This study has two interrelated objectives. The first objective is to present an overview about how job classification/norm cadre studies have been developed on a legal basis and in practice, in the Turkish Public Administration. The second is, along with this overview, to examine the problems arising with the norm cadre practices in Turkey, by surveying whether they are compatible with the original job classification practices. The study first touches upon the history of norm cadre studies that have been on the agenda for nearly half a century. Then norm cadre practices and problems related to these in the Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Health, municipalities and universities were analyzed. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the job classification practice is differentiated and misapplied in Turkey, where the main aim is to limit the number of personnel classified after standardization.

TÜRK KAMU HİZMETİNDE POZİSYON SINIFLANDIRMA: UYGULAMALAR VE SORUNLAR

Öz

Bu çalışmanın iki ilişkili amacı bulunmaktadır. İlk amacı, Türk Kamu İdaresi'nde iş sınıflandırması/norm kadro çalışmalarının yasal temellere dayalı olarak nasıl geliştirildiğini ve uygulandığını genel bir bakış açısıyla sunmaktır. İkinci amacı ise, bu genel bakışın yanı sıra, Türkiye'de norm kadro uygulamalarından kaynaklanan sorunları, bunların orijinal iş sınıflandırma uygulamalarıyla uyumlu olup olmadığını araştırarak incelemektir. Çalışma öncelikle neredeyse yarım yüzyıldır gündemde olan norm kadro çalışmalarının tarihine değinmektedir. Ardından, norm kadro uygulamaları ile bu uygulamalara ilişkin sorunlar Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı, Sağlık Bakanlığı, belediyeler ve üniversiteler özelinde analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, Türkiye'de iş sınıflandırma uygulamasının standartlaştırmadan sonra sınıflandırılan personel sayısını sınırlamak olduğu bir ortamda, iş sınıflandırma uygulamasının farklılaştığı ve yanlış uygulandığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
