The Performance of public Organization: still unclear

Abstract

Nowadays, the present discussions about the organization’s performance have revealed the fact that the concept is unclear. The use of the concept is more difficult in public organizations. The paper presents the case of Romanian SOE Hidroelectrica and the case of public universities, to pinpoint the fact that ambiguous objectives are the cause of dilemmatic management. The general opinion is that the results of the public organization's management reflect a poor performance of the latter.
