The document discusses a study that examines the impact of transitioning between two performance measurement systems (PMS) used by Israeli police forces over an 8-year period. The study analyzed metrics from the original "MENAHEL" system and the new "MIFNE" system that replaced it in 2010. The results show that 75% of metrics were significantly impacted by the transition. While most metrics declined temporarily during the transition in 2011, some improved after the new system launched in 2012. The study also found that improved performance was positively associated with increased human resource allocation to police stations. Additionally, the impact of the new PMS varied based on the socio-economic characteristics of the region, crime category, and individual police station.
The Impact of Corruption on Firm Performance: Evidence from PakistanMuhammad Arslan
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of bribery on firm performance and provides quantitative
estimates of the impact of corruption on the performance of the firm. Impact of bribery is checked through the
questionnaire which is distributed among 100 respondents. In theoretical framework, firm performance is
dependent variable and bribery is independent variable. The correlation between firm performance and bribery
which is measure in obtaining more government contracts in questioner and bribery which is measure as cost of
obtaining the contracts is (r = -0.8012) having negative association between them. The size value of correlation
is (r = -0.0074 & -0.0056) showing that the size is not important in bribery and have subsequently have no affect
on firm performance. The value of R-Square in table 2 is close to 0.649 which indicate very well fit to data. It
means that almost 65 % change is due to the response variable (bribery). F-test value is very significant in both
table showing that the model is best fitted with the data. Sample size is one of the study limitation which could
be removed in future research by enlarging sample size.
This document discusses problem-oriented policing and the SARA model. SARA is an acronym that stands for scanning, analysis, response, and assessment, which are the four steps used to identify, analyze, and select problems. The document examines a problem-oriented policing guide about liquor store robberies. It describes factors that can contribute to liquor store robberies, such as cash transactions and lone employees. The guide offers suggestions for responses like improving lighting and visibility to address the problem.

CHAPTER 6 Functions of Police Management
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Cite the six basic functions of police management.
• Identify the three management functions that are primarily performed by top-level managers.
• Explain the importance of system learning for organizational effectiveness.
• Identify the five steps in the planning process.
• Identify four types of police plans.
• Identify six separate staffing functions.
• Explain the importance of “prevailing mythology” for recruitment.
• Identify four major activities within the training function.
• Distinguish assessment centers from other techniques used in the promotion process.
• Identify four activities that comprise the directing function.
What do people who are called managers do? What are their primary respon-
sibilities? A review of the literature on management functions shows that author-
ities have different answers to these questions. Acronyms such as PODSCORB
(Planning, Organizing, Directing, Staffing, Coordinating, Reporting, Budgeting)1 and
POSTBECPIRD (Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Training, Budgeting, Equipment,
Coordination, Public Information, Reporting, Directing)2 were proposed years ago by
management theorists in order to define management functions. Sayles identified three
basic managerial functions: participation in external work flows through lateral inter-
action; leading; and monitoring.3 Eastman and Eastman saw the functions of manage-
ment as planning, organizing, assembling resources, directing, and controlling.4 Koontz
and O’Donnell agreed, but substituted the word “staffing” for the term “assembling
resources.”5

6 Functions of Police Management 143
In this chapter we will discuss six basic police management functions:
1. system building;
2. planning;
3. organizing;
4. staffing;
5. directing;
6. controlling.
Performing these management functions skillfully and knowledgeably is critically
important. Aside from the obvious benefits accruing to departmental professionalism
and stability, the legal concept of vicarious liability has placed significantly greater
demands on police managers.6 In instances in which police chiefs or other police man-
agers improperly perform certain management functions, or negligently fail to perform
those functions, they can be sued for improperly discharging the duties of their offices.7
The growth of the concept of vicarious liability serves as a reminder of the importance of
proper performance of police management functions and adds a measure of accountabil-
ity not previously experienced by most police managers.
Management Functions by Level in the Organization
To some extent, every manager in the police organization performs the six man-
agement functions of system building, planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and
controlling. However, the relative importance of the functions varies, depending on the
manager’s level in the police organization.

