Appointment and Human Resources in the Education System

The concept of meritocracy aims to identify, select, continuously attract, and engage individuals based on their capabilities, providing a foundation for effective management. However, in societies where relationships take precedence over rules and inheritance outweighs acquisition, meritocracy is shrouded in uncertainty. The allocation of responsibilities to individuals is not solely determined by competence but is influenced by numerous intrinsic and acquired factors. In managerial roles, such as managerial duties and executive positions, the structure is often less defined, making the identification of competent individuals challenging and complex. Many fields face disruptions beyond one's control that affect the working conditions of managers. Managers typically enjoy job opportunities, benefits, power, and wealth, and as a result, relationships tend to hold more sway than rules. Hence, the initial and crucial step in achieving meritocracy is to address this issue. The pursuit of meritocracy has been a longstanding endeavor in Western countries. It's important to note that meritocracy should be pursued at all levels, not limited to managerial positions.
