BENCHMARKINGUL-METHOD OF PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Creating a healthy Public Administration, well structured and effective, constitutes a balance and stability factor, the essential elements in strengthening the state of law, in promoting the principles and guidelines to ensure the progress and prosperity in all economic and social sectors. Creating a modern and efficient system for the Public Administration, although it was considered a priority for the governments of Romania, however, numerous cases have braked the real reform application in the administration : the absence of appropriate reform strategy; the continuing financial constraints , the insufficient training and experience of the politicians and of the civil servants in order to meet then needs and demands of the reform; the utilization of the too old regulations on administrative structures, personnel, functions and pays calls, and , at last but not least, the government focus on the economic reform issues disregarding that they can not be solved without reforming the Public Administration. Benchmarking represents a comparative method of analysis which is used in order to evaluate products, services, processes, practices and performance of an organization.
