陆克文 (2010). 提升公共服务 迎接未来挑战. 西安交通大学学报(社科版) 30(2): 5-11. 黄艳茹、马亮 译 吴建南 译校 讴歌了澳大利亚联邦政府体制的开拓者罗伯特加兰爵士留给澳大利亚公共服务的宝贵遗产,认为他高瞻远瞩的理想,献身公共服务的精神,以及秉承公正、诚信的议会政治传统的承诺,是当今澳大利亚公共服务弥足珍贵的不朽价值观。认为澳大利亚公共服务要想成为世界最佳,就必须将其绩效与世界一流国家进行比较。结合最新的一份咨询报告,从价值观与文化、提供政策建议的能力、提供公共服务的能力、随需而变的能力、组织运行效率和效果、人力资源开发等六个方面,将澳大利亚公共服务同美、英等八国进行比较,明确了澳大利亚公共服务的优势和差距。在此基础上,指出澳大利亚公共服务有待进一步提高公共服务质量,为政府提供更高质量的政策建议,并吸引和留住最优秀的公共服务人才。 Equipping the Australian Public Service for Australias Future Challenges Kevin Rudd Robert Garrans ideal of an outward-looking, engaged public service committed to the Westminster traditions of impartiality and integrity are eulogized in the Oration by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as the enduring values which must continue to be upheld by the contemporary Australian Public Service (APS). He believes if the APS wants to be the worlds best, it must measure itself against the worlds best. Incorporating the results of a latest advisory report, he compares the APS to the public services of eight other nations including the United States and Britain, in terms of values and culture, the ability to provide policy advice, delivery of services, flexibility and agile responses, efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and human resource development. The advantages and shortcomings of the APS are identified, with the conclusion that the APS needs to improve in three key areas: service delivery; the development of excellent policy advice, and planning to ensure it has the highest-quality workforce to meet the challenges ahead. 论文
