Abstract

This paper is a meta-review of public sector performance management research as published over the last decade. Contingency-based studies are the predominant types of research on public sector performance management, but the review points to a lack of consistent evidence of which contingency variables are influential under which circumstances. The paper also indicates that a variety of research questions in this field can be addressed by different theories, especially coming from economics, organization theory and institutional sociology. Finally, a set of underdeveloped research areas are highlighted: (1) more extensive theorizing as opposed to the mainly pragmatic perspectives currently adopted; (2) inclusion of ‘hard data’ in the analysis of organizational performance; (3) taking a broader perspective on transformation processes, that is, other than the simple fabrication trajectory, particularly complex project-type of processes and network organizations; (4) benefiting from insights of performance management research in the private sector, for example about pay-for-performance systems.

公共部门绩效管理研究的元综述
本文是对过去十年发表的公共部门绩效管理研究的元综述。基于权变的研究是公共部门绩效管理的主要研究类型,但审查指出,缺乏一致的证据表明哪些权变变量在哪些情况下具有影响。本文还指出,该领域的各种研究问题可以通过不同的理论来解决,特别是来自经济学、组织理论和制度社会学的理论。最后,本文强调了一系列研究不足的领域:(1)相对于目前主要采用的实用主义观点,理论化的研究更加广泛;(2)将“硬数据”纳入组织绩效分析;(3)对转型过程采取更广阔的视角,即除了简单的制造轨迹,特别是复杂的项目类型的过程和网络组织;(4)受益于私营部门绩效管理研究的见解,例如关于绩效薪酬制度的见解。