This document summarizes a study that analyzes the employment effects of minimum wage increases using panel data from nine cities in Hubei Province, China from 1995 to 2012. It describes the selection of variables like employment, minimum wage, lagged minimum wage, and GDP as a control. It also discusses the use of fixed effects and random effects models for panel data analysis and describes limitations of prior time series and natural experiment studies on minimum wages. The key findings were that minimum wage increases did not have significant negative effects on current employment but may have effects in the future, suggesting China's labor market follows monopolistic theories more than competitive theories.
Community policing aims to increase public participation in crime prevention by focusing on problem-solving partnerships between police and the community, rather than just law enforcement and order maintenance. Studies have found mixed effects on crime reduction but benefits for public satisfaction and trust in police. This paper reviews different community policing strategies and their effectiveness. It finds that community policing generally improves citizen satisfaction and reduces perceptions of disorder, but does not significantly impact reported crime or fear of crime. Specific problem-solving approaches partnering with the public may be key to evaluating community policing's effectiveness.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
XIAOHU WANG
GERASIMOS A. GIANAKIS
University of Central Florida
GJovernments have employed measures of agency since the 1940s (Mikesell, 1995).
Recently, there has been a renewed emphasis on institutionalizing this tool (Gore,
1993; Governmental Accounting Standards Board, 1990; Osborne & Plastrik, 1997).
Unlike any of the previous performance measurement reforms, however, this new
effort is mainly a response to external pressures from elected officials, citizens, and
service clients for management results and accountability rather than an internal man-
agement tactic for the efficient or effective use of resources (Cope, 1997; Gore, 1993;
U.S. General Accounting Office, 1997). Consequently, the focus of performance
measurement is shifted from traditional output and outcome indicators to service quality
and citizen/customer satisfaction measures. An increasing number of governments have
been using citizen surveys to assess service quality (Poister & Henry, 1994; Poister &
Streib, 1998; Streib, 1990).
Despite this shift of focus in performance measurement, critical questions in using
citizen evaluations have not been addressed in the public management literature. The
literature focuses almost exclusively on anecdotal discussions regarding the utilities of
citizen/customer evaluations (Gore, 1993; Osborne & Plastrik, 1997), technical
designs of citizen evaluation measures (Hatry et al., 1992; Miller & Miller, 1991), and
the influence of service delivery activities on citizen evaluations (Brudney & England,

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

Based on system dynamics theory, this study used Vensim software to develop the Stock-Flow Diagram.
This study used the Dynamic Situations of system dynamics to perform dynamic simulation on the effect of
sports promotion strategy on Taiwan’s national health care and its relevant medical expenditure and future
expenditure. Moreover, this study used the simulation results as reference for strategy promotion, which
can make it easier to promote strategies, reduce the pressure of increase in national health insurance and
increase the success rate of policy implementation. The research results showed that, situational simulation
of system dynamics can simulate the effect of development trend of effectiveness of Taiwan’s national
health care on the changes in complicated policy promotion system with time. The results of the simulation
of policy situation showed that, it is necessary to adopt medium policy promotion and implementation rate
of 55% and national physical fitness increase rate of 5% as the best strategy implementation rate in the
future two years to obtain the greatest benefit.

The document discusses human resource management (HRM) reforms in the Tanzanian public sector and their effect on public sector governance. It provides background on the poor functioning of public institutions in developing countries and efforts to improve governance through public sector management reforms. The introduction outlines HRM reforms in Tanzania aimed at building competence and improving governance, but notes traditional systems still exist and HRM has been centralized. The study aims to examine the influence of key HRM reform variables—performance measurement, decentralization, and open recruitment systems—on governance and assess the moderating effect of contingent factors. It develops hypotheses and a conceptual framework to guide the research.

Financial Market Assumptions & Models for Pension PlansAnkur Dadhania
This document provides a technical comment on the financial market assumptions used in the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's Pension Insurance Modeling System (PIMS). It discusses some of the key capital market assumptions in the model, including the assumptions around expected returns for different asset classes and the assumed asset allocations of insured pension plans. The document suggests that the model could be improved by incorporating time variation in both financial market return behavior and observed plan asset allocations, based on evolving industry trends. It notes that understanding the implications of changes to the assumptions would require directly modifying the assumptions in the PIMS model.
This document discusses the four main types of analytics: descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive. Descriptive analytics answers the question "What happened?" by summarizing past data. Diagnostic analytics answers "Why did this happen?" by analyzing data to determine causes of trends. Predictive analytics answers "What might happen in the future?" by using statistics and modeling to predict outcomes. Prescriptive analytics answers "What should we do next?" by recommending actions based on predictive analytics. The document provides examples of each type.

