- Description
- In 2011 the South African Presidency developed Management Performance Assessment and Municipal Assessment as tools to monitor and evaluate the performance of government employees in government departments and municipalities. The Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) is leading performance assessments of national departments using the tool, Offices of the Premier are undertaking performance assessments of provincial departments, Offices of the Premier and provincial Department of Cooperative Governance (DCOG) will assess municipalities. Management performance assessments contribute to improving service delivery through providing a holistic picture of the quality of management practices within a department or municipality, against common standards. This study evaluated the performance assessment system used in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality for senior administrative managers. The main objectives of the study were to investigate the Performance Assessment System used in NMBM for the Section 57 employees (i.e. all Senior Managers working on a five-year contract and directly reporting to the Municipal Manager) of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, to determine the extent, if any, the NMBM adheres to its policy objectives pertaining to the application and implementation of its performance management system and to provide recommendations on the possible recourse that can be taken by the NMBM in improving the application of its performance assessment system and performance management system at senior management level. The research methods employed for this study were both qualitative and quantitative. For the qualitative method, data was gathered through interviews, questionnaire and documents from the municipality, for the quantitative method a questionnaire was used and appropriate statistical techniques were used to analyse the gathered data. Emanating from the data analysed, the study found that there is still a lack of understanding of performance assessment in the municipality; the municipality is still faced with a number of challenges when implementing the performance assessment system as well as the performance management system in the municipality and these have affected service delivery in a very negative way. One of the recommendations made by the researcher was that there should be more training and workshops on performance assessment system as well as performance management in the municipality.
