9. Service delivery satisfaction and willingness to pay taxes: citizen recognition of local government performance

Author

Glaser, Mark A. and Hildreth, W. Bartley

Subjects
Civil service -- Public opinion, Local government -- Evaluation, Performance appraisals -- Social aspects, Taxation -- Public opinion, Business, Government, Political science
Abstract

A tax-performance classification system is utilized to show any connection between citizens' perception of local government performance and their willingness to pay increased taxes. The study was prompted by questions on whether it is reasonable to expect gains in performance in response to anti-tax public sentiments. Citizens' perceptions on the matter may be used to support arguments for strengthening the link between performance and willingness to pay. A model that aims to unite citizen and professional values, including conscious decisions about the proper balance between dimensions of performance, is provided by the study.

Subjects

Abstract

The Centre for Economic Performance survey into performance-related pay for public sector workers found many head teachers opposed the system yet around 60% received pay awards linked to their performance. More than 70% of civil servants were found to support performance-related pay. Supporters of the system felt it gave added motivation whilst those against performance pay felt it could be abused and manipulated by senior management. Almost 50% of civil service managers felt performance pay was successful in increasing productivity of the workers and identifying expectations.