Effects of Occupational Stress on Work Performance of Police Officers in Naku...iosrjce
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal that provides rapid publication (within a month) of articles in all areas of computer engineering and its applications. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in computer technology. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and high quality technical notes are invited for publications.
This document summarizes a study on the effects of occupational stress on the work performance of police officers in Nakuru police division, Kenya. The study found that police officers experience high levels of occupational stress due to factors like role overload and ambiguity. It also found that their work performance was rated as only fair. The study established that high occupational stress negatively impacts the work performance of police officers. Additionally, it was found that police officers lack adequate welfare support despite the stressful nature of their work. The study recommends that the National Police Service Commission implement policies and mechanisms to reduce work-related stress and improve police officers' work performance.
Police departments are increasingly using information technology tools like COMPSTAT to optimize performance and reduce crime. COMPSTAT implements the basic IS functions of inputting crime data, processing that data to identify crime patterns and hotspots, outputting actionable intelligence, and using feedback to respond faster to crime. This allows predictive policing by anticipating where and when crimes may occur. A SWOT analysis found strengths in improved partnerships and community support but also weaknesses in increased workload and training needs as well as threats from competing priorities and public expectations.
Policy Making Processes: Policy Implementation and Policy EvaluationMhd Faheem Aliuden
Successful policy implementation requires three key elements: 1) policies must be passed down from elected officials to the appropriate government agencies, which may require establishing new agencies; 2) the legislative intent of policies must be clearly interpreted into operating rules and guidelines to avoid ambiguity; 3) resources must be dedicated to implement policies while coordinating with ongoing agency operations to prevent competition. However, policy implementation is often complicated by a lack of direction from legislators and issues like bureaucratic incompetence. As a result, new policies may fail or take significant time to fully enact.

Improving Technological Services and Its Effect on the Police’s PerformanceEditor IJCATR
The role of police department in any country is critical. It is obvious that improving the technology in police department can
be done with safety and contributes to improve its economy. This paper, first tries to recognize the existed weaknesses in used
technologies. Then, it will suggest the best approach. The proposed framework of this study points out to two different moderating
roles that can be considered as technical contributions. Moreover, the combination of this proposed framework is new for current
study. This framework is concentrated on technology improvement, knowledge management system, technology acceptance, police

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.
A study on the dynamic effect of sports promotion strategy and effectiveness ...ijcsit
Based on system dynamics theory, this study used Vensim software to develop the Stock-Flow Diagram.
This study used the Dynamic Situations of system dynamics to perform dynamic simulation on the effect of
sports promotion strategy on Taiwan’s national health care and its relevant medical expenditure and future
expenditure. Moreover, this study used the simulation results as reference for strategy promotion, which
can make it easier to promote strategies, reduce the pressure of increase in national health insurance and
increase the success rate of policy implementation. The research results showed that, situational simulation
of system dynamics can simulate the effect of development trend of effectiveness of Taiwan’s national
health care on the changes in complicated policy promotion system with time. The results of the simulation
of policy situation showed that, it is necessary to adopt medium policy promotion and implementation rate
of 55% and national physical fitness increase rate of 5% as the best strategy implementation rate in the
future two years to obtain the greatest benefit.

The eGovernment policy focus has moved over the last five years from being mainly concerned with efficiency to being concerned both with efficiency and effectiveness. This paper examines the current and future development of eGovernment policy making, and the critical role that measurement and impact analysis has in it.
The document discusses human resource management (HRM) reforms in the Tanzanian public sector and their effect on public sector governance. It provides background on the poor functioning of public institutions in developing countries and efforts to improve governance through public sector management reforms. The introduction outlines HRM reforms in Tanzania aimed at building competence and improving governance, but notes traditional systems still exist and HRM has been centralized. The study aims to examine the influence of key HRM reform variables—performance measurement, decentralization, and open recruitment systems—on governance and assess the moderating effect of contingent factors. It develops hypotheses and a conceptual framework to guide the research.

Financial Market Assumptions & Models for Pension PlansAnkur Dadhania
This document provides a technical comment on the financial market assumptions used in the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's Pension Insurance Modeling System (PIMS). It discusses some of the key capital market assumptions in the model, including the assumptions around expected returns for different asset classes and the assumed asset allocations of insured pension plans. The document suggests that the model could be improved by incorporating time variation in both financial market return behavior and observed plan asset allocations, based on evolving industry trends. It notes that understanding the implications of changes to the assumptions would require directly modifying the assumptions in the PIMS model.
This document discusses the four main types of analytics: descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive. Descriptive analytics answers the question "What happened?" by summarizing past data. Diagnostic analytics answers "Why did this happen?" by analyzing data to determine causes of trends. Predictive analytics answers "What might happen in the future?" by using statistics and modeling to predict outcomes. Prescriptive analytics answers "What should we do next?" by recommending actions based on predictive analytics. The document provides examples of each type.

