The civil officers’ promotion system has changed as educational administration environment changed. The promotion system for deputy directors(5th level) of local education agencies changed from requiring promotion exams to having a promotion system with capabilities approach. This research examined the process and main factors of the promotion system development by synthesizing the related literature as well as conducing a survey on the perceptions of the promotion system management. It analyzed the deputy director promotion plans of 17 local agencies in order to analyze the promotion system’s current status and components. A survey was conducted targeting 67,132 local education agency officers on their perceptions of the promotion system and procedures. The result, based on the 3,485 participants’ responses, was analyzed for general perceptions (problems and appropriateness) and groups differences (based on regions, organizations, age, and career experiences) in terms of their perceptions. The results indicated local education agencies need to develop their own concept of talent and core competencies which accord with their organizational vision and purpose in order to increase the officers’ receptivity. They also may create life cycle of capability modeling and educational programs in order to provide systematic learning opportunities.
