PUBLIC SERVICE DISCIPLINE
Standards Praised By Mr Atkinson (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct 24. The Public Service had maintained a generally high standard of discipline over the years, the chairman of the Public Service Commission, Mr L. A. Atkinson, said today. “This has been due more to the force of tradition and the homogeneity of the service and to the extra-discip-linary control systems than to the virtues of the disciplinary provisions,” he said in submissions to the Royal Commission on State Services.
It was clear, however, that disciplinary problems had become more acute in the postwar period. Good disciplinary provisions would achieve a balance between the efficiency of the service in a broad sense and the rights of employees, which formed the basis of a high morale, Mr Atkinson added.
