ABSTRACT

In recent times, public sector reform with a major focus towards improving performance has become one of the key concerns of governments across the globe. Countries are adopting various performance management models in a bid to improve public sector performance. Bangladesh’s response to this global trend is rather slow. It has not yet made any precise move in this regard although the public sector is inflicted with inefficiency, ineffectiveness, unresponsiveness and above all, poor performance. The central concern of this paper is to devise a performance management model for the public sector in Bangladesh. In doing so, it has identified the missions and visions of public sector governance as the parameters of performance and then analyzed the context of public sector by focusing its strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
