The Korea Local Administration Review

The importance of government organization has been gradually emphasized with the development of organizational theory. The performance management is one of strong tools to improve government’s performance. In this study, we empirically investigate how the public employees accept their performance management acceptance results by using the survey data from the Korea Institute of Public Administration. For the estimation, we classify the group with some standards such as the level of performance and its acceptance. The results suggest that the perceived performance management is positively significant on organizational performance. Furthermore, the share of poor performer and goal clarity show positive significance on organizational performance. With these results, we expect that it can contribute to improve the sound performance management in public sector.
