The
responsibility for managing the state rests with the governing government. To
fulfill this responsibility, millions of employees are required. These
employees belong to different departments and are classified based on their
education, skills, and seniority. The government relies on these executive
officers to enforce administrative and economic policies on behalf of the
people. Consequently, these positions offer a wide range of opportunities in
management and economics, making them highly desirable. This leads to a
competitive race to secure these positions, where individuals often resort to
both legal and illegal means to attain them. As a result, these positions are
filled with individuals who may lack competence and are driven by greed and
corruption. This presence of incompetent and corrupt individuals in government
offices creates a persistent problem of underperformance and corruption,
causing headaches for governments.
The
reasons mentioned above, along with the complexities of human life and society,
have prompted rulers to consider delegating some departments to the private
sector rather than shouldering all the responsibilities themselves, in order to
avoid discrediting their administration. This gave rise to the concept of
government and private sector partnerships, which became increasingly popular.
As a result, several departments were entrusted to the private sector, creating
numerous employment opportunities outside of the public sector. The private
sector's competitive environment has placed a greater emphasis on skills and
efficiency. As a result, individuals with better skills and performance are
experiencing significant increases in salaries and benefits. This has led to
competent individuals giving priority to the private sector for employment.
Both the public and private sectors attract the most talented individuals in
society, and they serve as vital conduits for the state and government to
implement policies and deliver benefits to the public. Their role can be
likened to the arteries in the human body, as they facilitate the flow of
resources and services throughout society.
