AbstractThis paper aims to review the senior executive service (SES) in the Thai public sector. It is found that SES in the Thai public sector is centralized system in which the Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) plays an important role in terms of control, supervision, administration, and operation, while the government agencies must comply with the rules set forth. This causes a promotion of merit-based system and a balance of power in the bureaucratic system itself since the SES is a career-based system. The OCSC, however, tries to counterbalance the system by scoping the roles to lay down criteria for determining qualifications in the selection, competency development, performance management and compensation processes. But in considering those who are suitable for development to enter the senior executive service remains the authority of the government agencies in which the decision process is based on the form of a committee. Some suggestions for the development of SES in the Thai public sector are the government agencies should be more decentralized to operate some processes of SES and the OCSC is expected to concentrate on their policy advocacy’s roles.
