Survey on the Future of Government Service : Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions , 2015
From the report: “The survey includes 29 questions about the state of the public service. Overall, the federal workforce is capable, but under stress. Federal executives report difficulty recruiting and retaining the best employees. Furthermore, merit is often not sufficiently incorporated into promotions and, especially, dismissals. Survey results also reveal substantial variation among agencies; some agencies have a high capacity workforce while others struggle to successfully accomplish their core tasks.”
