Le secteur public joue un rôle important dans la société. Dans la plupart des pays en développement, les dépenses publiques constituent une partie importante du PIB et les entités du secteur public sont les principaux pourvoyeurs d’emploi et les principaux acteurs du marché des capitaux. Le secteur public détermine, généralement par le biais d'un processus politique, ses objectifs économiques et sociaux ainsi que les différents types d'intervention à mettre en place pour les atteindre. Comment le secteur public atteint ses objectifs constitue une question cruciale étant donné que sa taille et

Abstract:

Over the past 20 years, governments in many countries around the world have sought to implement governance mechanisms to measure and assess the performance of public service organisations. As a consequence, public service organisations, especially those considered as poorly-performing organisations, have been subjected to unprecedented pressure to improve their performance and sustain performance improvement as a continuous process. However, efforts of public managers to improve the performance of their organisations have been undertaken without “comprehensive theories and rigorous evidence on

Abstract:

Measuring performance is a necessary management practice if action is to result in desired outcomes. An important objective of the New Zealand public sector reforms that started in the late 1980s, was to focus the attention of public servants on clear specified results rather than bureaucratic procedures. Based on an implicit assumption that all public sector organisations are of a production nature, the reforms promised greater efficiency within the public sector by holding managers accountable for results while providing them with greater freedom to allocate resources. Consequently, outputs

Abstract:

Biographical data inventories (biodata) have one of the best predictors of job performance criteria for over 100 hundred years. Similarly, CommonFormat Biodata (CFB) inventories have also demonstrated their ability to predict certain performance criteria. There are two common themes and tow common sub-themes typically associated with CFB intruments, Education, experience, time, and specificity respectively. The major purpose of this paper was to employ a confirmatory factor analysis strategy to construct and validate a CFB inventory.

This study used an electronic questionnaire to evaluate the levels of intrinsic motivation, compared to extrinsic motivation, in front-line local government employees.

Further, this research assessed the effects of performance appraisal systems (PAS) on intrinsically motivated front-line local government employees. Current research suggests that public sector employees are more intrinsically motivated than extrinsically motivated. This study found that, while the employees showed hig

Abstract:

This thesis explores the adoption of public sector management reforms by police. The literature suggests that police have been more resistant to public sector management reform than other public sector organisations. One feature of public sector management reform—performance measurement—is evident in police agencies, but prior research does not provide a clear picture of whether performance measurement helps or hinders police effectiveness. The research presented in this thesis helps to clarify this picture by examining the influence of performance measurement on the effectiveness of police in

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the interactions between local public sector organisations and institutions in the development of performance measurement (PM) targets and indicators. The research is grounded in the performance measurement and management literature and adopts a joint new institutional and resource dependence perspective. Empirically, the research, which is qualitative and theory-building, consists of case studies undertaken in local public sector organisations in England. The iterative comparison of theory and data has enabled the investigation of a number of relevant themes.

Abstract:

The theoretical discourses emanating from private sector management and the new institutional economics were influential in shaping the worldwide reforms of the public sector. In New Zealand's public management reforms, for instance, the pervasive adoption of market mechanisms, such as contracting and competition, were a significant feature. While proponents argue that competition and the agency relationship inherent in contracting enhance the 'achievement of results,' other commentators in the literature state that this argument is merely ideological in nature and that there is little empiric

Public administration scholars accept that public service values guide administrators’ behavior.

Nevertheless, public administrators’ values and attitudes are rarely linked to policy implementation and organizational performance. In consequence, public policy evaluation seldom considers the role of values and attitudes of those implementing p

Abstract:

Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>Healthcare systems of the world’s poorer nations have been heavily impacted by economic globalisation. This has resulted in a steady deterioration of working conditions, resulted in less job security and has led to an increase in the spread of communicable diseases in developing countries such as South Africa. It is factors such as these, against the backdrop of a global recession, that have contributed to the escalation in global healthcare costs which has itself augmented the strain on already strained hospital resources in developing e

Abstract:

Continuous improvement (CI) is a never-ending effort to improve an organisation's activities that requires management and employee commitment. Although CI is considered a competitive strategy for business firms to improve their performance and deliver better services and quality products, unfortunately, it is still a choice for many public sector organisations. However, successful implementation of CI in the public sector has received little attention and there is a lack of research. Arab businesses and governments have apparently also not received attention in relation to CI implementation. F

Abstract:

Public Service Motivation (PSM) has become one of the most prominent and widely used theoretical models to explain employee psychology and behaviours in the public sector. It theorises that higher levels of PSM lead to positive outcomes for public service employees, such as greater job satisfaction, stronger organisational commitment and lower intention to quit. However, these relationships have not been confirmed consistently in different national contexts, and the exact role of PSM in shaping employee attitudes and behaviours is still being explored. Because of this, PSM researchers increasi

Abstract:

This thesis examines attempts to improve the efficiency of local authority bureaucracies during the 1980's. A number of significant policy initiatives such as the establishment of the Audit Commission, the pressure for local authorities to implement systems of performance measurement and the introduction of performance related pay schemes reflect this quest for improved value for money. The thesis reviews existing economic theories of bureaucracy which show how inefficiency arises in the public sector. Two major hypotheses within this literature are identified; bureaus are inefficient because
