Work analysis and the future reform of HRM for China’s judicial system: a comparative study from the perspective of post system between China and the US
Purpose
In the context of the current judicial responsibility system in China, under the background of the basic formation of the human resources classification management pattern and the establishment and operation of the new judicial power operation mechanism, how to carry out scientific and reasonable human resources classification, work analysis and systematic reconstruction of judicial human resources is a major problem that must be faced and optimized while directly promoting the reform of the post system, which is also the main purpose of this paper.
Design/methodology/approach
On the basis of summarizing the characteristics of judicial system in China and the United States, this paper will draw lessons from the methods and mechanisms of judicial human resource management (HRM) system in the United States, and further provide research suggestions for the implementation of judicial post system reform in China.
Findings
This paper summarizes the characteristics of the work analysis in judicial system in China and the United States, and finds out the problems and reasons for China's current judicial system work analysis and post system design via multiple related comparisons.
Research implications
As the most important and difficult part of judicial reform, the post system reform is of great significance to promote the specialization and elitism of judges, improve the quality of case handling, and promote the fairness and justice of each case. Based on the summary of judicial human resource methods and the comparative study on the practice of China and the United States, this paper may be helpful to provide further suggestions for the reform of the post system in China's judicial system.
Originality/value
This paper summarizes the methods of human resource management in judicial system, especially workload estimation, and focuses on the weighted case volume model of the United States. By comparing the case studies of post system design between China and the United States, this paper provides a scientific method for China's post system reform in the future.
