“…Specifically, this study speaks to the literature that discusses the flaws and pitfalls of PPPs, which include lower transparency regarding outcome responsibility (Blomqvist & Winblad, 2020; Girth, 2012; Johnston & Romzek, 1999; Romzek & Johnston, 2005), opportunism and self‐interest at the expense of public value (Brown et al, 2006; Lambright, 2009), and ethical issues (Adams & Balfour, 2010; Belle & Cantarelli, 2015) by suggesting that political actions can be determinant when closely focusing on accountability and outcomes of PPPs. Finally, since the government's actions were taken to supposedly contrast the economic crisis triggered by the COVID‐19 situation, the findings of this study are informative to the literature that focuses on crisis management in the public sector (e.g., Christensen et al, 2021; Mizrahi et al, 2021).…”

This study discusses the possible effects of the intervention of politicians—actors that operate above organizations—in the monitoring and execution of public–private partnerships (PPPs). Using the recent case of the Mottarone cable car crash, this research offers evidence that, pressured by private organizations, political actors had both weakened the public sector's ability to effectively monitor the private sector in the execution of PPPs and facilitated private firms in deviating from their contractual obligations. These findings suggest that the interference of the government in PPPs likely has increased the challenges of establishing accountability, and this is also source of ethical issues.

“…Timely and effective performance communication and feedback have the most significant impact on officials' perception of government performance evaluation Among performance planning, performance implementation, performance evaluation, and performance feedback-the four components of performance management-performance evaluation has been found to be the most important (Christensen et al, 2022;Ingraham et al, 2003;Kroll & Moynihan, 2018;Moynihan, 2008). Timely and effective performance communication can help government departments and their officials collaboratively work out performance goals and work plans that to some extent represent public demands and social expectations (Gelders et al, 2008;Meier et al, 2022).…”

Government performance evaluation has a long history. However, major differences of opinion regarding its role still exist both in Western and Chinese academia, from theoretical, and practical perspectives. In this article, we conduct an empirical measurement of the role played by government performance evaluation and construct a regression model to explore the major factors influencing public officials’ perception, relying on survey data from a district government of county level in Guangdong Province. The study reveals that the average value of 14 items measuring government performance evaluation was 3.36 points (out of a possible 5 points). The role of the government in setting annual objectives, tasks, and priorities, as well as strategic planning, and target setting, and strengthening departmental accountability, had the most significant effect on the perception of efficacy of performance evaluation, whereas departmental budget setting, resource allocation, and reduction of operating costs had the least effect. Furthermore, performance communication and feedback, as well as the validity of the performance indicator system, also significantly influence the perception of the role played by government performance evaluation. The article concludes with a discussion of the differences between government performance evaluation in the West and in China.
