Hierarchy to high-performance? Evaluating 30yrs of Senior Executive Service

本项目旨在评估1980年代在公共部门引入的高级行政人员制度是否能够提供上级业绩。这项研究将审查所有九个澳大利亚司法管辖区，随着时间的推移，以确定如何以及为什么制度框架发生变化，分析SES的组成，并确定其不断变化的角色和责任。预期成果将使人们更好地了解领导政策制定和服务提供的行政人员的概况和作用，并评价目前的体制框架是否优化了他们发挥作用的能力。

This project aims to evaluate whether Senior Executive Service (SES) schemes, introduced in the public sector the 1980s, have enabled the delivery of superior performance. This study will examine all nine Australian jurisdictions, across time in order to identify how and why institutional frameworks changed, analyse the composition of the SES and identify their changing roles and accountabilities. The expected outcomes will provide a better understanding of the profile and roles of executives who lead policy development and service delivery, and an evaluation of whether current institutional frameworks optimise their capacity to perform their role.
