Abstract

Performance measurement is a prevalent and accepted management technique used by governments around the world and is an important dimension of New Zealand sport policy. Drawing from performance management and measurement literature (Bevan & Hood, 2006; Bouckaert & Halligan, 2008; De Bruijn, 2006; Hatry, 2006; van Dooren, Bouckhaert, & Halligan, 2010) and, in particular, Norman’s (2002) categorisation of perceptions of the New Zealand public sector, this thesis sought to: (a) investigate how New Zealand national sport organisations (NSOs) perceive and interpret Sport and Recreation New Zealand’s (SPARC) performance measures and funding policies, and (b) identify the unintended consequences that may be occurring within the performance system.
