政府績效資訊內外部運用之影響因素-社會責難壓力與績效資訊詮釋的分析觀點

The Determinants of Internal and External Use of Government Performance Information: Perspectives of Public Blame and Performance Information Interpretation

摘要


伴隨新公共管理的思潮,績效管理與衡量概念同樣席捲世界,使得各國政府紛紛採行相關制度建立和設計。然而,若欲使績效管理制度能夠發揮提升政府施政作為的積極效果,績效資訊的妥善運用便是其中的關鍵。但是從政府機關的實際經驗中觀察,卻似乎存有一種偏好運用於策略規劃、組織管理等內部作為,而在對外資訊公開方面則是意願偏低之運用傾向。爰此,本文主要的研究問題即在於:影響政府部門對內與對外績效資訊運用的因素為何?是否有所不同?而若是行政機關於內外部績效資訊運用有其差別考量的話,造成此現象的主要因素為何?行政機關所感受到的外部環境壓力,例如社會責難,是否為其關鍵?面對外部環境的壓力,身處績效體制的行政部門,是否可能從其績效資訊呈現與詮釋上採取策略性回應做法?為回答上述研究問題,本研究採三段類聚抽樣法,隨機抽樣19個中央部會及其所屬機關/單位,針對中選之機關同仁共發放4009份問卷,扣除無效問卷,計有2,444份有效問卷。除基本之敘述性統計及相關分析外,本文亦以混合迴歸中之階層迴歸分析,據以檢測納入本研究之各變項對於機關績效資訊運用程度之影響。本文發現,影響政府部門對內和對外績效資訊運用之因素確實各有不同的組成,且行政機關所感受到的社會責難壓力亦確是促使其對外運用績效資訊的主要因素之一。此外,本文也發現,當行政機關因社會責難壓力必須對外公布其績效資訊時,會運用績效資訊詮釋的方式,作為一種回應策略。不過,因本研究之樣本未能滿足代表性要求,因此,本文之分析結果與發現,僅能代表參與本研究調查受訪者之意見。

While the concept and practices of performance management have been widespread in public agencies worldwide, how governments use performance information remains unclear. Moreover, it has been pinpointed that public agencies prefer using performance information internally for strategic and organizational management purposes to using it externally for the reason of information transparency. This study, in this regard, aims to answer the following research questions: Why does it differ when public agencies consider their use of performance information internally or externally? What are the determinants of internal and external use of government performance information? Is the difference of performance information use associated with the internal and external environments confronted by public agencies? Further, does the public blame that public agencies face matter? What would be the respondent strategy that governments may employ when they confront those public blames? To respond to the research questions, this study conducted a questionnaire survey which had 2,444 valid returns by employees in the central government. It finds that there are different compositions in terms of the determinants of public agencies' internal and external use of performance information. Public blame has also been confirmed as one of the drivers that significantly influence public organizations' consideration regarding the external use of performance information. Moreover, this study also reveals that releasing agency's performance information with interpretations is a blame-avoidance strategy usually chosen by public organizations.
