Governing Local Area Development through Dynamic Performance Management

2017

Several attempts of local areas development fail due to a predominant attention to the internal performance of public organizations. The perspective of local area development may enhance performance management in public entities by considering: a) their outcomes in the local area; b) the inter-institutional relationships actable with other local areas’ organizations to achieve such outcome; c) the improvement of the activity of other social institutions, enterprises and families, through networking and trust. This paper proposes a dynamic performance management (DPM) conceptual model to govern local area development and includes a case study of the Integrated Water System of Agrigento, Ital…

Supporting public sector management through simulation-based methods: a dynamic performance management approach

2018

AbstractThough it draws a number of precursors, simulation-based techniques applied to traditional performance management frameworks constitute a novel approach to support public sector institutions in framing organizational performance dynamics and, as a result, improving public service delivery. This paper aims at contributing to the improvement of the outcomes achievable from the use of traditional performance management systems in the public sector by combining them with a simulation-based method named System Dynamics modeling. Such an approach is called Dynamic Performance Management.

Public Organizations and Local Rural Development : an Empirical Analysis

2005

This paper describes an empirical approach designed and adopted to analyze and qualify the role of some public agencies devoted to rural development. These public organizations operate as critical agents in managing local public goods within a complex relation system functioning on a rural area. On the bases of the experiences and observations made on a case study in Central Italy, it emerges an analytical framework deriving from the correlation of an objective and subjective perspectives in the evaluation of these organizations’ performances. From these correlations, it derives a model to empirically classify these agencies evaluating also their potentials in creating integration, condensa…

Análisis de la cultura organizacional de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Valencia

2017

Resumen Este artículo analiza la cultura organizativa de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Valencia (España). Se ha utilizado el Inventario de Cultura Organizacional de Cooke y Lafferty, validado por la literatura científica y muy empleado. Mide tres estilos culturales: constructivo, pasivo-defensivo y agresivo-defensivo. El instrumento se ha aplicado a una muestra de 363 alumnos/as del grado de Psicología, obteniéndose bajos niveles en el índice de desviación media, lo que permite establecer conclusiones a nivel agregado. En suma, la cultura percibida en este centro universitario no sobresale especialmente por ningún estilo en particular, aunque apunta muy ligeramente hacia un…
