| Abstract |
Inefficiencies and poor performance in public construction projects have resulted in significant waste of national financial resources. Given the
scale of public investment, there is an urgent need for innovative strategies to enhance the effectiveness of construction spending and
strengthen the management of government finances. Performance management in public construction projects is shaped by numerous
interrelated factors, requiring a comprehensive and integrated approach to achieve meaningful improvement. However, previous efforts have
been fragmented, often limited to isolated institutional reforms without long-term continuity or cohesive planning. This study identifies and
analyzes key challenges in the current performance management system for public construction projects in Korea. It conducts a comparative
analysis of practices in the United Kingdom and the United States, focusing on performance goal management and performance evaluation. In
examining performance goal management, the study compares goal-setting processes, implementation procedures, and project management
systems. For performance evaluation, it reviews evaluation methods, operational procedures, and feedback mechanisms. Finally, the study
proposes policy directions to strengthen the performance management system, aiming to improve accountability, efficiency, and long-term
sustainability. |
