An attempt is made here to identify the utility of Re-engineering technique in the public sector management, the term ‘Re-engineering’ was coined first by Michael Hammer. ‘Re-engineering’ called the managers in the business sector to challenge centuries – old notions about work by realizing the real power of computers. Re-engineering has been more successful in the private sector than in the public sector. Therefore, the reformers are more cautious in their recommendations for re-engineering the public sector, confining themselves largely to the reform of selected processes, the introduction of cost-benefit analysis and performance measurement. It is also now being recognized that the two critical obstacles to the re-engineering efforts in public service organizations are structure and culture. Thus, Re-engineering of human resource system in public organization is one of the crucial factors. Along with the reorganization of the structure, reorientation in the culture of public services and the political culture are very essential for re-engineering.
