New development: Determinants of financial performance in public organizations

Stijn Goeminne and Bert George

Public Money & Management, 2019, vol. 39, issue 1, 70-73

Abstract: In the slipstream of NPM, public organizations worldwide have had to increase their financial performance by adopting management practices. Nonetheless, financial performance (FP) might be mostly predicted by contingencies that are not within direct managerial control. Drawing on evidence from 308 Flemish municipalities, this article shows that organizational and environmental contingencies affect FP, but a significant amount of variation in FP is unexplained—indicating that management could well matter.
