Abstract

Abstract The article examines the section of officials in the central administration who belong to the ministerial staff of the Czech Republic. It examines those persons engaged in the creation of analyses, strategies, and management activities. The study is based on original research conducted by the ministries of the Czech Republic in 2013 (N = 1351). The article seeks to discover what the make-up of this group is in terms of gender, age, and education levels at the chosen ministries, as well as to report on the types of experiences the group has had. The analysis shows that ministerial officials are in fact a gender-balanced group of employees, predominately university-educated. The overall median age of employees in all ministries is 42 years. On the other hand, there are certain inter-ministerial differences, as explained in detail in this paper. Based on results of the empirical research, conclusions have been drawn that may also serve as an inspiration for similar investigations in other countries of Central and Eastern Europe that address similar issues as found in the Czech Republic.

捷克共和国中央行政部门的官员是谁？他们从事哪些活动？

摘要本文考察了捷克共和国部长级工作人员中的中央行政部门官员部分。它考察了那些参与创建分析、战略和管理活动的人。该研究基于捷克共和国各部委2013年进行的原始研究（N=1351）。这篇文章试图了解这一群体在所选部委的性别、年龄和教育水平方面的构成，并报告该群体的经历类型。分析表明，部长级官员实际上是一个性别均衡的雇员群体，主要受过大学教育。所有部委雇员的总体平均年龄为42岁。另一方面，正如本文详细解释的那样，存在某些部际差异。根据实证研究的结果，得出的结论也可能对中欧和东欧其他国家的类似调查起到启发作用，这些国家处理了捷克共和国发现的类似问题。

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of Public Policy (CEJPP) is an open-access, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal with primary focus upon analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of public policy. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The aim of the CEJPP is to provide academic scholars and professionals in different policy fields with the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in public policy supported by sound empirical research. The CEJPP addresses all topics of public policy including social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative. Although the journal focuses primarily upon Central Europe, relevant contributions from other geographical areas are also welcomed in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.
