[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gap-dong] The Gyeonggi Province Economic Science & Technology Promotion Agency (Director Kim Hyun-gon, hereafter GEPS), the Gyeonggi Jobs Foundation, and the Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency received 'A' grades in the results of the 2025 Management Evaluation of Public Institutions and Institutional Leaders (based on 2024 performance) announced by Gyeonggi Province.

On the 19th, the province released the "2025 Gyeonggi Province Management Evaluation Results for Public Institutions and Institutional Leaders (based on 2024 performance)" for 19 invested and contributed institutions under the provincial government.

For this evaluation, the province formed a management evaluation committee composed of 29 private experts including professors and certified public accountants, and assessed each institution's 2024 management performance through written screening and on-site evaluations conducted from March to June.

In particular, this year the evaluation expanded performance-based assessment and strengthened social responsibility evaluation by newly introducing △innovation △citizen-recognized innovation best practices △and business promotion performance evaluations.

As evaluation results, the Jobs Foundation, which established the public sector specialized job application 'Job Dream' and 'Job Status Board' to advance data-driven employment services, the Gyeonggi Economic Science & Technology Promotion Agency, which enhanced corporate support service quality through service innovation including AI-based 'Gyeonggi Business Secretary,' and the Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency, which hosted the country's first and largest scale 'International AI Film Festival' to promote global AI content creation, received 'A' grades.

The evaluation of invested and contributed institutional leaders was conducted for leaders of 22 institutions, excluding those who served less than three months as of last year.

The Gyeonggi Jobs Foundation institutional leader received an 'A' grade, five leaders including the Gyeonggi Economic Science & Technology Promotion Agency director received a 'B' grade, six leaders including the Gyeonggi Research Institute director received a 'C' grade, and four leaders including the Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation director received a 'D' grade. The evaluation results for leaders of four local public corporations including the Gyeonggi Housing & Urban Development Corporation and the leaders of the Gyeonggi Social Service Institute and Gyeonggi Medical Center will be finalized by reflecting the evaluation results from central government agencies (Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ministry of Health and Welfare).

Based on this evaluation, the province plans to implement follow-up measures such as warnings for institutional leaders rated 'D' or below and will reflect implementation results of institutional improvement tasks resulting from the evaluation in next year's evaluation. Additionally, employees of institutions rated 'C' or above (employees rated 'D' or above) and institutional leaders may receive performance bonuses within the budget range.

Lee Moon-hwan, Gyeonggi Province's Public Institutions Official, stated, "Through fair and rational management evaluation, we will continuously enhance the management efficiency and accountability of invested and contributed institutions, ensuring that results tangible to residents are achieved."
