Abstract :
The present positivist applied study sought to identify the factors and components affecting the performance management system at governmental organizations at two stages. Initially, the factors and components affecting organizational performance management were identified based on views of 21 administrative system and university experts that were analyzed through the Delphi technique in three rounds. The results of Delphi analysis revealed 29 factors which were further classified via exploratory factor analysis into five major groups of factors within a questionnaire that could explains 79.5% of the total variance. The construct and content validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was then verified via factor analysis and its reliability was estimated through Cronbach's alpha, indicating a coefficient of 0.846. In the second phase, the validated questionnaire was employed to collect the research data from a sample of 108 governmental organizations selected randomly based on Morgan and Krejci Table. The gleaned research data were subsequently analyzed through SPSS and Amos software and employing confirmatory factor analysis, fitness indexes, assumptions, analysis of variance and Bonferron's post hoc test. The results indicated that five general factors impacting effective performance management of governmental organizations included human resources, customer service, leadership, organizational transformation, and culture and values, respectively.
