Abstract

Purpose: The agility of the employee performance management system alone is not enough and government organizations must respond to the problems on their way by using strategic ways. In this regard, the present research, in order to implement the agile system of strategic management of employees' performance, explains the obstacles and limitations on the way of this system.

Design/ methodology/ approach: The current research is a part of applied and mixed research. The statistical population of the research was senior managers of government organizations who were interviewed with 5 groups of experts and a total of 18 people, which continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. In order to collect data, interviews were used in the qualitative part and a researcher-made questionnaire was used in the quantitative part. Also, the required items were collected from this statistical population in a special way (18 people) using standard questionnaires. The qualitative part of this research, relying on critical systems, which is one of the categories of research in liberating operations, fundamentally examined and identified the system from the perspective of different stakeholders, and after identifying the existing secrets, in parts of this research. Quantitatively, this structure has been leveled and their relationships have been determined by examining the interpretive structure.

Research Findings: The research findings identified 11 obstacles and the results of this research show that the existence of conflict in the rules and, as a result, the separation of informal groups in the system are the most fundamental factors that prevent the growth of this system.

Limitations & Consequences: This research was conducted in the public sector and with special cases related to this sector, and the results may face limitations in other sectors.
