Managing for Results Emerging Benefits from Selected Agencies' Use of Performance Agreements
Abstract
The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) provides a strategic management framework intended to improve federal performance and hold agencies accountable for achieving results. Effective implementation of this framework requires agencies to clearly establish results-oriented performance goals for which they will be held accountable, measure progress towards those goals, determine the strategies and resources to cost effectively accomplish the goals, and then use performance information to make the programmatic decisions necessary to improve performance. One way to embed such a framework throughout agencies is to align individual employee performance expectations with agency goals so that individuals understand the connection between their daily activities and their organization's success.
