In the case of Korea, the impetus for undertaking human resource management reforms stems from the economic crisis of the late 1990s.

Reform measures include introducing an open employment system (to enable the recruitment of private sector personnel), performance-related pay (to encourage competitiveness in the public sector) and many other flexible employment practices (to modernize Korean human resource management in government). The reforms are expected to have a significant impact on transforming a heretofore rigid and unresponsive Korean Civil Service
