Strateginio planavimo ypatumų viešajame sektoriuje teoriniai aspektai

Abstract

Straipsnyje analizuojami strateginio planavimo ypatumai viešajame sektoriuje, remiantis Lietuvos ir užsienio moksline literatūra bei Lietuvos situacijos įvertinimu. Straipsnio autoriai siekia teoriniame lygmenyje nustatyti, kokius strateginius modelius, veiksmus ar priemonių sistemas galima būtų taikyti viešajame sektoriuje, kad būtų pasiektas viešojo sektoriaus veiklos efektyvumas

The quest for higher performance by public sector organizations is a central and recurring theme in government policies and academic research. Research on the general topic of organizational performance in the public sector is limited in quantity and quality. Interest in the subject has come largely from practitioners rather than researchers. Public organizations are generally more bureaucratic, public managers have less discretion over organizational missions and personnel, and staff in public organizations are less likely to be motivated by financial incentives. Public organizations are more likely than private organizations to be monopolists, they are also more likely to find an escape strategy difficult to adopt and will therefore be prone to permanent failure. Therefore, determining the planning peculiarities of the public sector organisations is a relevant and practical problem. The aim of this article is to reveal strategic planning peculiarities of the public sector and to distinguish possible strategic planning models within public sector. In order to achieve this goal, analysis and interpretation of Lithuanian and foreign author‘s research was performed. Since the 1970s, scholars have been investigating the main issues concerning the lack of intentionality within the complex process of strategy formation. Research efforts addressing the planning- performance relationship have been numerous and provided varying conclusions. Conflicting evidence that the effect of strategic planning was minimal, non-significant or positive but moderated by significant environmental or contextual variables were also extensively prevalent in the literature.[...]
