Kamu Sektöründe Bireysel Performansa Göre Ücret Uygulamaları: Başarısızlığın Yaygınlaşması

Abstract

Kamu yönetiminde uzun süredir performans temelli bütçe programları, stratejik yönetim, kalite yönetimi, piyasa analizi, performans yönetimi gibi özel sektör kaynaklı araçlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu araçlardan en fazla tartışılanlardan birisi performansa göre ücret programlarıdır. Performansa göre ücret uygulamaları giderek yaygınlaşmasına karşın araştırmalar kamuda bireysel performansa göre ücret programlarının büyük oranda başarısız olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında farklı ülkelerin kamu yönetiminde gerçekleştirilen performansa göre ücret uygulamaları, bu alanda yapılan araştırmalar ve programların uygulama nedenleri irdelenmektedir. Bireysel düzeyde gerçekleştirilmeye çalışılan performansa göre ücret uygulamalarındaki başarısızlıklara rağmen uygulamanın yaygınlaşmasındaki paradoksal durum analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Individual Pay for Performance in the Public Sector: Dissemination of the Failure

Abstract

For a long time public organizations have been using tools and techniques originating from the private sector such as performance based budget programs, strategic management, quality management, market analysis and performance management. Among these tools and techniques, pay for performance programs may be the most discussed one. Even though reports and surveys indicate that individual pay for performance schemes in the public sector failed to a large extent, these programs have been diffusing throughout the world. This study analyzes pay for performance practices in public administration in different countries. In this context, the research on the success/failure of the pay for performance programs will be explained briefly. Then, different views on the dissemination of the programs in the public sector are reviewed. Even if pay for performance programs at the individual level do not have a success, we are going to
explain why the programs are getting popular as a paradox
