우리나라 정부성과관리와 관련된 주요 근거법 및 주관부처로는 2006년 행정기관의 업무효율성 및 책임성의 제고 차원에서 자체평가를 강조하는 「정부업무평가기본법」하에 기관평가를 주관하는 국무총리실, 「국가재정법」의 재정사업목표관리제도를 주관하는 기획재정부, 「국가재정법」과 「국가회계법」 등을 근거로 결산검사를 주관하는 감사원을 들 수 있다. 1993년 정부성과결과법(GPRA)를 근거로 성과관리를 전개해 온 미국에 비해 우리나라의 정부성과관리는 ① 부분적 성과관리의 전개 및 주관부처간 평가업무의 중복, ② 전략적 성과계획 수립 및 성과보고의 미흡, ③ 평가 위주의 성과관리 전개, ④ 결과지표를 비롯한 기관 전략목표의 달성 여부와 관련된 의미 있는 성과정보 활용의 취약 등 여러 제도적·기술적·조직문화적 문제점을 갖고 있다. 정부성과결과법 이후 약 20년에 걸쳐 점진적으로 성과관리의 고도화를 실시하면서 책무성 제고와 재정효율성 개선 등 효과를 거둔 미국의 장점 중 우리나라가 벤치마킹을 할 수 있는 부분을 도출하고 이를 구체적으로 적용하는 것은 나름대로 의미를 갖는다. 그 대표적인 것으로 ① 평가 대신에 성과관리로 접근하는 것, ② 성과정보의 활용에 기초한 학습을 강조하는 점진적이고 조직문화적인 접근을 들 수 있다. 현재 우리에게 필요한 법적·제도적 개선방안으로는 ① 기존 성과관리 주관 부처간의 역할 재조정, ② 새로운 성과관리 관련법의 입법을 통한 통합적 성과관리의 전개, ③ 국가 차원의 통합적 성과관리를 주관하는 조직의 신설을 통한 기존 기관의 역할 통합 등의 대안을 구상할 수 있다.
Abstract
Currently 3 major Korean governments who are in charge of controlling and evaluating the performance of Korean governments department agencies are (i) Office of Prime Minister under the Framework Act on Public Service Evaluation(FAPSE), (ii) Ministry of Strategy and Finance(National Fiscal Law), (iii) Board of Audit and Inspection of Lorea(BAI: National Fiscal Law and National Accountjng Law). Major weaknesses of current Korean government performance management are summarized as follows; (i) performance management is performaned in a fragmented way rather than in an integrated manner, (ii) focus too much on the evaluation score rather than using performance measurement as a feedback and learning tool, (iii) performance informations are not adequate and useful which results in ineffective use of those information for the improvement of government performances, (iv) strategic planning and performance reporting is far from being satisfactory. As for the USA, since 1993 GPRA enactment, they have evolved and showed the sign of positive Currently 3 major Korean governments who are in charge of controlling and evaluating the performance of Korean governments department agencies are (i) Office of Prime Minister under the Framework Act on Public Service Evaluation(FAPSE), (ii) Ministry of Strategy and Finance(National Fiscal Law), (iii) Board of Audit and Inspection of Lorea(BAI: National Fiscal Law and National Accountjng Law). Major weaknesses of current Korean government performance management are summarized as follows; (i) performance management is performaned in a fragmented way rather than in an integrated manner, (ii) focus too much on the evaluation score rather than using performance measurement as a feedback and learning tool, (iii) performance informations are not adequate and useful which results in ineffective use of those information for the improvement of government performances, (iv) strategic planning and performance reporting is far from being satisfactory. As for the USA, since 1993 GPRA enactment, they have evolved and showed the sign of positive results from diverse aspects. Especially, they emphasize performance management as a tool for the fiscal efficiency improvement mechanism rather than as a score management. Also they have pursued performance enhancement in long term perspective and emphasized employees learning and traning so that the organizational culture can be transformed following the philosophy of GPRA. With these advantages of USA’s experience under the GPRA, it's time to suggest the necessary directions for the change in Korean government’s performance management. Key alternatives can be 3 ways. (i) refiguration of existing 3 key performance management regulating organizations, (ii) enactment of new performance management laws like GPRA and GPRAMA which will replace existing FAPSE, (iii) establishment of new governmental agency who will be in charge of government-wide performance management(including evaluation and coordination among different departments and agencies). With current limitations which reduce the potential usefulness of performance management in general by Korean government in mind and based on the review of USA’s best practices since 1993 GPRA, this paper compared possible major alternative directions for the necessary changes including legislative measures and organizational restructuring.