Effects of Occupational Stress on Work Performance of Police Officers in Naku...iosrjce
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal that provides rapid publication (within a month) of articles in all areas of computer engineering and its applications. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in computer technology. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and high quality technical notes are invited for publications.
This document summarizes a study on the effects of occupational stress on the work performance of police officers in Nakuru police division, Kenya. The study found that police officers experience high levels of occupational stress due to factors like role overload and ambiguity. It also found that their work performance was rated as only fair. The study established that high occupational stress negatively impacts the work performance of police officers. Additionally, it was found that police officers lack adequate welfare support despite the stressful nature of their work. The study recommends that the National Police Service Commission implement policies and mechanisms to reduce work-related stress and improve police officers' work performance.
Police departments are increasingly using information technology tools like COMPSTAT to optimize performance and reduce crime. COMPSTAT implements the basic IS functions of inputting crime data, processing that data to identify crime patterns and hotspots, outputting actionable intelligence, and using feedback to respond faster to crime. This allows predictive policing by anticipating where and when crimes may occur. A SWOT analysis found strengths in improved partnerships and community support but also weaknesses in increased workload and training needs as well as threats from competing priorities and public expectations.
Policy Making Processes: Policy Implementation and Policy EvaluationMhd Faheem Aliuden
Successful policy implementation requires three key elements: 1) policies must be passed down from elected officials to the appropriate government agencies, which may require establishing new agencies; 2) the legislative intent of policies must be clearly interpreted into operating rules and guidelines to avoid ambiguity; 3) resources must be dedicated to implement policies while coordinating with ongoing agency operations to prevent competition. However, policy implementation is often complicated by a lack of direction from legislators and issues like bureaucratic incompetence. As a result, new policies may fail or take significant time to fully enact.

1. Abstract - Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) have
long captured the attention of organizational behavior and
information systems (IS) research. The PMS in the study was
implemented by public police forces, using advanced Business
Intelligence (BI) technologies. The study examines the impact
of enhancing that PMS, through analysis of the metric results
over an 8-year time period that covered a transition between
two major system versions. The analysis results indeed show a
significant impact of transitioning to the new PMS in most
(75%) performance metrics. A noticeable impact of the transi-
tion is the temporary performance decline, followed by some
improvement that can be attributed in part to the redefinition
of some metrics. Further, the results confirmed the preliminary
assumptions that the improvement in the measured perfor-
mance is positively and significantly associated with human-
resource allocation; however, with some mediation effects of
the crime category and the organization unit.
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Today, PMS are broadly adopted across all industries and
business domains, and their implementation is often sup-
ported by Business Intelligence (BI) technologies [1], [2].
PMS implementation is driven by the notion that consistent
and well-organized measurement, reflecting past behavior
and current state of organizational units, can serve as an im-
portant tool for supporting decision-support and driving con-
tinuous performance improvement [3]. PMS may back these
goals by providing solutions for gathering, analyzing, and
distributing relevant information [4]. Much of the PMS re-
search so far is non-empirical, and not supported by rigorous
evidence [5]. Further, PMS studies mostly focus on for-
profit businesses [6], but less on organizations that are not
necessarily driven by profit goals, such as governmental
agencies or community-based groups [7].
This study explores the impact of a PMS in a real-world
setting, within a governmental agency – the Israeli Police
Forces. The research scope is examining the transition be-
tween two PMS: the “MENAHEL” that was used between
This work was not supported by any organization
2006 and 2010, and the “MIFNE” that replaced it in 2010.
Both PMS were implemented with advanced Business Intel-
ligence (BI) technologies and embedded a number of per-
formance metrics that reflect the police strategy and activi-
ties. Beyond enhancement of BI technologies, a key differ-
ence between the systems was the re-design of the metrics
structure. While the "MENAHEL" offered a large number of
metrics (over 150), some with low relative weight, the
"MIFNE" offered a reduced and more focused set that was
developed based on the knowledge and insight that were
gained during the operation of the "MENAHEL". The focus
of “MIFNE” is not the quantity of measures, as the quality
and essence. The newer system exposes police officers not
only to performance measures in their own stations, but in
other stations as well for the sake of comparison. Further, the
newer performance measurement system serves not only
police stations, but rather all organizational police units. One
new main module that is part of “MIFNE” is “internal ser-
vices”- as part of the comprehension of the importance of
police officer’s and his family’s social satisfaction. Moreo-
ver, “MIFNE” is targeting every organizational unit specifi-
cally, compared to “MENAHEL” that defined a uniform
target for all units. The new PMS enables to drilldown and
investigation from high-level information to more detailed.
It enables identification of exceptional trends or events that
required an attention. According to research and statistics
unit of the police, "MIFNE" brought a significant change in
perception as part of a 3-years change program named
“MIFNE” that has been started in 2011. Main guideline of
this program is that public trust of the police, has an im-
portant and critical rule. In order to focus all organizational
units on achieving “MIFNE” strategy, “MIFNE” program is
based on a unique PMS named “MIFNE”.
A question that motivates this study is whether or not the
transition to a new PMS promoted the desired improvement
in police-units performance. Was the influence positive, or
rather negative in some cases? Is the influence moderated
by certain characteristics of the organizational unit? This
study suggests that these questions may have important im-
plications for performance measurement in the Israeli police
as for the adoption of PMS in other organizations.

