Abstract: This study researched on the association between performance contracting (PC) actions and public sector performance. Theoretical relationships were tested empirically through a study carried out on 141 senior level managers in the public sector of Kenya. This study demonstrates how government departments that adopt PC practices obtain better performance. Subject of benchmarking on PC and new results measurement tools have not been exhaustively examined. Further direction of investigation is proposed considering this aspect. The research ascertains practices that have a favourable effect on performance. The conceptualisation of PC represents a theoretical innovation. This scale can be useful in other PC embracing organisations. The research signifies that these procedures have a positive consequence on public sector performance.
