Performance Indicators: Use in State Administration

Literature Review on Performance Indicators: Use in State Administration

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Peter J. Haas offers the following summary about the topic of Performance Indicators: Use in State Administration: The critical aspect of performance measurement is the selection, definition, and application of appropriate measures of government activities. Ideally, performance measurement efforts are integrated into a framework for improving government decisions as part of a performance management system. Performance measures may have other uses beyond informing resource allocations decisions. State performance measurements systems vary considerably in practice. Performance measurement is not without difficulties, costs, and potential risks and pitfalls.
