Result Based Management (RBM) is a widely used management approach in
international development agencies. During the last two decades, there have been
growing concerns regarding the rigidity of this approach; and both the scholars and
practitioners have been calling for an alternate complexity aware adaptive approach.
However, there remains a lack of empirical evidence to support this criticism. The
objective of this study is to contribute towards this end by undertaking an empirical
evaluation of the efficacy of the RBM approach and assessing the need for a flexible and
adaptive approach. Since the tool to measure the implementation of RBM is not
available, we at first developed and validated a tool for measuring the implementation of
RBM. Subsequently, by collecting data from 206 middle and senior levels employees of
development agencies, the relationship between RBM and the ability of agencies to adapt
has been tested. The validity of the instrument was established through exploratory factor
analysis and hypotheses were tested by regression analysis. The findings showed that
RBM negatively affects the adaptability of development agencies and hence calls for
developing an alternate flexible and adaptive approach hold merit.
