Description
Summary:The study reported here was performed to develop the Productivity Measurement System (PMS), a method for measuring the productivity of State employment service agencies (SESA) that utilize other productivity measures besides placements, which is the measure used in the current system, Research Allocation Formula (RAF). Chapter 1 covers the purpose and background of the study and organization of the report. Chapter 2 presents an overview of PMS and discusses the structure of the PMS model, input and output measures, weighting and aggregating model components, and model implementation and application considerations. Chapter 3 discusses input measures and includes classification of input measures, data sources, and allocation of managerial and administrative functions. Chapter 4 discusses the system's output measures and includes the definition and classification of the measures, data sources, and the process for assigning values to outputs. Chapter 5 explains the framework for model component aggregation and weighting. Chapter 6 contains a demonstration of PMS based on the results of pilot studies and describes the structure of SESA services; applicant, employer, and agency data; and the methodology for model operation. Chapter 7 discusses requirements for implementing PMS as an ongoing system. An extensive appendix contains supplemental data source information and the pilot study design. (EM)
