A consideration of the plan for dismissing of governmental employees (1238-1329 S.H)

A few changes occurred in Iran’s bureaucratic system and this system began to grow gradually compared to the Qajar dynasty in spite of some short coming. However, the happenings and events in Shahrivar 1320, displayed the defects and problems of this bureaucratic system. The official and governmental systems became full of problems which persisted for a long time. At the end of this decade, some measures were taken to improve this system one of which was the sacking of corrupt and disqualified employees in the cabinet members of Saed, Mansour, and Razmara. This study deals with these sacking measures. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach by relying on the documents, newspapers, and library sources and attempts to probe into the reasons for the laws of sacking the employees. Findings display that by the implementation of this law as an attempt by Pahlavi (II), a sacking commission began to investigate the performance of the high-ranking officials in ministries and governmental offices. After one year, only the files of 900 employees out of the 150000 personals of the governmental offices were investigated and in cases where the law hit the important and influential officials, Razmara, similar to his processors was not able or did not intend, to investigate the cases. Therefore, the corruption and the inefficiency of the bureaucratic system persisted as before.
