摘要
This article provides an overview of the origins and deliberations of performance measurement efforts in the U.S. government and draws upon the American experience to identify the challenges and opportunities this management tool presents for public managers. The first section describes the political context that has shaped performance measurement efforts in the U.S. government. Then what we have learned about the challenges managers face in designing and using performance measurement is reviewed. And in the third section, current and evolving issues that affect the effectiveness of performance measurement efforts are discussed.
