Abstract

Contemporary civil service organizations face unprecedented challenges in balancing traditional public service values with demands for enhanced efficiency and accountability. This paper examines how performance management systems must adapt to contemporary civil service culture to achieve enhanced public sector output. Through analysis of recent literature and policy developments, this study identifies key misalignments between traditional performance management approaches and modern civil service motivations, proposing an adaptive framework that integrates public service motivation theory with contemporary organizational realities. The findings suggest that culturally-sensitive performance management systems that acknowledge unique public sector values, embrace digital transformation, and recognize generational shifts in workforce expectations are essential for sustainable performance improvement in modern government organizations.