Organizational Impacts of Enhancing a BI-Supported Performance
Measurement System on the Israeli Police
2. II.MODEL DEVELOPMENT
The transition between the two PMS systems raised ques-
tions that this study aims to explore: did the transition indeed
gained the desired effect on performance measurement?
What factors may possibly affect the actual contribution of
replacing a PMS? One could expect that the actual contribu-
tion will be affected by factors such as the size of police
station, socio-economic characteristics of its region, or the
activity or crime category that the performance metrics re-
flect. These questions are reflected in the model that under-
lies this study (Figure 1), which is presented next.
The model observes the following constructs:
Performance (P): The dependent variable observed is the
organizational performance as reflected in the values of the
PMS metrics. Positive and/or negative trends in metric val-
ues reflect the influence transitioning to a new PMS and
possibly other factors.
PMS Replacement (R): Transition to a new PMS is ex-
pected to have a significant impact on performance. Accord-
ingly, the first set of hypotheses reflects possible manifesta-
tions of that impact:
H1a: PMS Replacement will significantly affect
performance.
H1b: PMS Replacement significantly improves
performance over time.
H1c: PMS Replacement may result in a temporary
performance decline during the transition period
Resources Allocation (A): An alternative, or possibly com-
plementary, explanation to the effect of PMS replacement on
performance is the allocation of resources. Performance
could have been enhanced not only by PMS replacement,
but also by extending human-resource allocation, where the
effect is expected to be positive:
H2: Increasing human resource allocation will improve
the measured performance
Socio-Economic Ranking (S): The common assumption in
literature is that socio-economic ranking may influence on
the dependent variable in some researches as in politics and
government [8] and entrepreneurship [9]. Certain demo-
graphic characteristics, such as the socio-economic ranking
of the region in which the police station acts, are expected to
moderate the effect of PMS replacement on the measured
performance. We therefore assume that:
H3a: Stations that act in regions with different socio-
economic ranking will show difference in the influence
of replacing PMS on the performance
Performance Category (PC): PMS commonly arrange the
performance metrics in clusters. For example, in PMS that
are based on the Balanced Score-Card (BSC) methodology
[10], the measurements are categorized under four key clus-
ters. Such categorization could be detected in the police
PMS as well, and the model assumes that this categorization
will have some effect:
H3b: Different performance categories will show dif-
ferent influence of PMS replacement on performance.
Crime Category (CC): The police typically characterize
different types of crime along different categories. The mod-
el assumes that different crimes category will show different
effect of replacing PMS on performance:
H3c: Different crime categories will influence of PMS
replacement on performance differently.
Police Station (PS): There is a different effect on measures
among different police stations so stations differ from each
other in PMS enhancing. Considering common qualities of
police stations assist to divide them to clusters. Each Cluster
is differ from other in internal and external characters. This
examination helps assessing whether or not performance
measures are effected from internal (HR allocation, socio-
economic ranking) and external (crime records) police sta-
tions characteristics. The assumption is that the influence of
replacement PMS on performance is expected to be different
between different police stations. The model assumes that
different police stations will show different effect of replac-
ing PMS on performance:
H3d: Influence of PMS replacement on performance is
different between different police stations.

