Abstract
Result-oriented management and budgeting reform has become a worldwide trend since the 1980s. However, the so-called mainstream reform is facing serious challenges in practice. The evaluation of its impacts on policy-making and the improvement of public services calls for an examination of both conceptual and methodological difficulties. This paper views the result-oriented management and budgeting reform as a major tool to improve governance in general. Therefore, the analysis of the government performance shall integrate into the analysis of institutional, organizational, and cultural contexts. Meanwhile, researchers in public administration can apply DEA, SFA, and MOSFCA approaches into the assessment of efficiency and effectiveness of public services. Qualitative research, especially in-depth case study shall be enhanced.
