| Abstract: | Performance measurement helps organizations to identify gaps and to take corrective actions
as important ingredients for an organization to excel in today's competitive environment. In
order to evaluate performance properly, developing and implementing a workable system that
suits the requirements of a job is vital to prove that they are within the bounds of the
expected results.
This research is conducted with the objective of assessing the implementation process of
result oriented performance management system (ROPMS) in the civil service organizations
focusing on identifying major achievements gained and challenges faced. To assess the
situation three civil service organizations were selected for the study they are:
Ministries of Finance and Economic Development, Ministry of Trade and Industry and
Ministry of Revenue.
The study employed qualitative research methodology . Data was collected through
questionnaire method and analyzed. The main areas of focus in the study is to understand
and analyze the major organizational factors which contributed for proper implementation of
ROPMS, the appropriateness of the implementation process and the level of commitment of
management and employee to facilitate implementation of ROPMS for the intended results.
The findings reveal that creation of awareness about strategic planning, and ROPMS,
developed a positive attitude towards vision, mission and objectives of organizations,
recognized as a better system to minimize subjectivity and helped organization to strengthen
employee - supervisor relationship are some of the achievements of the system.
The necessity of maximizing staff participation in the development of strategic plan,
improvement in leadership quality, integrating ROPMS with other systems of the
organizations, absence of proper monitoring and evaluation system and organ, inadequacy of
measurement standards, lack of proper culture to implement the system are identified as
major challenges faced during the implementation. To overcome the challenges the
importance of developing and implementing an integrated performance management system,
monitoring and evaluation system, empowering civil service organizations, the think-tank
groups, continuous training and coaching, considering the name ROPMS and further study
for the system implementability and sustainability are recommended.
If proper attention is given from the part of the government at large and leaders of individual
organizations ROPMS can bring about efficiency and effectiveness for the organizations
within a short period of time. |
