Abstract

The ability of public organizations to effectively leverage performance-enhancing interventions depends on their alignment with the institutional and motivational determinants of public sector performance and on how these are reflected in governance design choices. A mismatch between performance logics and governance design may potentially render interventions ineffective or even detrimental. In this article, we deconstruct the theoretical foundations of such a mismatch and propose an interactional causal model to examine how governance design can either effectuate or inhibit the institutional and individual motivational determinants affecting performance. In doing so, we evaluate the fitness of governance designs against public sector attributes and constraints and identify actionable managerial interventions for improving the fit. The article argues that alignment between governance design and the logics underpinning public sector performance regimes is critical for producing outcomes that are effective and consistent with the traits and value systems of the public sector.
提高公共部门绩效制度的有效性:一个将治理设计与绩效逻辑结合起来的拟议因果模型
公共组织有效利用提高绩效干预措施的能力取决于它们与公共部门绩效的制度和动机决定因素的一致性,以及这些因素如何在治理设计选择中得到反映。性能逻辑和治理设计之间的不匹配可能会导致干预无效甚至有害。在本文中,我们解构了这种不匹配的理论基础,并提出了一个相互作用的因果模型,以研究治理设计如何能够实现或抑制影响绩效的制度和个人动机决定因素。在此过程中,我们评估了治理设计对公共部门属性和约束的适应性,并确定了可操作的管理干预措施,以改善适应性。本文认为,治理设计与支撑公共部门绩效制度的逻辑之间的一致性对于产生有效且符合公共部门特征和价值体系的结果至关重要。
