The factors affecting the implementation of training and fostering policies for civil servants: A governance context

Civil servants are essential in implementing economic and social development plans in countries worldwide (Van Tuan et al., 2023). Training for civil servants equips them with knowledge and professional skills to effectively perform their duties (Hai et al., 2023). This will help improve the quality of citizen service and ensure professionalism in performing tasks. This study aims to discover factors affecting the implementation of civil servant training and development policies. The research methods include descriptive statistical analysis, and regression analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data collected from a survey of 433 civil servants in Vietnam. Findings in the study include four factors affecting the implementation of civil servant training policies, including: 1) the nature of the policy implementation problem (NPIP), 2) resources for policy implementation (RFPI), 3) the capacity of civil servants, and 4) policy implementation environment (PIEN). The research results are of significance in improving the quality, and efficiency of civil servants. State agencies can refer to this to train civil servants in Vietnam to meet the needs of the people and society in the future.
