Performance management is a vital element in the creation of a government’s management structure. At present, various top-down and self-administered examinations and evaluations within the system have intensified the implementation capacity of all departments. However, it has also become a major barrier to deferring government’s performance management. The reason is related to the layout of administrative power, pointing directly to “top-notch design’. From the perspective of both theoretical logic and real-life observation, our government’s positioning for its performance management is the objective of management downward, aiming at improving its credibility. In 2011, the pilot work of the government’s performance management in China directed by the Ministry of Supervision has formed local models with characteristics. With tremendous changes taking place as a result of the adjustment of the leadership system in 2014, how to implement the pilot work of the government’s performance management has become a big concern.
