能力本位就其本源而言,或许并不算什么新生事物。作为现代社会平等观念的核心信条之一。“职位应向才能开放”早在数百年前,就已成为人类追求的目标。1789年,法国《人权与公民权宣言》就曾明确宣告:在法律面前,所有公民都是平等的。故他们都能平等地按其能力担任一切官职、公共职位和职务,除德行和才能上的差别外,不得有甚他差别。 Competency based on its origin may not be anything new. As one of the core tenets of the concept of equality in modern society. “The job should be open before” has been the goal pursued by mankind many centuries ago. In 1789, the French Declaration on Human Rights and Citizenship made it clear that all citizens are equal before the law. Therefore, all of them can equally occupy all official posts, public posts and positions according to their abilities. There should be no difference except for differences in virtue and ability.
