A Study on the Professionalism of Legislative Bureaucrats: The Case of Committee Staff Directors in the Standing Committees of the National Assembly

Dong-Won Kim; Ko Myeong Chul

This study examines the professionalism of committee staff directors in the standing committees of the Korean national assembly. Although committee staff directors, responsible for reporting the article-by-article discussion and analysis of proposed bills to their committee members, play a critical role in supporting legislative activities, few studies pay attention to their personnel management related roles and functions. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study analyzes survey data from the national assembly secretariat to examine legislative bureaucrats’ understanding of the professionalism of the committee staff directors. The analysis reveals that many Korean legislative bureaucrats regard professionalism as the most important consideration to be a committee staff director. In addition, staff working in administrative positions are likely to emphasize the ability to assist committee operation. Considering that satisfaction with the personnel system for chief committee staff directors is low, this study offers policy recommendations on personnel management for the national assembly.
