Together with the emphasis on local governments innovation, the performance management was strengthened. With the existing systems such as Management by Objectives and Self-evaluation, now new systems such as Performance Agreement and Balanced Scorecard have been introduced and used. But it is widely recognized that it is more necessary to evaluate and manage the performance of local governments that carry out comprehensive activities than introducing various performance management systems that can well evaluate sectional features and factors from the viewpoint of the development of performance management.
With this viewpoint, this paper studies the necessity of performance management, performance management systems in the USA, Britain and Germany and the previous researches on performance management in Korea. It also studies the concept, characteristics, processes and merits and demerits of the four performance management systems such as Management by Objectives, Performance Agreement, Self-evaluation and BSC. Then it compared and analyzed the systems' legal background, introduced years, evaluation focus, number of evaluated activities, goal setting style, merit and demerit and local governments that introduced and applied the systems. It suggests the integration of the four systems centered on Self-evaluation. It studies the possibility of integrating Self-evaluation with Management by Objectives, Performance Agreement and BSC.
