Govt staff less confident about finding new jobs

It is an inertia to leave the secure. I think govt jobs have some of the best talents because they generally select well and more importantly, train them well. Lack of confidence is not just PSU oriented. It is age related. So to say someone above 50 may be more careful than say someone below 30. But of course unlike the private sector where a single guy handles multiple things and thus gets more exposure in the govt sector the same job maybe divided amongst four/five people. This may lead to a certain lack of information but again everything is relative. For an example a nuclear or rocket scientist may find quick takers as compared to a railway clerk. Same to comment about certain specific operations such as projects/materials/supply chain/info systems etc which are more specialised and skilled manpower might be low. The tough chance is for guys in marketing who lack the confidence to shift due to lack of specifics.

I think the issue is more importantly the lack of drive the govt employees to achieve anything in life. All they want is their very comfortable job (no work pressure, no goals, therefore no learning), a salary at the end of each month. Because they know this will suffice for them and their family. As Sujatha said, 'The inertia to leave the secure'. But i personally do not know anybody in the govt. service who has an ambition or goal in life.

while I agree withthe question, the fact is things are changing a bit. The major reason what I could see is, due to years of experience, make them comfortable, profit or no profit, they get their salary. many do side business and" other" income. it is like frying the frog story....once you get used to ceratin comforts, itis difficult to change........ whu should I? no need.  5 days, no work or less work. no timings ( flexi).... visit  one old Govt office...........

But youngsters, are different

Most people provided that level of comfort levels and lack of process ownership is bound to fall prey. To say the are inefficient or lazy do not know the job is not at all the truth especially if said for majority.

People working for Government have better knowledge of rules and procedures as compared to private sectors and it is solely lack of process ownership that makes them get into 'avoid as far as one can" attitude. 

I think Govt are less confident about finding new jobs because of non-existence of proper performance metrics in the government offices. In most of the govt offices, you will be promoted irrespective of your performance after certain period. For example, in DRDO, for every three years, you will get promoted to next level irrespective of the employee performance. Coming to Private organizations, your future career path depends on your present performance, so in order to move survive or move ahead, you need to perform. And also, you will be challenged by the new employees constantly which leads you to upgrade your skill sets frequently.

Gone are the days when Government jobs gave respect in society for a person. To day it is the power and the opportunity to make money through currupt practice that attracts Government jobs. Some people also become slaves of politicians - politicaal bosses, gets opportunity to buy degrees, amase  wealth, and start liking such life. After all where is the need to switch from Government job to Private. Private is complementary to Governemnt. They are the other side of the coin. They give money to get their jobs done. They are the instruments for the Government people.

They are the kings in their self - proclaimed palaces, where they call the shots and the whole world is at their feet, asking their favour to get a simple file passed or a plan to be approved. By doing so - they feel they have obliged the entire human race and hence should be rewarded.

Now this is a phase which will be there till they are in their comfortable chairs which even they are aware of. The moment they are out of that chair, they are no body. so - make hay while the sun shines - thats the motto every govt employee believes and follows religiously. who knows - if tomorrow, possibly their sector gets privatised- they dont have a job anymore, as such kind of jobs exist ONLY and ONLY in the govt department in India, on this planet, and no where else!!

they know , they have a job which is permanently nobody claim to him.so they do a other things like business,for more earning.

Many of govt agencies are non-profitable. So, when an employee look for jobs in profitable business concern. It looks bit indifferent. Though they may have repository of knowledge & skills, they find difficult to use in proper applications. Need be there, a capsule of orientation training before they enter.

For obvious reasons I would say that the Govt employees lack on many and varieties of major concerning factors required for the up-bringing of the company and potray an image of the Organisation to the common public. Quite obvious that the Govt service exams (written) are quite tuff to crack but what matters the most are the its after effect. It is very rare seen or heard that few Govt sectors are providing manful hours towards the replinishment and honing the SKILL set of their employees hence effecting the employees WILL towards applying towards other sectors and the result is in front of us everyday and in every walk of life, wherein we complain about the Govt employees not working up to the mark.

Hence, I believe that ' SKILL ' and ' WILL ' issue's are the factors why the govt emp are less confident in finding new jobs which I beleive walk hand-in-hand towards the make or break of the company's pride.

cos they dont have confidence in them to find a new job other than govt job . so they dont put any kind of effort in which they can gain a success, but for that they feel so difficulty or lack of confidence and communication .

mostly goverment sector person  not work their work properly they  know very well that after loss this job iam not manage in private sector . bcz now i have totally lazy in my work besides comaprison to govt to private. i will do very work hard int that job

The whole idea is itself questionable. Before coming to a conclusion, you need to compare  apple to apple. You need to compare the same age group, then you need to ask reasons for changing job.
