Abstract

This research focuses on the comparison of selected characteristics
of senior officials from ministries in the Czech Republic and the
United Kingdom. It compares two countries with different systems of
bureaucracy and with different legal backgrounds but with a common
mission among officials within the civil service in the countries
surveyed – to perform their duties effectively. Based on the findings,
the authors have submitted recommendations for public policy as
well as for streamlining of the bureaucratic apparatus.
