MERITOCRACY AND ANGOLANIZATION OF HUMAN CAPITAL - Flávio Januário: "Knowledge, the Key to Liberation of Angolan Human Capital"

By Flávio Januário

Book Overview

Meritocracy translates into the recognition of the value of an individual for the professional activities carried out within the scope of work, which will differentiate him from other people, making him an individual of merit based on the results achieved by the work carried out. To implement the merit system, it is necessary to clearly establish goals, objectives, job profiles, and the virtues expected of Workers. An evaluation that determines the rewards of an employee cannot be made on subjective bases, in order to provide competitive advantages that lead professionals to achieve efficient results. The lack of meritocracy makes people not valued, they feel that they do not have the opportunity to be in a certain place, because in fact there is subjectivity in competitions, intransparency in various processes, this leads the individual to a level of dissatisfaction. There is no meritocracy without democracy. It is important that institutions make the real effect of democracy felt in the sense of the word and in the sense of doing good by developing the thinking of those who demand good for the institutions. The real meaning of democracy elevates us to a service of governing the people, by the people and for the people. Everything focused on the real development of the people for their common good, according to the Lincolnian formula of the essence of democracy - "government of the people, by the people, and for the people". A meritocratic model is a principle or ideal of social organization that seeks to promote individuals - in different social spaces: school, university, civil or military institutions, work, private initiative, public power, etc - for the benefit of their merits (aptitude, work, efforts, competences, intelligence, virtue and talent) and not on their social origin (class system), on their wealth (social reproduction) or on their individual relationships (physiologism, nepotism or co-optation).
