Starting in the 1820s, Spain underwent a process transforming its governmental administration based on a conception considering the authoritarian state tantamount to its all-powerful administrative apparatus. In addition to the aims of rationalizing and containing costs of the civil service, the adopted reforms also sought to favor the figure of the competent employee motivated by a sense of the state, which led to the development of civil service career management tools. But at the same time, this reformism conflicted with the legacy of the bureaucracy of the Ancien Régime, the culture of patronage, and the politicization of administration. In such a context, employee evaluation was never a real priority.
