| dc.description.abstract | Despite the advantages, one of the disadvantages of ethnic federalism is the competition between ethnic groups for resources. This competition will lead to ethnic bias when the leader is from ethnic-based party. Three decades have passed since the introduction of ethnic federalism in Ethiopia. This study assesses the effect of ethnic federalism on recruitment and promotion of employees of federal institutes. It assesses the check and balance mechanism to control ethnic domination, the employment and promotion procedures and their applicability, the existence of ethnic favoritism and its effect on the private sector. Both primary and secondary data are employed. Survey questionnaire, semi structured interview and review of related literatures have been used to write this thesis. The research questions are addressed using descriptive research design. The findings of the study confirm the literatures that ethnic favoritism is prevalent in Ethiopian ethnic federalism while recruiting, promoting and transferring of public employees. There is no strong check and balance mechanism to control ethnic domination. Even though the positioning and employment policy and procedure is in place, it is less applicable and employees are favored based on their ethnic background. The ethnic favoritism brought an impact on the performance of the private sector, one of the pillars for economic development, making the federal institutions less effective in implementing policies and delivering quality service. Key Words: Ethnic, Favoritism, Federalism, Recruitment, Positioning. | |
