Outline of Final Research Achievements

As the New Public Management (NPM)　is widely implemented in the local and central governments, some municipal offices have adopted a Performance Evaluation System for its officials. This article focuses on the concepts of task interdependence and outcome interdependence such as mid-organization factors.

(b)Furthermore, based on department group level, high task interdependence through outcome interdependence in each department is positively related to interpersonal facilitation in the workplace.
