This chapter introduces the overall question that is central to this volume: How does management make a meaningful contribution to public service performance? A summary review of our knowledge of the concepts and relationships that feature in this overall question is provided. Describing the gaps in our knowledge, the chapter explains the approach taken by this volume in order to generate fresh insights. Thus, noting that what constitutes performance is dependent on the institutional context, the public values, and different stakeholders that emphasize some rather than other aspects of public service performance, the chapter introduces the institutional perspective. Signaling parallel lines of research with some centering management systems and others managers’ leadership, the chapter explains the multidisciplinary approach which combines the insights from public management, leadership, human resource management, and work and organization psychology to gain a better understanding of what managers do to impact performance. In addition, this multidisciplinary approach provides insight into how public employees’ attitudes and behaviors contribute to job and organization performance. The chapter concludes by presenting the conceptual model underlying the volume and explains the focus of the individual chapters and their contribution to answering the volume’s overall question.

This chapter describes how public managers contribute to public service performance. First, the chapter investigates three critical contextual factors for how public leadership can make a difference to organizational performance: managerial autonomy, capacity, and ability. Second, three leadership strategies are introduced which have been positively related to organizational performance in the public sector: goal-oriented, relational, and non-leader-centered leadership. Third, a new concept with particular relevance for public management is presented—reputation management—and this points to the relevance of considering the nexus between reputation and performance. It is argued that an organization’s reputation and performance may be more or less aligned. However, more importantly, an organization’s reputation per se also provides an important but less studied contextual factor of relevance for public managers’ ability to improve organizational performance. Finally, the chapter discusses how to develop leadership skills that increase public managers’ ability to contribute to public service performance.

“The question comes to mind as to whether or not many civil service agencies have been facing the facts of life. The place of the agency in the administrative structure of government tends to insulate it against many types of problems, but any deficiencies in pay policy may not be so explained. The current difficulties resulting from such deficiencies may be attributed in part to a situation which the agency itself probably helped create—the mores of public personnel administration. One of these mores is that various classes of employees should work for less money in the public service than they might be able to command elsewhere… The actual amount of compensation paid is generally a major determinent of whether or not a governmental unit attracts high-grade applicants and retains them in service after employment. Therefore, it is time that greater attention be given to rates of pay prevailing in the sources of recruitment for the public service. It is time that more consideration be given to the salaries paid by competitors for the services of trained employees. It is time that programs be inaugurated which translate such facts into action, that removes inequities from public pay schedules”

Performance of public service in Indonesia is still not satisfactory. This has been caused by the low performance culture in the public service. In this paper, service performance culture is elaborated into three dimensions, namely the commitment to service quality, performance reward and attention toward stakeholders. The analysis of quantitative data concerning the performance culture obtained from a survey of 54 ministries and the Non-Ministerial Government Institute in Indonesia indicated that performance culture of the Ministry and Institute does not support the creation of public service quality. Thus, improvements of performance culture in public service organizations in Indonesia should be managed by improving the performance culture of public service institution.Keywords: cultural performance, public service institutions, ministries, non-ministerial government institutions.Kinerja lembaga pelayanan publik di Indonesia saat ini masih belum memuaskan.
