The passage of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 resulted in the establishment of the Office of Personnel Management and the Merit Systems Protection Board, which oversee the hiring and classification of federal employees and ensure that they are hired and promoted based on merit rather than political affiliation. The act did not establish a merit system for hiring but rather strengthened and improved existing merit-based protections for federal employees. It also did not restrict civil service workers from being candidates in partisan elections, nor did it outright prohibit hiring or firing based on political party identification (although it did prohibit political considerations in certain aspects of employment decisions).