3. III. DATA PREPARATION AND PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
The study was based on performance measurements that
were retrieved from the police database, with some addition-
al pieces of data that were retrieved from other sources. The
measurements covered an 8-year period (January 2006 to
December 2013), 146 organizational units (districts, regions,
special units, etc.), and 33 performance metrics - 8 annual
measures, per metric and per unit. The 33 metrics can be
classified to 3 main categories: a) crime records, b) charges,
and c) arrests. Each category includes 11 crimes that could
be divided to exposure offenses versus the rest. Exposure
offenses are crimes with no previous complaint or report;
hence, exposed only by initiated activity. Exposure-based
crimes are considered to be more challenging to handle than
the others; hence, get extended attention by the police. One
of main goals the police has put as a focus in front of her is
increasing the probability of the criminal to be caught in
exposure offences. 3 crimes out of 11 are considered as ex-
posure offenses: weapons, illegal stay and drugs.
Another data resource that was used includes human re-
source allocation for each organizational unit per year. The
datasets also contain socio-economic ranking, which was
calculated as an average for all cities and regional councils’
socio-economic ranking that under the responsibility of a
certain police station. After removing records with missing
or inconsistent values, and keeping only police stations that
have full information of HR allocation and performance
measures over 8-year period- 2006-2013, 60 valid stations
remained, and were included in the analysis. The final da-
taset include one annual record per police station.
Fig. 2 Preliminary Performance Analysis
A preliminary analysis of 3 main categories: criminal cases,
charges and arrests shows an improvement in metrics after
the switch to the new system (2012); however, with some
period of instability during the transition in 2011 (Figure 2).
In addition, the ratio between arrests and crime records has a
positive trend, and the ratio between arrests and charges is
increasing as well over time. Among 15 performance
measures out of 33 (45.45%) there is an increase in perfor-
mance following the switch and among the 33 measures,
only for 2 (6%) transition period (2011) is followed by im-
provement in performance, the rest of measures (94%) are
followed by decline in performance. Furthermore prelimi-
nary analysis shows a positive relationship between HR
(number of police officers in a station) and performance
measures: crime records, arrests and charges. A preliminary
examination shows a strong correlation between crime rec-
ords and arrests especially (Figure 3); however the correla-
tion with charges measure seems to be weaker.

IV. EVALUATION RESULTS
This chapter reviews the analysis results of the model that is
describes in chapter 3.
Testing Hypothesis H1: The Impact of Enhancing Perfor-
mance Measurement Systems
The first hypothesis (H1) suggests that replacing the PMS
will result in significant decline in performance during the
transition period and also significant performance improve-
ment following the replacement; the results support it par-
tially. The datasets that were examined for this hypothesis is
3 year period between 2010 and 2012. In 2010 the former
PMS was active. The transition to the new PMS system be-
gan in 2011. Then, the first version was active, followed by
a year of the actual transition. By 2012, the transition was
over and the new system became live in the organization.
The three derived hypotheses - H1a, H1b, and H1c - were
tested by examining the rate of measures that had a signifi-
4. cant effect (P-Value < 0.05) (Table 1). The H1a assumption
that measures show significant change over time is largely
supported, as for 25 out of 33 measures (75.7%). The H1b
assumption that measures will significantly improve follow-
ing replacement wasn’t supported- 24 out of 33 measures
have no significant improvement (72.7%). However most of
the measures that were improved significantly are included
in the arrests category. The H1c assumption that measures
will significantly decrease during transition is also not fully
supported. 31 measures among 33 had a decline in perfor-
mance during the transition period (93%), however, 10 only
(30%) had a statistical significant decrease.

Hypothesis Significant measures Ratio
H1a 25 75.75%
H1b 9 27.27%
H1c 10 30%
Testing Hypothesis H2: The improvement in performance
will be positively affected by human-resource allocation
H2 suggests that performance will be improved with higher
human-resource allocation. The results support this assump-
tion significantly. A preliminary analysis shows consistent-
ly-high correlation between HR allocation and performance
improvement in three key metrics (Tables 2).

Weapons 1% 22.1% 0%
Illegal stay 11.2% 0% 21.0%
Drugs 48.52% 57.2% 30.30%
A more detailed analysis shows that the extent of improve-
ment varies between performance types. For some measures
(e.g., violence, aggravated attack, regular attack, etc.), the
correlation is significant (P-Value < 0.05), while for others –
“exposure offenses” (e.g., illegal stay, weapons, drugs trade)
it is less significant (P-Value > 0.05). The most significant
difference is between exposure offenses and the others. As
seen in table 2, among the 30 indicators that demonstrated in
3 categories (a table is presented for each category), 7 (70%
of all crime measures) have a significant correlation with HR
allocation in all categories. All 3 exposure measures (30% of
all crime measures) have a low and not significant correla-
tion.
Testing Hypothesis H3a: Station will show difference in the
influence of replacing PMS, based on the socio-economic of
the region under their control.
Hypothesis H3a, suggesting that the impact of replacing the
PMS on performance is moderated by the socio-economic
ranking, is supported in part. A repeated-measures ANOVA
test shows influence of replacing the PMS on performance
measures for the 3 key measures (H1a). The test confirmed
the assumption H1a with high significance (P-Value = ~0).
However significant influence with respect to the interaction
with Socio-Economic Ranking (H3a) could be found among
17 measures out of 33 (~50%). In crime records category,
high significance (P-Value = ~0) interaction was found in 7
out of 10 crimes categories (~70%), however for arrests cat-
egory only among 3 crimes out of 10 (30%) the interaction is
significant and for charges category among 5 out of 10 can
be seen a high significant interaction (50%).This interaction
is found as significant in all categories for crimes like vio-
lence and attack more than other crimes. The main conclu-
sion that derived is that different stations will show differ-
ence in the influence of replacing PMS, based on the socio-
economic characteristics of the region under their control
and crime category.

