Abstract

The growing complexity of socio-economic processes and the ongoing transformation of the public sector necessitate improvements in the quality and effectiveness of management decisions. However, the absence of well-established and methodologically consistent analytical tools for assessing such decisions complicates informed decision-making and limits the transparency and effectiveness of public policy implementation. Against this background, the development of a comprehensive framework for evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions is of significant theoretical and practical relevance. The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical foundation and develop analytical tools for assessing the effectiveness of management decisions in the public sector, thereby enhancing the quality and soundness of public administration processes. The research employs methods of analysis and synthesis, systemic and structural-functional approaches, comparative and content analysis, economic and statistical methods, as well as generalization and scientific abstraction. The study reveals the theoretical and methodological foundations for evaluating the effectiveness of public-sector management decisions and systematizes scientific approaches to defining effectiveness while accounting for sector-specific characteristics. International experience in applying analytical assessment tools is generalized. As a result, an integrated analytical model for evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions is developed, key influencing factors are identified, and their impact is assessed. The proposed tools may be applied to monitor and evaluate public programs and policies and to support evidence-based public governance.

Keywords: public sector, management decision, efficiency, analytical tools, integrated models, assessment tools

Resumen

The growing complexity of socio-economic processes and the ongoing transformation of the public sector necessitate improvements in the quality and effectiveness of management decisions. However, the absence of well-established and methodologically consistent analytical tools for assessing such decisions complicates informed decision-making and limits the transparency and effectiveness of public policy implementation. Against this background, the development of a comprehensive framework for evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions is of significant theoretical and practical relevance. The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical foundation and develop analytical tools for assessing the effectiveness of management decisions in the public sector, thereby enhancing the quality and soundness of public administration processes. The research employs methods of analysis and synthesis, systemic and structural-functional approaches, comparative and content analysis, economic and statistical methods, as well as generalization and scientific abstraction. The study reveals the theoretical and methodological foundations for evaluating the effectiveness of public-sector management decisions and systematizes scientific approaches to defining effectiveness while accounting for sector-specific characteristics. International experience in applying analytical assessment tools is generalized. As a result, an integrated analytical model for evaluating the effectiveness of management decisions is developed, key influencing factors are identified, and their impact is assessed. The proposed tools may be applied to monitor and evaluate public programs and policies and to support evidence-based public governance.
