Data statement
The Ethiopian Civil Servants Survey (ECSS) was undertaken by the World Bank’s Bureaucracy Lab between June and September 2016. The survey included professional level staff and directors or heads of federal ministries or agencies, regional bureaus, and woreda (district) offices. It was undertaken in close collaboration with the Ministry of Public Service and Human Resource Development (now the Civil Service Commission). To protect the anonymity of Civil Servants in Ethiopia, we have not included any individual level characteristics of civil servants. However, some aggregated characteristics at the organization level have been included. The public data only includes variables that are used in the analysis of the Bureaucratic Locus of Control, and to show the relationship with outcomes such as performance and motivation.
