In recent years, our government has been influenced by the movement of New Public Management and Reinventing Government all around the world and has carried on a lot of initiatives in public administration. In order to build a high-performance system of governance, the Executive Yuan also issued a mandate about performance assessment in government agencies and began to construct the whole performance appraisal systems from 2002.
Although most of scholars admitted the effort of Executive Yuan deserved to be praised, we couldn't deny the fact that the development of our government performance evaluation system is not as good as our expectations. In United State, the government and its agencies have been appraised by OMB and Congress base on the Government Performance and Results Act from 1993. For clearing the conceptions of performance measurement and evaluation, think tanks have already developed out a series of resources like teaching materials, theories, researching groups, ...etc., to help the agencies establish the models of performance management. Until now, our system lacked the same kind of support from the theorists and practicians in the field of government performance management.
Thus the author introduced the framework of performance measurement and evaluation of America academic associations to promote our agencies' understandings of relevant ideas. In addition to that, the author yielded an integrated structure of performance conception to make the officials implement performance management program step by step more easily.
