Importance of Performance Management And Measurement of Productivity
Workshop on Performance Management for Public-sector
22-26 June 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka
Importance of Productivity
• Productivity performance is important for a country’s future economic prospects
• Factors of inputs (labor and capital) cannot increase indefinitely. Productivity gains enable an economy to produce more for the same amount of inputs, leading to economic growth in the long run
• Monitoring and improving national productivity capability (supply side of economy) are important aspects of public policy in many countries
2
Measuring Productivity• Productivity is used as a ratio of an output volume measure to
an input volume measure.• The APO uses national accounts as the basis for productivity
estimates. APO mainly uses labor productivity and total factor productivity (TFP) as two main measures
• Labor productivity can be measured in a number of ways, depending on the definitions of output and labor input measures. APO uses the basic-price GDP per actual hour worked, which adjusts for different work patterns across countries and across time.
• The TFP is productivity accounted to innovation and knowledge

Characteristics of the Public Sector
8
• No distinctive measures of performance such as price, profit• Do not depend on market system : earning is not related to
sales• Difficult to secure responsibility based on performance • Because of these characteristics, the public sector has
difficulties in maintaining performance • Problem of X-inefficiency, government failure• 1980~90s : Economic difficulties
Backgrounds of Public Sector
New Paradigms of Public Administration
• Citizen-oriented Management Supplier oriented ⇔management
• Performance-oriented Management Input and ⇔Process oriented management
• Market-oriented Management Government ⇔oriented management

Productivity in Public Sector
Productivity Measures
1. What is Productivity Measures?
- index or indicators of measuring the magnitudes of productivity level- specified data can be collected, produced and applied for the measures
2. Types of Productivity Measures
- input measures - workload measures - output measures - outcome measures
11
Productivity Measures
3. Types of Productivity Measures
efficiency measures = quantitative measures
effectiveness measures = qualitative measures
4. For Result-oriented productivity management
use outcome or at least output measures
12
Activity or Workload Measures
Measures productivity in terms of activity or workload
How to approach to define activity or workload measures - describe what kinds of activity do you usually do - classify the activities specified - specify measures to reflect the magnitudes and quality of classified activities
Examples of workload or activity measures - number of registered cases, processed cases - patrol mileages for police officers
Target of applying the workload or activity measures - best fit for the people or organization, who have no complete control over final work - usually best fit for the street level employees and work
13
Output Measures Measures the final products of activities
How to approach to define output measures - define the final products (outputs) produced from activities - specify measures to reflect the magnitudes and quality of the outputs - efficiency measures can be employed for standardization (ex, number of cars produced vs unit time consumed per a car production)
Examples of output measures - number of trainees finished - roads constructed - number of research report published - number of cases prosecuted
Target of applying the output measures - at the stage of completing a work or product - usually appropriate for institutional level - a certain point of a work completed - complement for outcome measures 14
Outcome Measures
the degree of pre-specified goals accomplished the quality of service provided the status of a problem which is predesignated to be solved
Approaches of defining outcome measures
Measures the effects, impact of the final products (output)
what are the goals/results intended to accomplish through a certain project or policy? what kind of changes are expected to be happen in the regional society
or citizens? what are the possible long term or short term adverse impact? what kind of results/impact are expected to the society or citizens when the project or policy is terminated? what are the factors which decide the quality of a service? (accessibility, timeliness, politeness, appropriateness etc.)
⇒ specify measures or indicators which can represent the above mentioned items 15
Outcome Measures
- satisfaction index - quality of services- number of crimes reported per 1,000 people- the ratio of employed trainees/trainees completed
Types of outcome measures
- employ at the stage of completing a work or product - usually appropriate for institutional or functional level impact
Examples of outcome measures
- completion rate of prescribed goals- quality of services : accessibility, timeliness, usefulness, politeness etc.- the condition of a certain region or citizens- survey result on customer satisfaction
Target of applying the outcome measures
16
For whom the productivity information is needed - president, parliament, citizen : institutional level productivity info. mostly outcome info. - head of institution or department : department or personal level productivity info. mostly output or workload info.
Both top-down and bottom-up approach - Top-down for those who use productivity info. - Bottom-up for those who are evaluated
Unintended effects of applying productivity measures - measure only what can be measured - do only what are measured
