IJPSPM fosters discussion on performance management in the public sector, with an emphasis on the implementation of performance management technologies. It acknowledges the complexity of public sector performance management as an interface between the values placed upon public sector activities and their implementation. This gap between what is desirable and what is feasible stands at the crossing of many public sector issues such as cultural and ideological processes as well as regulation and economic processes operating over different space-time scales.

 



 Topics covered include

  • Theory/practice of performance management
  • Evaluation methods/practices, analyses of efficiency
  • Performance benchmarking/measurement, organisational impact
  • Performance information utilisation, organisational learning
  • Output/outcome/quality indicator definitions
  • Performance reward issues
  • Visibilisation of performance, performance indicator efficiency
  • Organisational paths of performance
  • Link between values/cultures and performance management
  • Performance measurement roles in transforming institutional settings
  • Performance measurement/management/policy context relationships
  • Leadership, accountability
  • Innovation in public sector management
  • Managing public infrastructure technology
  • Public sector as venture capitalist/entrepreneur

Objectives

The objectives of IJPSPM are to share the latest advances that the field has to offer and to create a sustained dialogue between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex role of performance management in the public sector.

The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers. We promote comparative studies which, emphasising the importance of context, do not abandon the quest for theoretical explanations and generalisations, and which develop theories that are context-sensitive.

All methodologies, such as analytical, empirical, behavioural, survey and case studies are welcome.


Readership

IJPSPM's readership comprises academics, practitioners, policy makers, consultants and research students with an interest in research in the field of public sector performance management. The journal provides a vehicle to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.


Contents

IJPSPM publishes original papers, review papers, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in public sector performance management will occasionally be published.
