PurposeLean-inspired approaches and performance management systems are being implemented in public healthcare organisations internationally. However, the literature is inconclusive regarding the benefits of these management tools and there is a lack of knowledge regarding processes for large-scale implementation of these tools. This article aims to describe the implementation process and to better understand how this process influences the mandated performance management system.Design/methodology/approachThis research is based on a comparative case study of three healthcare organisations in Canada. Data consist documents, non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews with key actors (n = 30). Analysis is based on a sociotechnical approach to management tools that considers organisational context, and the tool's technical substrate, theory of action and managerial philosophy.FindingsResults show that despite a standardised national mandate, the tool as implemented varied between organisations in terms of technical substrate and managerial philosophy. These variations are explained by the flexibility of the technical substrate, the lack of clarity of the managerial philosophy, and some contextual elements. Successful implementation may rest upon high hybridization of the tool on these different dimensions. A precise and prescribed technical substrate is not sufficient to guarantee implementation of a managerial philosophy.Practical implicationsMandated implementation of management tools may be more successful if it is explicit on the managerial philosophy, the technical substrate and the link between the two, and if it provides some leeway to adapt both to the organisational context.Originality/valueThis is one of the few studies to describe and analyse the process involved in mandated large-scale implementation of performance management systems in public healthcare organisations.

PT. X merupakan perusahaan yang memiliki bisnis pada bidang kuliner. Sejak didirikan hingga saat ini, PT. X belum pernah mencapai target secara sempurna. Pimpinan PT. X merasa hal tersebut disebabkan karena faktor internal dan faktor eksternal perusahaan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan intervensi yang dapat mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, yaitu penerapan performance management system berbasis balanced scorecard, karena dapat mendukung peningkatan kinerja perusahaan melalui pengelolaan sumber daya manusia dengan mempertimbangkan kondisi internal dan eksternal perusahaan.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan intervensi berupa rancangan performance management system berbasis balanced scorecard yang paling sesuai dengan PT. X untuk meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan melalui pengelolaan sumber daya manusia. Metode penelitian ini adalah research & development. Hasil rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan berupa performance management system pada tahap prerequisites (rumusan harapan pimpinan dan skema arahan strategi, balanced scorecard (objective).Hasil evaluasi terhadap rancangan intervensi, yaitu secara keseluruhan para rater menilai rancangan intervensi yang dirumuskan telah tepat dalam mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi, namun pada beberapa hal kurang aplikatif jika saat ini langsung diterapkan di perusahaan. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan ini dapat diterima oleh pihak ahli dan user, meskipun terdapat beberapa catatan yang membangun untuk menyempurnakan rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan. Saran yang dapat diberikan berdasarkan penelitian ini, yaitu penelitian selanjutnya harus tetap mengacu pada konsep performance management system tahap prerequisites yang telah dirumuskan, agar pengembangan tetap terintegrasi dengan arah, tujuan, dan strategi perusahaan, serta PT. X juga perlu melakukan pilot test untuk menguji keefektifan rancangan intervensi yang telah dirumuskan.

The case highlights the key concerns and issues an organization may face if its performance management system (PMS) does not serve its intended purpose and how it can cause demotivation and dissatisfaction among employees and result in an overall decline in organizational performance. It also illustrates how employees’ organizational culture and perception can be as important as the system design and can present challenges even if an elaborate system is planned. In the face of increasing turmoil among employees towards management and the decreasing performance of the organization, TECHNO21 decided to change its current PMS, which seemed a difficult but necessary step to achieve the desired performance levels and overall strategic objectives of the organization.
