Cette thèse analyse les critères de la performance publique, en étudiant le NPM qui a fait émerger la performance à travers la réforme budgétaire de l'Etat. Les conceptualisations de la performance publique ainsi que les modes d'opérationnalisations mobilisés dans la littérature sont largement controversés. Nous admettons que les contradictions structurantes liées à la performance publique, constatées de manière récurrente, sont majoritairement inhérentes au construit lui-même et à la façon dont il a été appréhendé. Cette thèse s'intéresse à la définition de la performance publique, ses critères, ses modes d'opérationnalisation dans le cadre de la réforme budgétaire de l'Etat, et privilégie l'expérience française LOLF comme un terrain d'étude. Elle vise de valider la nécessité de l'Etat de concentrer de manière équi-proportionnelle ses actions sur l'efficacité, l'efficience et l'effectivité pour atteindre l'équilibre budgétaire. / This thesis analyzes the criteria of the public performance, by studying the NPM, which has given rise to performance through budgetary reform of the state. Conceptualizations of public performance and the methods to operationalize mobilized in the literature are largely controversial. We recognize that the structural contradictions related to public performance, found repeatedly, are largely inherent in the building itself and how he was apprehended. This is due largely to a lack of a significant theoretical foundation that can provide an appropriate framework of analysis to identify the notion of performance as part of the state budget.This thesis is interested in defining the criteria for public performance in the budgetary reform of the state and its operational modes and privilege the French experience “LOLF” as a field study. It aims to validate the need for the state to concentrate so equi-proportionate shares of the effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness to achieve a balanced budget.

Cities are increasingly becoming vessels of consumption, while various opportunities for production of space and public expression are taken away from the city's inhabitants. New architectural interventions often disregard a site's previously developed character and further aid in wiping away memories closely related to a city's cultural past. Banja Luka, the second largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has been an important cultural center, even through years of unrest. Within the city's main plaza stands an unfinished concrete structure (Fig. 3), built with pre-war conceptions of a hotel. The structure's location within the city of Banja Luka has provided for a close connection with the city's inhabitants and has allowed them to relate to it directly on a daily basis. The city's youth has left traces of artistic expression on this structure; its interface with the countercultures of graffiti artists and skateboarders has created a unique testament of time which desires continued narration. With the post-war privatization of most properties within the city, and the increasing desire to live within the city center, construction cranes are appearing throughout the city's core, providing new residential towers and a high increase in places for consumption. The opportunities for production of space, for places where memories are preserved and created, are decreasing and threaten to affect the thesis site. Completion of the project as initially envisioned would disregard the existing interactive relationship established between the city's inhabitants and the structure. The beauty of artistic expression cultivated upon the structure longs to be preserved and augmented in order to enable the structure's autonomy. Recognition of the value of the existing built elements and the site's overall character is essential and requires purposeful evaluation in the unification process of the new and existing elements. The redefined space will become a monument to the activities which have echoed at the site through some of the toughest times the city's youth had to endure. "...the notion of monument I have sought to put forward here is bound up with the lingering resonance of poetry after it has been heard, with the recollection of architecture after it has been seen." (Solà-Morales Rubió, Ignasi and Sarah Whiting. Differences: Topographies of Contemporary Architecture (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1997), 71.) The old and new will become individual halves of one self, united as they continue to play.

