| Summary: | © 2015 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. This article discusses the history and features of South Koreas government performance management and evaluation system. The Korean system was initially influenced by New Public Management and Reinventing Government as practiced in the United States, but it has developed distinct features that stem from South Koreas institutional and cultural context. These features reflect a blend of Western institutions and Korean cultural influences that emphasize centralization, hierarchy, group harmony, and submission to higher authority. The institutionalized representation and involvement of civilians in the committee-type bodies that oversee performance evaluation at all levels, and the adoption of a comprehensive and advanced information technology platform, on the other hand, signify a desire to break from the past. |
