Performance Management in China: Its Characteristics in Practice and Its Theoretical Value

中西方国家政府绩效管理在宏观环境, 制度基础,功能定位等方面存在着诸多差 异,政府绩效管理的价值定位,指标体系,实施机制等要素也不尽相同。我国各地政 府在实施绩效管理的实践中借鉴西方绩效管理的经验, 又不单纯停留在制度移植与 照搬层面,而是着眼于我国经济社会发展, 人文环境,政府改革现状等实际,立足比 较,反思与超越的眼界,建设体现中国国情的中国式绩效管理模式,以积极推进政府 管理改革事业。基于政府绩效管理中西方之间经验的比较,分析中国特色的政府绩效 管理的实质和理论价值,可以发现这是一种新模式, 即创效式绩效管理模式,这一模 式涵括的体制,机制,功能, 辅助性创效等内在结构是完善的, 其未来发展路径还有 待深入探讨

Chinese and Western government performance management differs in terms of their macro-environment, institutional foundation and functional definition, as well as in their values, indicator systems and implementation mechanisms. In their practice, local governments in China go beyond institutional transplantation and imitation while learning from Western experience in performance management. Through comparison, reflection and efforts to surpass the West, and on the basis of the realities of China’s socioeconomic development, cultural conditions and governmental reform, they have initiated a Chinese performance management model that fits China’s conditions, with a view to vigorously advancing the enterprise of administrative reform. From comparing experience in China and the West and analyzing the essence and the theoretical value of the Chinese model, we can conclude that it is a new model that pursues innovation-led performance improvement. It has a well-established internal structure that seeks performance improvement across the dimensions of institutions, mechanisms, functions and supplementary aspects. Nevertheless, the approach to be taken in its future development remains to be further studied.
