The paper's focus lies in the reception of management ideas and concepts by public sector executives within this special national context and differences between federal and state administration. Design/methodology/approach - Presents results of a recent questionnaire-based executive survey (sample size: 385). Apart from non-parametric correlation analyses, investigates level differences (federal vs state) by using an independent samples Mann-Whitney U rank sum test. Findings - Highlights the importance of the national institutional background for understanding public management changes. Finds considerable support for reform initiatives despite some scepticism and resistance towards management knowledge and instruments. Results confirm that executives in a legalistic Rechtsstaat system are not per se opposed to management-driven reforms. Regarding the reception of public management reforms, at various government levels, differences between federal and state level are less pronounced than expected. Originality/value - Addresses the lack of empirical research regarding the reception of management ideas in legalistic Rechtsstaat systems by presenting data from a country which has hardly been covered by international public management literature so far.

Based on deepening insights and practical experiences, the study intends to: - make available up-to-date information on experiences across European public administrations; - identify the main leadership challenges in successfully conducting individual assessments and linking them to organisational performance; - present and discuss good practices in the field; - provide practical guidance, by identifying the factors that will assist organisations in the design, implementation and revaluation of their systems in order to make performance assessments run more smoothly and contribute to improved organisational performance. Another purpose of this comparative study is to present more empirical evidence on the relationship between the assessment of individual and organisational performance. What are the criteria used? What is the relationship between organisational performance and individual performance? How can organisational and individual performance be measured? What are the main challenges in measuring organisational performance and individual performance?
