Dismissing incompetent public servants started from Ulsan City is spreading to the nation. As part of comprehensive administrative reform in provincial and municipal authorities, such movement is strong to kick out those who are not qualified and incompetent as public servants. It is because citizens have high hope for the change of public officers. Firing incompetent workers started from Ulsan city government was spread to Seoul City government and to the central government. However, other concerning views over kicking out incompetent public workers are very strongly raised. Accordingly, this study examines various opinions and does institutional, legal, and theoretical reviews on the dismissal system of incompetent workers that is widely spread. It examines social significance and problems over the system and suggests its improvements and directions of innovation toward administrative reform.
