The purpose of this paper is to present a number of initiatives which have been spearheaded by the Romanian government in the field of career management in the civil service. This paper attempts to supplement existing research into New Public Management NPM by outlining the modernisation of a range of public HR functions in the country and to outline the context and significance of each of the attempts at modernisation in the HRM field, in the work undertaken by the Romanian National Civil Servant Agency NACS. Empirical evidence shows that the centralised Romanian civil service is in need of serious change if it is to deliver a more efficient and less politically driven level of practice. Many external and internal organisational forces such as the demographics of the labour-force, technology and privatisation – as well as the erosion of confidence in government institutions have drastically altered the environment of the civil service in Romania. Consequently, traditional Human Resource Management HRM approaches no longer work.