Testing Hypothesis H3b: The influence of PMS replacement
on performance is will differ between metric categories
The third hypothesis (H3b), is suggesting that the impact of
enhancing PMS on performance will be moderated by per-
formance category. This sub-hypothesis is derive from H1,
which assumes that replacing PMS has an impact on the
performance. This hypothesis (H3b) suggests that replacing
the PMS will result in significant decline in performance
5. during transition period and also significant performance
improvement following the replacement is dependent on
performance category; Results of examination the impact on
performance by considering 3 performance categories are
presented in Table 3.
For most crimes in all 3 categories some significant change
in performance measures could be detected (P-Value <
0.05). For arrests, the ratio of crimes that had a significant
change, is the highest- 90%, and for the other 2 categories
the ratio is 70% which is pretty high as well. Regarding the
increase in performance following the replacement, for both
crime records and charges categories, the ratio is 10%, how-
ever for arrests category- ratio of crimes with significant
improvement is 70%. It seems that there was no significant
decrease in performance in transition period for none of the
category in all crimes. For crime records category, 50% of
crimes had a significant decline in performance, for charges
category 40% and for arrests only 10% from crimes.

Testing Hypothesis H3c: The influence of PMS replacement
on performance will be differ between crimes categories.
The third hypothesis (H3c), is suggesting that the impact of
enhancing PMS on performance will be moderated by the
crime category. This sub-hypothesis is derive from H1 as
well. This hypothesis (H3c) suggests that replacing the PMS
will result in significant decline in performance during tran-
sition period and also significant performance improvement
following the replacement, dependent on crime category;
examination results of the impact on performance by consid-
ering 11 crime categories show that for sex and aggravated
attack crimes there is no significant change in performance
in none of the categories (Table 4). Also, for illegal stay –
crime records category and for drugs charges, the change in
performance is no significant; however for rest of crimes
(80%) the change is significant in all categories for 6 crimes
and for the rest 2, is significant in 2 categories out of 3.
None of the above crimes has a significant improvement or a
significant decline in all categories (Table 4).
Testing Hypothesis H3d: Influence of PMS replacement on
performance is different between different police stations.
The third hypothesis (H3d), is suggesting that the impact of
enhancing PMS on performance will be moderated by the
police station. This sub-hypothesis is suggesting that the
influence of replacing PMS is differ from one station to oth-
er. In order to test this assumption, all 57 police stations
were divided to 6 clusters. One cluster included all “non-
jewish” police stations and the rest of 45 police stations were
classified to 5 clusters by k- medoids algorithm. This classi-
fication shows a partial support to the assumption; for sex
crimes and illegal stay- charges and arrests categories there
is a significant interaction with clustering (Table 5). Also,
for aggravated attack crimes –charges, the interaction is sig-
nificant. Cluster analysis was made according to measures:
HR allocation, socio-economic ranking, and criminal charg-
es in crimes: regular violence, aggravated violence, aggra-
vated attack and property. After a cluster analysis was done,
results of repeated measures ANOVA show that the only
crime category with significant interaction is criminal charg-
es. However this result is obvious since the cluster analysis
is based on criminal charges measures, as mentioned above.
Moreover it is clear (Table 5) that for some measures as sex
and illegal stay in arrests and charges categories and also in
aggravated attack charges, the influence on performance
measures is dependent on the cluster attribute.

Following repeated measures ANOVA, determining direc-
tionality of measures is defined as next step. Tukey HSD test
was done in order to determine what police stations clusters
achieved better performance in each year and who improved
over time. Results of Tukey HSD test for illegal stay arrests
measure show that cluster 2 is in total better than clusters 3
and 4; police stations that relate to cluster 2 perform better
than those that relate to clusters 3 or 4. In addition, the per-
6. formance is higher in 2012 than in 2010.
Results of Tukey HSD test for illegal stay charges measure
show that cluster 1 is in total better than clusters 4 and 5, so
the number of illegal stay charges is higher in stations from
cluster 1 than clusters 4 or 5. For conclude illegal stay
crimes, one can say that there is significant difference be-
tween police stations that relate to different clusters in per-
formance. Regarding sex arrests measure, cluster 1 is seen to
be better than 4 and 5 in 2010-2012. Moreover, cluster 2 is
better than 3,4 and 5 and 3 is better than 4 and 5. Police sta-
tions that related to cluster 3 improved in sex arrests meas-
ure significantly over time. Regarding sex charges measure,
the results show that clusters 1 and 2 have higher perfor-
mance than 3, 4 and 5. Moreover cluster 3 is better than 5
and also than 4 in 2011-2012. In sex charges, as in sex ar-
rests, cluster 3 has improved in 2012. These results support
the assumption that influence of PMS replacement on per-
formance is different between different police stations how-
ever it’s significant with dependent on crime category.

