The Correlation between Staff Sufficiency and Risk Management Effectiveness in Territorial Administrative Units

In an increasingly complex social and economic context, the most efficient risk management is a necessity in local public administration. The effectiveness of risk management consists in proactively identifying, evaluating and mitigating threats, ensuring the success of an entity. This aspect can be fulfilled under conditions where there are sufficient trained personnel, who can identify and implement the specific risk management processes as efficiently as possible. Starting from this aspect, a risk management model was developed that integrates principles, processes and tools that support organizations in making effective management decisions. The objective of the research is to identify, adapt and develop a new risk management model, respectively, its application and fictitious testing during the normal development of the activities of the territorial administrative units. Regarding the research methodology, the quantitative method was used, which is based on interactive methods of statistical data analysis. The purpose of the research is to concretize aspects related to improving the risk management process by eliminating negative effects and increasing the capacity to identify them within an administrative-territorial unit. The results obtained in a quantitative analysis help to test hypotheses based on exploratory statistical analysis. The research facilitated the proposal and adjustment of a risk management model, designed to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and economic sustainability of each activity carried out within an administrative-territorial unit. The main contribution consists in providing a practical perspective on the optimization of human resources in public administration, with direct benefits on the application of a risk management model.
