Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of administrative informatization on the organizational structure and manpower system at the eight selected central government bodies in the Korean government. In detail, since the Korean government took administrative informatization as a critical factor for government innovation in 1980s, it has also reshaped the governmental structure and manpower system in accordance with administrative informatiza-tion. Thus, finding out how administrative informatization influences the total number of public officials and the organizational structure of the government in horizontal and vertical is very important for setting the future direction of administrative informatization up.
