“…Productivity is determined by looking at the obtained production (effectiveness) versus the invested effort for reaching the result (efficiency) i.e., if we can reach more with less effort, the level of productivity increases. Therefore, productivity can be defined as the sum of efficiency and effectiveness (Hatry, 1978;Pritchard, 1995). Based on the indicators of each concept, the productivity scores of company's staff are calculated.…”

“…Autoři Balk, Boucaert a Bronner (1989) ve svých studiích pracují s myšlenkou, že modely užívané v soukromém sektoru je možné považovat za obecně platné a lze je tedy aplikovat beze změn i do sektoru veřejného. Naopak Hatry (1978) ve své práci zastává názor, že metody používané pro měření efektivity v soukromém sektoru nedokáží plně postihnout stupeň reálně dosaženého veřejného prospěchu, který má veřejný sektor přinášet. Na výstupy veřejného sektoru stejně jako i na jeho celkovou funkci tedy podle něho není možné nahlížet shodným způsobem.…”

“…Attempts to define and measure it to everyone's complete satisfaction are analogous to the challenge of herding cats. Nevertheless, our literature offers an array of reflections about its meaning and is replete with pleas for more attention to the quality-of-service dimension in public services (Hatry et al 1977;Adam, Herschauer, and Ruch 1981;Hatry 1978;Epstein 1992;Poister and Harris 2000). A number of scholars have offered specific descriptions of and indicators for the quality of various public services Halachmi 1999;Hyde 1995;Ammons 1995;Poister and Henry 1994;Ammons 2001).…”

“…Managers of municipal recycling programs, for example, must balance citizens' demands for more efficient services with statemandated performance goals or targets-all while complying with a federal regulatory regime that governs much of the business of solid waste management. Benchmarking is one strategy that scholars have identified as having the potential to help local officials advance the performance of local services (Cohen and Eimicke 1998;Keehley et al 1997;Hatry 1999;Ammons 2001;Coe 1999). Benchmarking is the systematic identification of the best practices employed by other jurisdictions which lead to superior performance.…”