Public performance auditing is a type of auditing government departments’ use to review three specific aspects (efficiency, effectiveness and economy) of a sector, department or project. Upon completion of a public performance audit, the relevant supreme audit institution releases a performance audit report. The purpose of this study is to determine the level content compliance in these public performance audit reports with the international performance audit standards ISSAI 3000-3001. This study compares the level of content compliance in South Africa, a developing countries against Australia, a developed country. A type of text analysis was used to collate the levels of content compliance in a total of fifty reports, twenty-five reports published by the Auditor General of South Africa (AGSA) and twenty-five reports published by the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO), during the period 2006 – 2013. The finding revealed that public performance audit reports published in Australia have a greater level of content compliance than reports published in South Africa. The results of the report further detail the content shortcomings in the reports reviewed. This study will assist both the AGSA and ANAO in highlighting content concerns in these performance audit report, which is the first step towards improvement.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar as causas atribuídas por bacharelandos em música em situações consideradas de sucesso e fracasso em performance musical pública. A atribuição de causalidade busca compreender as causas que levam os indivíduos a obter resultados de sucesso ou de fracasso. Localizada dentro do contexto Social Cognitivo da Motivação, tem como principal objetivo conhecer as crenças das pessoas, que seriam as suas concepções de sucesso e fracasso, assim como o quanto elas estão envolvidas com o seu processo de aprendizagem. Weiner se destaca como o principal autor que desenvolveu e expandiu a teoria, dividindo-a em duas perspectivas: Intrapessoal e Interpessoal. A primeira perspectiva trata de causas relacionadas ao próprio pensamento do indivíduo, assim como seus sentimentos autodirecionados. Já a segunda é relacionada aos sentimentos e pensamentos dirigidos por outras pessoas. As atribuições de causalidade integram os sentimentos, os pensamentos e as ações do indivíduo. Para isso, observam uma sequência causal em que, a partir de um resultado, o indivíduo busca uma causa e gera um sentimento positivo ou negativo em relação a ela, que interfere na maneira como a pessoa age frente a uma nova situação. A metodologia utilizada foi um survey e os dados foram coletados através de um questionário envolvendo 130 alunos de bacharelado em música do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados foram submetidos a testes estatísticos, analisados e categorizados de acordo com a perspectiva atribucional de Weiner. Os resultados mostram que, em situações consideradas de sucesso, a causa mais atribuída é esforço (77,7%), seguido de persistência (65,4%) e interesse na apresentação (63,1%), enquanto que, em situações consideradas de fracasso, a causa mais atribuída foi aspectos emocionais (60,8%), seguida de dificuldade da tarefa(36,2%) e falta de esforço (30,8%). A partir da análise, observou-se que a prática instrumental sofre variações de acordo com a sua natureza e com contexto da tarefa, com o nível de especialização do instrumentista, com as experiências prévias de performance, diferenças pessoais e também com a motivação do estudante. / This research aimed to investigate the causes attributed by undergraduate music students in situations considered of failure and success in public musical performance. The Attributional Theory seeks to understand the causes that lead individuals to have results of success or failure. Located within the context of Social Cognitive Motivation, its main objective is to know people's beliefs, which would be their conceptions of success and failure, as well as how they are involved with their learning process. Weiner stands out as the main author who has developed and expanded the theory, having divided it into two perspectives: intrapersonal and interpersonal. The first perspective concerns causes related to the individual's own feelings and self-directed thoughts. The second is related to feelings and thoughts addressed by others. The Attributional Theory incorporates feelings, thoughts and actions of the individual. To achieve so, one observes a causal sequence in which, starting from a result, the individual seeks a cause and creates a positive or negative feeling about it, which interferes in the way a person acts before a new situation. The Methodology used was the Survey and the data were collected through questionnaire Involving 130 undergraduate music students of southern Brazil. The date were subjected to statistical tests and analyzed and categorized from the perspective of attribution theory of Weiner. The results show that in situations considered as successful the most attributed causes are effort (77.7%), persistence (65.4%), and interest in the presentation (63.1%), whereas in situations considered as failures the most important factors are emotional aspects (60.8%), difficulty of the task (36.2%), and lack of effort (30.8%). From the analysis, one can observe that the instrumental practice undergoes changes according to its nature and the context of the task, the expertise of the player, experience prior to the performance, personal differences, and also student’s motivation.

