Performance management systems have been widely implemented in local governments and deliver performance information (PI) to enhance organizational learning and control. However, such information is not often used. This study examines the relations between the organizational factors that affect performance information use. The study employs the theories of information systems to distinguish the quality and usefulness of performance information from other organizational drivers of the use of performance information. Based on survey data from Polish local governments, the study searches for potential mediators of PI use by testing the relations between the most influential organizational capabilities that drive PI use. The findings suggest that there is a link between the quality and usefulness of performance information, and that other organizational capabilities that drive PI use are independent from quality and usefulness of PI. The study contributes to knowledge of how performance information is used in public organizations in a CEE country.

“绩效信息使用的组织驱动力：波兰地方政府的视角”

绩效管理系统已在地方政府中广泛实施，并提供绩效信息（PI）以增强组织的学习和控制。但是，这种信息并不经常使用。这项研究检查了影响绩效信息使用的组织因素之间的关系。该研究采用信息系统的理论来区分绩效信息的质量和有用性与绩效信息使用的其他组织推动力。该研究基于波兰地方政府的调查数据，通过测试最有影响力的组织能力之间的关系来搜索PI的潜在调解者，以找出可能的PI调解者。研究结果表明，效果信息的质量和有用性之间存在联系，其他推动PI使用的组织能力与PI的质量和实用性无关。该研究有助于了解在中东欧国家的公共组织中如何使用绩效信息。