V.DISCUSSION
This paper had discussed the implementation and enhancing
of a PMS in the Israeli public sector organization.
The literature and case data presented clearly shows first, the
importance of updating and enhancing performance meas-
urement systems in organizations so that they change over
time, and second the factors that affect the performance
measures as a result of enhancing process. There is not a
significant evidence in the literature to enhancing PMS pro-
cess in organizations, and in particular not in the public sec-
tor. This paper discusses many of these issues in the context
of case study data in Israeli police relating to performance
measurement systems evolution. A considerable amount has
been written about design and implementation of perfor-
mance measurement systems in organizations. Moreover one
can find many researches about performance measures
methodologies, success and failure factors and PMS devel-
opment over time; however, there is a little discussion in the
literature of what are the influences of enhancing PMS, and
in the public sector even less. Israeli police data show clearly
that enhancing PMS may have a strong impact on perfor-
mance- some decline during transition period and improve-
ment after it.
It is also clear that for performance measurement systems to
enhance effectively there are factors that an organization
must consider as internal characteristics of organizational
units and measures categories. Reviewing these factors is an
important stage in management enhancing PMS process in
organizations. This research provides a view of the factors
that may influence a process of enhancing a PMS and the
impact of that.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
This research examined the impact of enhancing PMS and
factors that are possibly involved in that impact. The study
shows that, generally, there is a significant change in per-
formance in most of crimes’ categories following enhancing
PMS. The only crimes’ categories that weren’t affected from
PMS enhancing are sex, aggravated violence, drugs trade
charges and illegal stay records. The study shows that the
improvement in performance following the change is mostly
expressed in crimes from arrests category (an output meas-
ure): violence, attack, and illegal stay. Furthermore, for most
of crime categories a decrease in performance during transi-
tion period was seen, however it’s statistical significant only
for 30% of measures. For violence and aggravated attack
crimes there is a significant decrease in performance for
arrests and charges, for drugs trade there is a significant de-
crease in crime records and arrests. In addition, it confirmed
that performance will be improved with higher human-
resource allocation in most crimes categories, except from
exposure crimes; main conclusion for the police is that no
matter how resource allocation is high, the impact on per-
formance wasn’t significant. We can conclude that without
any consideration in size of human-resource in a police sta-
tion, its performance in dealing with crimes like illegal stay,
drugs trade and weapons remains the same. Police officers
can learn from this study that
The quantity of the police force staff in a police station will
not dramatically improve the quality of those measures, so
the focus should be on the quality of HR and less the quanti-
7. ty. Moreover, as suggested previously, the socio-economic
ranking is shown to have a strong moderating effect on per-
formance in crime records category, however for output
measures as charges and arrests, it seems that changes in
performance are not affected by socio-economic ranking.
The baseline assumption that a PMS system and, in particu-
lar, a BI-supported one has an influence on organizational
change and improvement in performance has been con-
firmed. However, it’s forbidden to neglect the negative in-
cline in performance during the transition period that pre-
ceded the improvement.
VII. FUTURE RESEARCH
The literature claims that there is a need to a right manage-
ment of performance measurement systems in both public
and non-public sectors. Many researches are focusing on
developing methodologies and reviewing the literature on
PMS, however little empirical research has been carried out
to assess their influence on performance measures, especial-
ly in the public sector. In order to better understand perfor-
mance measurement in general and in the public sector in
particular, this study can be extended in a few possible direc-
tions.
Some limitations are ought to be further addresses and ex-
plored since the study explores only a limited number of
moderator variables that can influence the effect of replacing
a PMS. Studies focusing on the following research questions
would be of interest.
Are the moderate variables that were analysed are the
only main ones that can influence performance or other
variables need to be considered?
Is enhancing PMS improves performance over long
period? How performance is influenced in the long
term?
Are other public organizations show same behaviour as
the Israeli police? Is the influence of enhancing PMS is
specific to this case study or common in other organiza-
tions as well?
Is the influence on performance measures is the same on
other measures that weren’t included in this research but
are part of the PMS?
To answer most of these research questions, additional aca-
demic and empirical research are required.
