Rezumat:

The performance of the public sector affects us all. There are at
least three reasons why we should be interested in how well it
functions: it is big; its outputs are special; and it is getting
bigger. With all these, in Romania, the performance within the public
sector represents a concept not so analyzed and rarely applied in
practice. There is not the same situation in countries with a high
developed economy, which represent an interest for us, along with the
European integration.
Internationally, since the 1970s processes of modernization and
reorganization of public institution have been initiated in diverse
countries in the world. The society has demanded greater efficiency in
rendering of services, a better application of public resources and
also questioned the effective bureaucratic model. In this context, the
model of managing government institutions gains force, consistence and
become more credible.
Flexibility, decentralization, creativity, autonomy of management, and
a management contract used as quantification instrument are basic
characteristics of the management reforms that focus on results.
Results determination within the public sector and the implementation
of a system meant to measure the financing and non-financing
performances need an exact definition of the objectives and purposes
of each organization and constituent institution.
