Abstract

Deputy Ministers in Canada play a critical role in defining all aspects of policy and operations for their respective departments and also contribute significantly to their government's collective initiatives. While there exists a solid understanding of the roles and functions of Deputy Ministers, there is little perception of how individuals actually shape the position in terms of time management. Understanding how senior executives in Canadian public service organize their time is critical to an appreciation of how they prioritize their functions. Using results from a 2020 survey, this study documents how Deputy Ministers in Canada divide their weeks in terms of personal work and meetings. This study goes further to discern a taxonomy of five time-allocation styles of Deputy Ministers: Operational, Balanced, Managerial, Strategic and HR-Focused.

加拿大副部长的时间管理方式:走向分类
加拿大的副部长在确定各自部门的政策和业务的所有方面发挥着关键作用,并为其政府的集体倡议作出重大贡献。虽然对副部长的作用和职能有扎实的了解,但对个人如何在时间管理方面实际塑造职位却知之甚少。了解加拿大公共服务部门的高级管理人员如何安排他们的时间,对于了解他们如何优先考虑自己的职能至关重要。这项研究使用了2020年的一项调查结果,记录了加拿大副部长如何在个人工作和会议方面分配他们的时间。本研究进一步区分了副部长的五种时间分配方式:运营型、平衡型、管理型、战略型和人力资源型。
