ABSTRACT

The issue of poor performance of the Russian federal bureaucracy is addressed by linking performance to type of official, through analysis of biographical data on deputy ministers and division (departament) heads in five federal ministries since 2012, supplemented by internet searches on behavior, particularly of a corrupt nature. Education, previous career experience, and recruitment, including its timing relative to superiors and subordinates, are analyzed, in order to determine whether officials behave primarily as members of patrimonial teams, as members of problem-solving organizations, as self-serving individuals, as the instruments of capture by commercial organizations, or as servants of bureaucratic agency interests. The data do not strongly support any one conclusion, but problem-solving officials have the strongest presence.

摘要

俄罗斯联邦官僚机构绩效不佳的问题是通过将绩效与官员类型相关联来解决的，方法是分析有关副部长和分部（部门）的传记数据。）自2012年以来担任五个联邦政府部门的负责人，并辅之以互联网搜索行为，尤其是腐败性质的行为。分析教育，先前的职业经历和招聘，包括其相对于上级和下属的时间安排，以确定官员是否主要以世袭小组成员的身份，解决问题的组织的成员，自我服务的个人以及商业组织的俘获手段，或作为官僚机构利益的仆人。数据没有强烈支持任何一个结论，但是解决问题的官员最有势力。
