Managerial Perspective

This article explores the relationship between performance information use for different functions based on two of Moynihan’s analyses and a managerial perspective, utilizing passive and purposeful use. The results of this study suggest that both accountability and managers’ proximity to the performance system exert strong influence on the use of performance information in the public sector. In terms of organizational factors, data quality and meaningful measures are associated with performance information use. On the other hand, external attention has no effect on performance information use regardless of the types of performance information.

The Relationship

Previous studies are inconsistent in their findings about the relationship between external involvement and performance. The authors attribute this inconsistency to the misfit between external involvement and business environment. Drawing the concept of fit between information processing capabilities and needs from information processing theory, they develop the fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment and examine their impacts on performance. Information processing capabilities are measured by the degree of two types of external involvement in the NPD process and information processing needs are assessed based on three dimensions of business environment. Cluster analysis was used to develop the taxonomies of fit between external involvement and business environment. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the impacts of fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment on performance. The results reveal six fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment. ANOVA results show that the fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment are related to both operational performance and business performance, supporting our fit theory.

Organizational behaviour involves the design of work as well as the psychological, emotional and interpersonal behavioural dynamics that influence organizational performance. Management as a discipline concerned with the study of overseeing activities and supervising people to perform specific tasks is crucial in organizational behaviour and corporate effectiveness. Management emphasizes the design, implementation and arrangement of various administrative and organizational systems for corporate effectiveness. While the individuals, and groups bring their skills, knowledge, values, motives, and attitudes into the organization, and thereby influencing it, the organization, on the other hand, modifies or restructures the individuals and groups through its structure, culture, policies, politics, power, and procedures, and the roles expected to be played by the people in the organization. This study conducted through the exploratory research design involved 125 participants, and result showed strong positive relationship between the variables of interest. The study was never exhaustive due to limitations in terms of time and current relevant literature, therefore, further study could examine the relationship between personality characteristics and performance in the public sector, where productivity is not outstanding, when compared with the private sector. Based on the result of this investigation it was recommended that organizations should provide emotional intelligence programmes for their membership as an important pattern of increasing co-operative behaviours and corporate effectiveness.

Hindu-Buddhist culture has a strong influence on the culture of people in Indonesia, especially Javanese. Some cultures that are still carried out today are offering culture. The offerings are used by the Javanese people in various special events. For example when building a house. Javanese people believe that offering offerings when building a house can be a source of safety when building a house. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the purpose of using offerings for safety when building a house. The research method used is descriptive qualitative interview method in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java Province. The results of this study show the relationship between community trust in the use of offerings with safety when building homes. As well as showing that although the Indonesian people now have many other religions such as Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, but belief in mystical things are still entrenched and can be seen today. With the publication of the results of this study it is expected that the public will know more about the diversity of cultures and beliefs that still apply today in Indonesia, one of which is the culture of Javanese community offerings when building houses.

AbstractOrganizational factors have frequently shown a significant influence on the use of performance information by public managers, but the study of task-related factors has been neglected. Combining insights from public administration, organizational studies, and a behavioural approach, this article investigates whether some task characteristics influence the use of performance information by public managers. Drawing on an e-mail survey on managers working in Italian medium-size municipalities, an empirical analysis was developed. Findings show that task analysability and task variability directly affect performance information use by public managers. Task interdependence shows an indirect effect on performance information use through its availability.
