In this point, building the civil servants classification system in the service-oriented government has an important theoretical and practical significance.This article defines the concept and principle of service-oriented government, civil servants and classification, combed the corresponding civil servants systems of the rule-oriented government and management-oriented government, points out the service-oriented government is the direction of future government development, and then constructs the classification system in the service-oriented government from value orientation, system design and operation level such three aspects.On the value orientation level, the civil servants classification system in the service-oriented government should focus on people; emphasize responses; considering both efficiency and fairness; reinforce responsibilities. Civil servants classification should mix position classification and grade classification; implement broadband system; give department manager more responsibilities.On system design level, firstly divide the civil servants on the political level and then make further partition on the management level. In the aspect of politics, civil servants should be an accountability tool and be divided into political appointees, administrative officer, appointed civil servants. Meanwhile, add senior civil servants in order to reduce the resistance of position transfer and overcome the flaw of insufficient generalists. In the aspect of management, the civil servant classification should be a performance management tool and firstly divided into comprehensive management positions, professional technical positions and administrative law enforcement positions in the horizontal level according to work contents and characters.

On the other hand, we should set the unified classification standard, perfect the basic work of classification, optimize classification assessment techniques to form the scientific job description.The civil servant classification system in the service-oriented government is the ideal type that author constructed according to the requirements of service-oriented government and the reality of our country. If turns it into reality, we need feasibility argument, pilot and perfect. At the same time we should realize that any kind of management systems exists just to meet certain practical needs. As the world political, economic and cultural situation changes, classification system should make corresponding adjustment and improvement.
