- What are the perceptions of male and female civil servants on the necessity and benefits of the career development in civil service?

 

- What are the needs, challenges, and assumptions, positive and negative factors of/for male and female civil servants at each stage of career development?

 

- What are the perceptions of male and female civil servants on the effectiveness of the career development in civil service?

 

- What are the best practices in carer development and possible solutions of differences in career paths of civil servants?

 

The research project will contribute to a better understanding of the differences in career paths for female and male civil servants and will provide the recommendations on how to remove these differences.
