This paper aims to identify the international literature approaches regarding the subject of performance evaluation of the public sector. Within a qualitative approach, this research applies the ProKnow-C method to select a bibliographic portfolio (BP). It was uncovered a theoretical framework that discloses the evolution of performance evaluation in the public sector and then this paper reports, specifically, the steps of the review, which also contributes, as a guide, to the improvement of scientific literature reviews in general. In this manuscript, 39 research papers were selected out of a first search that resulted in 2228 papers. Basic and advanced bibliometric analysis were performed to identify some particularities of the research area like authors, most quoted papers and journals, besides the specific concerns of performance evaluation in the public sector, such as the need for performance appraisal fostering organizational strategy.

Management and performance measurement in the public sector are inherently more complex compared to the business sector. Conflicting values such as politics and abstract performance targets make public sector performance management and measurement have distinctive points with different challenges as well. This study aims to describe the various challenges that occur in the context of developing management and performance measurement of the public sector in Indonesia after the implementation of The Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning Civil Servants. The researcher applied a literature study by conducting literature inclusion on two main bases, namely internal and external problems in management and public sector performance measurement. In the end, there are four challenges that must be considered in order to further improve the management and performance measurement of the public sector in Indonesia, namely managing the good and bad impacts of management and performance measurement, managing bias and independence of performance appraisal, managing performance during times of disruption and pandemic and managing the performance of the millennial generation.

Open data has been given a lot of attention in the public. In some situation ‘open by default’ has become established as a core principle, whereas others  argue about the limited results and the lack of robust studies demonstrating the value, and point to the risk that open data might turn out to be a short lived policy fad. This special issue contains a variety of research papers addressing this topic from different views and providing recent research results on open data. The papers in this issue deepen the understanding of open data and show that the subject of open data is moving from the general to the study of specifics. The special issue also includes invited papers presented at the first public meeting of the SharePSI project. Share-PSI 2.0 is the European network for the exchange of experience and ideas around implementing open data policies in the public sector.

In an aim to contribute to already existing knowledge upon the subject of smart cities and the public sector’s wider knowledge in Europe, this study investigates the perception by the municipalities and the wider public sector, responsible for implementing smart solutions in the environment. The understanding of the concept of smart cities/villages by municipalities is on a low level due to the fact that the problem is too wide, not well described, solutions even wider, accompanied by the lack of experts able to offer comprehensive solutions to municipalities. The study presents factors according to the current municipalities’ knowledge (environmental awareness, knowledge and prior experience) and the existing market, of whether these factors can be said that affect the acceptance of smart cities. The public is already aware of the smart cities as a general concept, however, the study sheds light upon the established knowledge that the decision makers have in five countries, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Lithuania, and Denmark.

In this article we focus on identifying the specificity of digital transformation within the public sector. The aim of the article is to present the main mechanisms resulting from the introduction of digital innovations that have changed the functioning of the public sector. Starting from a discussion on the technological requirements of digital transformation, we briefly characterise the use of computers and the Internet in public administration, resulting in the development of e-services and administration. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing the specificity of the implementation of the new digital technologies in public administration, focusing mainly on artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Our thesis is that the impact of innovative digital technologies on the operation standards and structure of public administration should be analysed through the prism of interrelated mechanisms of datafication and platformisation, characteristic for the digital economy. The adopted methodology, which is based on an analysis of the subject literature and an analysis of new technology implementations in public administration in EU countries, indicates the pilot, random and non-transformational nature of these implementations, partly due to the lack of well-established methodologies to study and assess the maturity of digital transformation within the public sector.

This article discusses forms of employment and attitudes towards work measured with internal motivation to work, job satisfaction and loyalty of employees towards the organization. Primary identity (gender, age), secondary identity (residence, education) and organizational identity (occupied position, work experience) were considered in studying the behavior of people in the organization in the context of the form of employment (on the basis of the present research). This article is based on selected literature of the subject and part of own research carried out from 2012 to 2014 in the Małopolskie voivodeship in enterprises operating in the public sector in the construction industry.
