FRÂNCU LAURENȚIU GABRIEL

Abstract:

The evaluation of the impact over excessive bureaucracy from the romanian public institutions over the sustainable economic development is a key issue in nowadays Romania. This study aims to analyze the problems of the bureaucracy from the romanian public institutions and the impact over economic activities. Thus, the main problem is a inflated and inefficient public sector that could affect the performance of the romanian economy by driving away foreign investors and by having inefficient spending of public money. A inflated public sector that will lead to an increase in human resource inefficiency that is unable to produce added value for the economy. To analyze the negative effects that the excessive bureaucracy from the romanian public institutions is generating I realized a questionnaire which aimed to analyze the impact of the bureaucracy from the romanian public institutions over the society and hence over the economic development. Thus, it will be see if the bureaucracy from the romanian public institutions have an important role in increasing or decreasing the national economy. Regarding the elimination of negative effects of the bureaucracy (eg: corruption; lack of transparency; inappropriate behavior of the public servants; negative image among investors; reducing revenues to the state budget; boundaries in sustainable development; etc.) this study aims to come up with some pertinent solutions. To eliminate the negative effects of the bureaucracy from public institutions will be proposed organizational models that in the future will increase their effectiveness and efficiency and not least their orientation to the market demands and exigencies. In this sense it is important to create an optimal bureaucratic system (a system of rules and regulations that will lead to a more efficient bureaucracy) to facilitate the activities of public institutions with an immediate effect in the economy.

Keywords: bureaucracy; public institutions; economic development; civil servants; excessive bureaucratic system; optimal bureaucratic system.
