“…Innovation process involves several elements in the organization as the seeds that would blossom into innovation and is a cycle of innovation process (Gajduschek, 2003;Veenswijk, 2005;Styhre, 2007;OECD, 2011;Hummel, 2015;McLaughlin & Kennedy, 2016).

The method in this research article is systematic reviews technique that tries to identify all the written evidence exists regarding research themes.

“…Despite the low level of organizational commitment and low level of effort, public employees have a high level of value for job content growth and development (Buelens & Van den Broeck, 2007;Lyons et al, 2006). Overall, the public employee can be generally characterized as individuals focused on serving the public and on the self rather than on the entity, impacting the organization's efficiency (Buelens & Van den Broeck, 2007;Gajduschek, 2003;Lewis & Frank, 2002;Lyons et al, 2006).…”

'You’re fired!' Infamous words spoken by Donald Trump from prime-time television to the White House. Trump, businessman turned politician, has carried over his characteristics from the private sector to the public sector. Are Americans experiencing the Trump effect or is this a result of the businessman turned politician effect? From work motivation to demographics, this commentary highlights key characteristics and associated implications about the public sector and the private sector employees by discussing the following questions: What are the characteristics of the public and private sector employees? What are the implications of these characteristics? Specifically, public service motivation, organizational, commitment, level of effort, intrinsic factors, job content, pay, job security, and work-life balance are discussed. Review of the literature suggests that while similarities do exist between the public sector and private sector employees, there are sufficient characteristic differences that warrant supporting Appleby’s (1945) doctrine that government employees are indeed different.

Its characteristics facilitate continuity, reliability, precision, predictability, rationality and efficiency (Gajduschek, 2003). Its principles are scientific and result in the disengagement from soldiering and application of the rule of thumb (Taylor, 1917).…”

Bureaucracy represents an ideal form of public administration. Its robust structure facilitates the attainment of public goals. It introduces fairness, rationality, discipline and equity into the public administration. Regardless of its desirability, it is not conveying the expected outcomes in Lesotho. This paper is largely based on secondary data and content analysis to unearth the causes of the poor performance of bureaucracy in the country. It found out that the rent-seeking behaviour of elected public officials taints the merits of bureaucracy so that scholars are lured to believe that it is dysfunctional. The behaviour of the political office-holders in Lesotho demonstrates that they are determined to intimidate technocrats who hamper their interests. Such practices overshadow the desirability of bureaucracy. Top political office-bearers in the country prefer infiltrating the bureaucracy with unqualified civil servants for political gains. They have even coopted the judges so that they can manipulate the public administration with impunity. However, the government of Lesotho can correct these abnormalities by reinforcing the existing laws and strengthening the impartiality of the judiciary.
