CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INTO THE PUBLIC SECTOR ENTITIES - A EUROPEAN AND NATIONAL VIEW

The financial difficulties faced by the public sector from Romania point out the information disparity and the conflicts between the state (central and local administration and their subordinate structures), respectively stakeholders (tax payers, patients, suppliers, employees, public, etc). In this context, by the fundamental research performed, we integrate the corporate governance into the public sector, as a mechanism eliminating the neuralgic points related to the public resources management and the objective of the entities belonging to this sector. The research has a two-dimensional undertaking. The first dimension consists in reviewing the professional literature and the regulations in the field in terms of defining the concept of corporate governance, the opportunity of definition and the tone of this concept into the public sector. The second dimension is an empirical study in terms of the perception and dissemination manner of the information related to the corporate governance into the health public sector entities from the European Union member countries. Also, we consider that the results of the empirical study partly explain the absence of performance into the health public system from Romania, the significant diminution of the hospital number, the defective management of the resources assigned to the sanitary system and the public's mistrust in the health public system.
