follow : — (a) Duties performed unsatisfactorily . . 9 cases. (b) Temperamentally unsuited .. . . 7 ~ (c) Misconduct . . . . . . ' . . . . 4 ~ (d) Absent without leave . . . . .. 3 ~ (e) Health reasons .. . . . . 2 ~ Defalcations. Offences by officers are dealt with as prescribed by sections 12 and 13 of the Public Service Amendment Act, 1927. Minor offences may be dealt with by the head of the Department, but must be reported to the Public Service Commissioner. All the more serious cases are required to be referred to the Commissioner, who may conduct an inquiry himself or delegate his powers to others. In all cases the officer must be specifically charged in writing, and is required to answer the charge in writing. In the case of the more serious charges the officer has a right of appeal to the Public Service Board of Appeal against both" the finding of the Commissioner and the penalty inflicted. The principal classes of cases dealt with, and the decisions arrived at, are as follows : — (a) Misappropriations (3) : Forfeited office. (b) Breaches of regulations regarding handling of cash (2): Dismissed, 1 ; severely reprimanded and leave privileges forfeited, 1. (c) Irregularities in connection with stores (1) : Reprimanded and disrated. (d) Unsatisfactory conduct and work (1) : Reprimanded and disrated. (e) Breaches of discipline (3) : Fined, 2 ; reprimanded, 1.

Herd, Assistant Comptroller, retired on superannuation on the 31st March, 1930. Health Department: Mr. T. A. Hunter, C.8.E., Director of the Dental Hygiene Division, retired on the 30th June, 1930, and was succeeded by Mr. J. L. Saunders, Deputy Director. Mr. Hunter initiated the scheme for the establishment of school dental clinics, and supervised the organization of the Division since its inception in January, 1921. Industries and Commerce, Tourist, and Publicity Departments : When the General Managership of the Tourist Department became vacant on the death of Mr, B. M. Wilson on the 22nd September, 1929, it was decided to reorganize the administration of these three Departments, and when Mr. J. W. Collins, Secretary for Industries and Commerce, was appointed New Zealand Trade Commissioner in Canada on the 14th April, 1930, the Departments were amalgamated and placed under the control of Mr. G. W. Clinkard, M.Com. Mr. Clinkard, prior to his appointment as Secretary to the Samoan Administration, had been Chief Advisory Officer to the Department of Industries and Commerce.

Suggestions por Improvement. Under P.S. Regulation 17 officers are invited to forward, for the consideration of the Commissioner, any fresh ideas or proposals that are likely to improve the organization or efficiency of the Service. Such suggestions made by officers are always appreciated and are given every consideration. In cases where the suggestions possess any intrinsic merit it is the practice to make a small monetary reward. Of the suggestions brought forward during last year in only one case was a monetary consideration granted —namely, W. Berridge, Public Trust Department, for a suggestion in regard to a method of recording certain branch expenditure. Departmental Oppicers on Loan to other Administrations. The following officers have been granted leave of absence from the New Zealand Public Service to enable them to take up duty with the Administrations named : —

Leave op Absence for Education and Training Purposes. During the year the following officers were granted special leave of absence, in some cases to permit them to proceed abroad for the purpose of extending their knowledge and experience, and in others to enable them to pursue their studies : —- Brand, J. G., Cadet, Agriculture Department, Dunedin : To further studies in connection with agricultural science. Freeman, R. G., Cadet, Agriculture Department, Christchurch : To take diploma course at Canterbury Agricultural College. Chamberlain, 0.

Conclusion. In closing this report it is desired to express appreciation of the loyal co-opera-tion and generous support of heads of Departments and officers throughout the Service in an endeavour to secure improvement in organization and increased efficiency in Departments. Thanks are also especially due to the members of my own staff for their loyal and devoted assistance. The iirgent necessity, during the present time of financial stringency, for rigid economy in the administration of departmental services is, I feel sure, fully appreciated by Permanent Heads, and it is satisfactory to note the ready manner in which Departments generally have risen to the occasion to meet the present demands. The traditions of the Public Service are being well maintained, and, although the Public Service of the Dominion is young as compared with the long-established standards and ideals of the English Public Service, there is a growing ethical standard embracing high ideals which augurs well for the future of the Public Service of New Zealand. All of which is respectfully submitted for Your Excellency's gracious consideration. P. Verschaffelt, Commissioner. B. L. Dallard, Assistant Commissioner. Office of the Public Service Commissioner, Wellington, 10th September, 1930.
