Performance management systems can be powerful tools in helping an agency achieve its mission and ensuring employees at every level of the organization are working toward common ends. Performance management systems should help employees understand their responsibilities and how their day-to-day work contributes toward meeting their agency's strategic goals as well as providing a mechanism for giving employees candid, specific feedback on how well they are meeting their rater's expectations. For agencies like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that are undergoing a cultural change, performance management systems help reinforce behaviors and actions that support the agency's obsession. In February 2000, IRS implemented a new performance management system for its executives and managers and in October 2001 implemented a new performance% management system for frontline employees. These systems were built upon IRS's three strategic organizational goals-"top- quality service to each taxpayer in every interaction," "top-quality service to all taxpayers through the fair and uniformly application of the law," and "productivity through a quality work environment" and the corresponding balanced performance satisfaction, business results (quality and quantity), and employee satisfaction that are applied to all organizational units, from IRS-wide down to the group level.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed selected Government Performance and Results Act pilot projects, focusing on the: (1) primary approaches taken by selected pilot projects to align employee performance management with organizational missions and goals; and (2) issues or challenges, if any, that these pilot projects commonly confronted while developing and implementing these approaches. GAO noted that: (1) although all six pilot projects GAO reviewed included specific efforts to align their employee performance management systems with organizational missions and goals, their approaches varied in significant ways; (2) one way was in the kinds or groups of employees on whom they focused; (3) four of the pilot projects focused on managers rather than on staff at other levels; (4) the projects also varied in the extent to which organizational goals were explicitly reflected in employees' performance plans, and in whether they emphasized creating accountability for results at the individual or team level; (5) the two other pilot projects focused their approaches on essentially all employees, relying on total quality management principles as a guide and organizing employees into self-directed work teams; (6) none of the six pilot projects GAO reviewed reported having formally evaluated its employee performance management approach, but all reported possible benefits; (7) the six pilot projects faced several common issues or challenges; (8) the first of these involved identifying the flexibilities available to them--including human resource management (HRM) waivers and demonstration project authority--to tailor their HRM systems to their organizational missions and goals and other organizational circumstances or needs; (9) the second issue or challenge GAO identified involved the six pilot projects' efforts to include in their performance management approaches appropriate and meaningful goals and performance measures; (10) third, as the pilot projects worked to become more performance-based, each was confronted with the need to redirect its organizational culture toward a new understanding of the organization's mission or way of doing business and to secure the buy-in of employees; (11) the fourth issue GAO identified involved unintended consequences that pilot project officials said they confronted in implementing their new approaches, some finding that employees might try to game the system--that is, manipulate the performance measures to make their performance look better than it might actually have been--or might perceive a lack of fairness in the approach's implementation; and (12) officials at the six pilot agencies were aware of their employees' concerns and reported steps they had taken to keep abreast of the views of the managers and other employees who were the focus of the agencies' performance management efforts.

Expectations for performance management systems continue to grow in the public sector. Yet few administrators know how to effectively implement and sustain these systems. Performance-Based Management Systems: Effective Implementation and Maintenance supports practical efforts to build and maintain performance management systems in public organizations, explaining obstacles to measurement efforts and providing guidance on how to overcome them. The book begins by exploring performance measurement as a key element of performance-based management systems. It discusses its legacy and its limitations and offers competing explanations of the factors that constrain its effective use. Next, it focuses on building theory in support of practice through a mixed methods approach. It examines research reconciling the conflicting explanations for the lack of proper use of performance measurement information. Then it offers new insights for developing a context-sensitive model of performance measurement that can lead to effective practices. The third part develops these insights into a pragmatic model of performance-based management. It provides a realistic explanation of the contributions of performance measurement and gives advice derived from current practice. The author concludes by highlighting the rationale, methods, and findings of two studies that served as the foundation for this book. She also provides final suggestions of how to move practice and theory forward. This volume explains why performance measurement is not more widely used in the public sector, and explores how implementation of performance measurement can be improved with insights gained from extant literature on public policy, organizational politics and culture, and knowledge utilization. Mastery of this material will enable practitioners to understand how to effectively implement policies that will positively impact their organizations and their employees.

Linking various disciplines and management functions, Integrated Performance Management provides the reader with a concrete framework to manage organizations successfully.
