Background and Significance of This Managerial Need
Local government is viewed by many as being slow, inefficient, non-customer service friendly, rule-driven, and non-innovative. This way of thinking has trickled down to local government employees.

    DeKalb County government has many departments that all serve the residents of the county, but most often work independently of each other. As I look at the county operations I did see issues of inefficiencies in the communication of the various departments. It seemed to me that often, different departments were behind or misinformed on information and not every agency was on the same page. I believe that a reason for the confusion between departments can be widely attributed to the lack of definite leadership from the county’s CEO office due to changes in office and uncertainty of the upcoming special

    Some of them that I have personally experienced are mainly when they are not happy with wages. They are not happy with what they are paid and some of them are underpaid for the amount of work they do. This leads to decreased motivation and interest in working and they look for opportunities to take a leave from the work and even pretend sick when they are not. They even look online for better opportunities where they can be paid more for the same work. Secondly, many of the employees in the hospitals have fixed job status for a very long time and when there is no scope for any growth, they get frustrated and it is seen in their performance and when they get any offer from other organization even for the same position with higher salary they tend to move out of the organization.
