This work present the outputs of the evaluation of the system of management of human resources at the central government in eighteen Latin- American countries developed during the project Institutional Diagnostics of the Civil Service of the program Diálogo Regional de Política from the BID. The evaluation consisted of an analysis of the seven principal subsystems in which the human resources functions are grouped together: human resources planning, work organization, job management, performance management, compensation management, development management, and social and human relations management. The human resources management at organizations assumes an integrated and coordinated development of the different functions involved and its articulation with the organizational general strategy. These basic principles, that are founded in the human resources literature nowadays and that take into consideration the Longo's human resources management system (2002), are the ones that lead the Latin American civil service evaluation. The results show that those principles guide the normative of these countries, but not its practices. Beyond the differences between the Latin American administrations and the model used to confront them, the research contributes to measure the distance from each country to the standard proposed in each subsystem, as well as identifies tendencies about particular aspects developed in the Latin American civil services.
