The objective of this research is to explore the real states of local government workers management syastem, especially, personnel/pay system, working hours and employing contingent workers. We investigated the states of local government workers by comparative study Japan and UK with paying attention to the concept of "New Public Management" as a model of reforming public sector managemant system.The conclusion of this research is that most of Japanese local governments tend to give high priority to cost cut and efficiency than the UK. This means as follows; firstly, on one hand, regular workers are reduced, the other, contingent workers are increased. Secondly the policy of out sourcing are applied and spread.Thirdly, performance based management/pay system, which is not spreading in the UK, are widely introduced and spread almost of local governments. Lastly, because of large amount of work, many workers are faced with difficulty of getting work-life balance.
