摘要：
Public sector organizations (PSOs) are expected to account for not only the monies spent but what has been achieved with this money. Therefore, performance reporting has become a key issue for PSOs. In a comparable sample of PSOs in the UK and Ireland with an operational focus, it was found that UK PSOs provide substantially more performance information. Irish PSOs are particularly hesitant about producing performance targets. A key lesson from this paper is that the establishment of performance targets must be driven by the political system.
