ABSTRACT
Introduction Drawing upon Frederick Mosher’s characterization of trends and values dominating public administration in dierent historical time periods, Moynihan and Pandey (2005) pronounced the beginning of the era of performance management a decade ago. As other reform movements and practices have waned, performance management has become an enduring part of a new global “good government” movement (Pandey et al. 2014; Pandey 2015). In this chapter, our focus is on public policies promoting implementation of performance management at the level of federal/national government. In focusing on public policy initiatives promoting performance management at the federal/national level, we include policy initiatives emanating from the legislative as well as executive branches of national/federal government.
