تطور طرق شغل الوظائف العامة في المملكة العربية السعودية في ضوء التعديلات الحديثة على نظام الخدمة المدنية و لوائحه التنفيذية

Abstract EN

The study is aimed to explain, analyze, and evaluate the development of the legal framework for occupying public jobs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia following the recent amendments to the civil service law and the new executive regulations for human resources (1440H).

It also looks into how it has affected the legal status of public employees and the administration’s powers to fill public positions.

The study found that the new amendments would provide greater flexibility and broader management powers in the matter of filling public offices, without compromising employee, by approving several means and mechanisms to control the discretionary administrative authority in resorting to methods of filling the public office.

The research also indicates that one of the most noticeable effects of developing new methods of occupying public jobs, particularly through the contracting mechanism, is the change in the Saudi concept of public employment, as well as the convergence and overlap between public employment law and labor law, as well as the practical problems and judicial disputes that may result.
