The Performance Management Gap between Local Government Practice in China and the Paradigm of New Public Management: A Case Study of Qingdao

摘要：

　　Performance Management is the core element of the New Public Management paradigm and an objective symbol of the philosophy of Enterprise Government.For the Chinese government, when performance management was first implemented in some local governments, it had a core focus on performance assessment, which resulted in divergence from the NPM paradigm from the beginning.In terms of form, the Chinese practice of local government performance management is now consistent with the New Public Management paradigm.Nevertheless, as shown in the case study of Qingdao, the performance evaluation criteria, assessment participants, purposes, etc., are actually more agreeable with local cultural traditions and economic and social conditions.To take advantage of the tool of performance management, it is necessary to clarify that performance assessment is only one part, not the entirety, of performance management, and performance management practices should not be limited to incentives for civil servants.A comprehensive and complete cycle of performance management is needed for local governments to promote administrative efficiency and effectiveness and, more importantly, adopt service-oriented governance.
