LEGAL CONSTRAINTS OF SELECTION OF MANAGING DIRECTORS IN PUBLIC SERVICES SECTOR - CASE OF CROATIA

Public services sector in Croatia employs more than 170.000 people with some of the public sector institutions being among the largest employees in Croatia. That situation imposes the need to select the most capable personnel at the leadership positions. As public sector provides public services, it is under the domain of central state or local municipalities. As such it is highly regulated, mainly by state laws, and to some extent with statutes. This legal framework imposes many restrictions in selection of managing directors that should be responsible for the governance of these institutions but mainly these restrictions do not pertain to management skills and experience in business administration. The logical question is does the legal framework allow governing boards to select truly the best personnel for managing director positions in public sector. This paper is based on the analysis of legal framework of various public institutions and statutes of selected public service sector institutions from the perspective of typical managing director job description.
