Abstract
The paper deliberates upon the issue of performance management in the specific context of civil
service of Pakistan It evaluates the existing system of Performance Evaluation in view of the
New Public Management (NPM) reform initiated during the late 1970s (Daley, 1993) across
countries including Pakistan. The study adopts a qualitative approach to draw findings. It reveals
that performance management system of the Civil Service of Pakistan at both Federal and
Provincial level has certain strengths including; thoroughness, comprehensiveness, disciplined
tool for promotion and accountability etc. However, the system also suffers from political
meddling, extraneous factors, lack of quantification and standardization that hinder the effective
functioning of the system. The paper suggests useful policy recommendations and reform
measures towards improving the system in this direction.
