In this article, I estimated the specific method of taking public office as a procedure for acquiring official status in Baekje, and the work, performance assessment, promotions, and personnel transfers of Baekje officials after acquiring official status. In summary, it is as follows.
In Baekje, it was estimated that the age to become a government official was at least 15 years of age, and that the government officials who first took office were below the lower level of Deok (德, 7th~11th official rank). In the procedure for taking public office, it was estimated that the nobles were mainly employed as the protected appointment system, and the descendants of middle and lower-level government officials were recruited as limited tests related to Taehak (太學, National university).
It is difficult to estimate the number of working days of Baekje officials, but it was more likely that the minimum number of working days required for performance assessment was higher than in Tang(唐) and Japan due to circumstances. In the case of vacation, it was difficult to estimate the details except that holidays exist every certain date and give additional farming break on to the farming season. In Baekje, a threeyear term of performance assessment system was implemented around the mid-620s, and it was difficult to judge the performance assessment cycle between one and three years, but it was possible that the central government office was included centering the local government office, and the organization in charge of performance assessment administration was likely to be the Oesabu(外舍部) or the Gongdeokbu(功德部), but it was difficult to conclude. Among the evaluation indicators of performance assessment, the public performance could be estimated for local officials, and the possibility that it was reflected in the performance assessment through the management of military achievements could be seen.
In Baekje, It was estimated that the promotion method of Jwapyeong (佐平, 1st official rank) was completely different from that of other official rank, and the promotion process was different before and after Dalsol and Nasol. When examining the cases related to promotion, which seems from historical records, there were cases of promotion of one or two official rank per promotion opportunity by the performance assessment, but there were not a few cases where the official rank remained the same, so it was confirmed that the promotion was not always promoted. In the personnel transfers of the Baekje officials, it was highly likely that the holder of the Jwapyeong (official rank) was deeply involved and the Oesabu or Gongdeokbu played an auxiliary role.
