Position-based management of commune-level Vietnam Fatherland Front cadres in Ho Chi Minh City

In the context of Ho Chi Minh City’s two-tier local government model, position-based management of commune-level Vietnam Fatherland Front cadres has become increasingly important. This study analyzes the theoretical foundations, assesses current management practices, and proposes solutions for improvement. Using qualitative methods, secondary data analysis, practical observations, and experience synthesis, the study finds that organizational structures and personnel have gradually been consolidated. However, limitations remain in job-position identification, competency frameworks, personnel allocation, training, and performance evaluation. The study proposes four coordinated groups of solutions to improve the management mechanism, better align personnel competencies with job requirements, enhance implementation capacity, and strengthen public-service motivation among grassroots Front cadres.
