An Implementation Study and Empirical Research on Evaluation Systems in Japanese Local Government

本研究是对地方政府绩效评估体系实施的条件、存在的问题和成功因素的调查。从这项研究中发现，执行支持和领导是重要的，以改善使用行政评价信息的结果。这些似乎不仅对使用结果有影响，而且对以组织为导向的权力下放、组织内沟通和支持气候也有影响。即使是在经济激励难以发挥作用的行政组织中，也可以通过行政评价这一工具，对员工的沟通和激励产生影响。因此，组织内沟通的程度、支助气候和权力下放对使用行政评价信息的结果产生影响。在行政评价中难以建立基准产生了负面影响，但对结果变量没有直接的负面影响。如果很难建立基准，通过建立持续的支持、领导、利用行政评价信息的组织氛围和权利/责任制度（权力下放），行政评价制度可以成为有意义的制度。

This research is an investigation for the conditions, the problems and the success factors of the implementation of the evaluation system in local governments. From this research, it was found that implementation support and leadership are important in improving the outcome of using administrative evaluation information. These seem to have an effect not only simply on usage outcome, but also on budget-oriented decentralization, intra-organizational communication, and the support climate. Even for administrative organizations that have difficulty making economic incentives works, it appears possible to have an effect on employee communication and motivation by using administrative evaluation as a tool. As a result, the level of intra-organizational communication, support climate, and decentralization have an effect on the outcome of using administrative evaluation information. The difficulty of establishing benchmarks in administrative evaluation has a negative impact, but it did not have a direct negative impact on the result variable. If establishing benchmarks is difficult, by building continuous support, leadership, an organizational climate that makes use of administrative evaluation information, and a rights/responsibilities system (decentralization), an administrative evaluation system can become something meaningful.
