Abstract

In the article the major stages in the implementation of effectiveness performance of executive government bodies in Russian Federation are presented during the period 2004-2019. It is demonstrated that the new system of evaluation criteria has been developed alongside two key directions. The first one is connected with the increase of significance of sociological indicators, reflecting the estimates by the region population the performance of executive government, dealing with a broad spectrum of issues. The second perspective of the development presupposes the use of the system of indicators, which enable us to evaluate the effectiveness of performance of separate power holders. Introduction of the system of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in 2019 contributed to the integration of the above mentioned directions in the development of methodic of effectiveness evaluation of power bodies’s performance and management. The practice of implementation of key performance indicators in Russia, its first experience and limitations are under consideration. In particular, in spite of the significance of sociological criterion, that has been included in the system of evaluation, its particular methodic of calculation is not confirmed. This limitation obstructs the very usage of this methodic, contributes to the politization of the results of its implementation. The conclusion is made that the content of the introduced in different times methodics and indicators deals with the current demands of central power bodies and the state in general. The process of perfection of the evaluation system of executive power’s effectiveness of regions in Russia is not finished and is in the process of its further consideration.
