    Series Information

    The Ethiopian Civil Servants Survey (ECSS) was undertaken by the World Bank’s Bureaucracy Lab between June and September 2016. The survey included professional level staff and directors or heads of federal ministries or agencies, regional bureaus, and woreda (district) offices. It was undertaken in close collaboration with the Ministry of Public Service and Human Resource Development (now the Civil Service Commission).

    Abstract

    To what extent do public officials feel they have control over their lives in public service? We develop a new measure of perceived control in the bureaucracy based on the locus of control scale. The `Bureaucratic Locus of Control' (BLOC) scale extends standard measures to a bureaucratic context as well as introduces an extension to these measures that focuses on the power of systemic forces in officials' lives. Field tests amongst a representative sample of Ethiopian public officials suggest that the BLOC scale has good internal reliability and that it is positively associated with promotion opportunities, rewards and motivation. We showcase its use by investigating the extent to which inequality in control impacts the general perception of control. Potential uses of the scale to study bureaucratic dynamics are discussed.

    Data Editing

    To protect the anonymity of Civil Servants in Ethiopia, we have not included any individual level characteristics of civil servants. However, some aggregated characteristics at the organization level have been included.

    The public data only includes variables that are used in the analysis of the Bureaucratic Locus of Control, and to show the relationship with outcomes such as performance and motivation.
