Abstract

Strategic planning is core to public administration at all governmental levels. Evidence suggests that when conducted well strategic planning impacts several performance outcomes. Yet, public administration and strategy scholars have argued that strategic planning is not only a technical procedure. Its success is contingent upon the people involved in strategic planning. This study investigates strategic planning using user acceptance theory. It identifies whether formal and participatory strategic planning associate with ease of use and usefulness of strategic planning and, in turn, whether ease of use and usefulness associate with commitment to strategic plans. Results from PLS‐SEM analysis of survey data from 327 municipalities in three Northern European countries or regions (Flanders, Finland, Norway) corroborate the perspective of strategic planning as organizational behavior where design choices shape attitudes and behaviors. These findings support calls to consider strategic planning from a 3Ps perspective, namely connecting people–process–plan, to achieve outcomes.

用户对战略规划的接受程度：来自北欧城市的证据

战略规划是各级政府公共行政的核心。有证据表明，如果战略规划实施得当，会对若干绩效成果产生影响。然而，公共行政和战略学者认为，战略规划不仅是一项技术程序。其成功与否取决于参与战略规划的人员。本研究利用用户接受理论对战略规划进行了调查。它确定了正式战略规划和参与式战略规划是否与战略规划的易用性和实用性相关联，以及易用性和实用性是否与对战略规划的承诺相关联。对北欧三个国家或地区（佛兰德斯、芬兰、挪威）327 个城市的调查数据进行的 PLS-SEM 分析结果，证实了战略规划作为组织行为的观点，即设计选择会影响人们的态度和行为。这些发现支持了从 3Ps 角度考虑战略规划的呼吁，即把人员-过程-计划联系起来，以取得成果。
