Description

During the past decade, Congress has encouraged a focus on results and improved Fed. mgmt. by enacting a results-oriented statutory framework that calls for performance-based mgmt. This requires organizational cultures to improve decisionmaking, maximize performance, and assure accountability. This report provides results from the year 2000 survey of Fed. managers for each of the 28 agencies included in the survey for selected items regarding results-oriented agency climate, measurement of program performance, and use of performance information to make decisions that looking at high-performing organizations has found to be relevant to the success of those organizations.