La gestion patrimoniale est devenue un sujet de préoccupation de plus en plus sensible pour les organisations publiques locales, en réponse à un contexte contraint. Nécessaire, mais peu étudiée, l’optimisation de la gestion patrimoniale locale est ainsi un sujet d’étude privilégié. Dans ce sens, cette recherche doctorale vise à mieux connaître la gestion patrimoniale publique locale, à en caractériser les outils et les modes d’organisation, et à déterminer des leviers d’optimisation, au regard de l’analyse des pratiques locales actuelles.A cette fin, dans une première partie, théorique et conceptuelle, cette recherche doctorale propose un cadre d’analyse de la gestion du patrimoine en tant que levier de performance des collectivités locales. Ainsi, elle s’appuie sur les théories du contrôle, en distinguant les logiques de surveillance et de pilotage, en les adaptant à la gestion du patrimoine. Nous dégageons ensuite une définition de la performance patrimoniale dans une logique multidimensionnelle. Au final, un modèle de recherche est proposé, consacré à l’étude des outils et modes d’organisation de la gestion du patrimoine public à l’échelle locale.La seconde partie de cette recherche doctorale permet, elle, de confronter notre modèle de recherche à notre terrain, à savoir les collectivités locales françaises. Pour ce faire, deux méthodologies complémentaires sont mobilisées, quantitative puis qualitative. Les résultats de ces études nous permettent d’enrichir la littérature sur ce point, mais aussi de valider notre grille exploratoire. Nous caractérisons aussi les outils de gestion du patrimoine local, comme sous dimensionnés, plutôt court-termistes, destinés à des acteurs opérationnels, et enfin plutôt tournés vers une finalité́ d’administration de biens. D’autre part, l’organisation de la fonction patrimoine au sein des collectivités locales semble assez hétérogène, laissant apparaître plusieurs faiblesses en matière de structuration, de circulation des informations, ou encore de coordination entre les acteurs. Au final, ces résultats ouvrent d’importantes perspectives managériales, en matière de gestion patrimoniale, en réponse à un contexte actuel contraint. / For local authorities, real estate management has become a growing concern due to a changing environment. Consequently, for the past few years, local public organizations have tried to bring about some change in the way they manage real estate. In that sense, this study aims at proposing a framework for the analysis of the innovation of the local public real estate management by relying on conceptual elements. Then, through a quantitative and qualitative methodology, we analyse the relevance of the theoretical and conceptual models to describe the real estate management innovations implemented by local authorities. In the end, we observe the necessity of the evolution of local practices that are considered too elementary.

The purpose of this dissertation was to determine the preferences of clients of programs administered by selected federal agencies and the preferences of the federal managers who administer the programs in assessing performance measurement systems. Using the general progression of previous budgetary models used in the public sector, the researcher developed the Modified Balance Scorecard (MBSC), a performance measurement model designed specifically for use within the public sector. Surveys based on the MBSC were administered to public managers and to clients of those managers in order to determine their preferences. The results showed that managers preferred public good measures and clients preferred financial measures. Both groups' second preferred index of measures was internal management process measures. This research is important in policy formulation and provides many implications regarding the effective presentation of policies. These results can be used to help craft policies for maximum effectiveness, based on the preferences of the respective groups.

The aim of this thesis was to explore options for hospital profiling in the Slovak republic. Sacrificing breadth of the study in favor of depth, the scope of the analysis was narrowed down to one quality indicator only - mortality. In the first step a mortality prediction model was constructed in order to predict expected probability of death on the basis of a set of risk factors in order to filter away variation in hospital outcomes that is caused by other factors than quality of care. Validation of the model was performed on a validation sample of 25% of data. Discriminative ability of the final model is very high - c-statistics over 0.9. Furthermore, we verified that hospitals differ in the risk structure of their patient populations significantly - mean predicted probability of dying for hospitals differed from 0.02% to 33%. In the second step hospital profiling was performed. Standardized mortality ratios were calculated for each hospital as a difference between observed and expected number of deaths. After introduction of risk-adjustment and calculation of confidence intervals 43% of hospitals were re-classified. 30-day mortality was selected as the best indicator for hospital profiling.
