Abstract: The introduction of performance-related pay (PRP) in the public sector has been one of the main trends in public management reform in the last two decades. However, it seems that PRP regimes have been loosened or even backed off the reform agenda, often with the notion that they were not used as planned, failed to deliver, and ultimately were stalled as being an incompatible control instrument to the existing administrative culture. Focusing on the local government level in Germany, France and Italy, the authors explore the question why PRP systems have failed to manifest a core position in the performance oriented reform agendas. Diffusion and implementation practice in the three countries shows significant differences and leads to relevant heterogeneity and variance of implementation of PRP.
