摘要：Performance management systems are widely used in private and public entities.
Research is replete with empirical evidence, which corroborates that successful
organisations are those that use PMS effectively. Although the effective use of
PMS has attracted an enormous amount of attention, scant research on the
critical role a properly developed PMS plays in the make or break of a PMS in the
domain of local government is discernible. Such research is even scarcer in the
context of South Africa. The current study aims at determining the pivotal role the
development of a PMS plays in its effective implementation in the Sport and
Recreation Department in Gauteng.
A survey was used through which structured questionnaires were distributed. Of
the 150 questionnaires distributed, 136 were completed and returned, resulting in
a satisfactory response rate. The reliability of the research instrument was tested
using the Cronbach alpha coefficient. Exploratory factor analysis was invoked on
the questionnaire items in the use stage of the questionnaire, which resulted in the
extraction of five behavioural factors. Descriptive statistics were computed to
determine the means and standard deviations of these factors. Correlation
analysis was performed to establish the relationship between the development of a
PMS and the five factors extracted. Additionally, regression analysis was utilised
to establish the extent of the predictive association between the development of a
PMS and the five identified behavioural factors.
The findings highlighted the existence of a significant positive relationship
between the development of a PMS and behavioural factors. Furthermore, there
was a prevalence of a predictive association between the development of a PMS
and the behavioural factors.
