Abstract

Our thesis focuses on Performance within the public administration: case of the National Assembly of Burkina Faso.
The search for improving the performance of public administration is omnipresent in all political debates and strategies. An efficient administration is one that correctly fulfils its sovereign missions and faces new requirements in terms of public performance: that is to say, which provides concrete and adapted answers to social and economic development issues and to the needs of citizens in a context of insufficient financial resources with regard to the case of Burkina Faso.
The objective of this research is to make an inventory of performance in the public service in general and within the parliamentary public service in particular, in order to identify prospects allowing to improve its management plan and to infuse more dynamism and efficiency within it.
From a qualitative approach and a sustained literature review, a representative sample was defined. This made it possible to collect data. Information obtained from the field survey permitted to get a general understanding of the administration’s human resources management policy, its performance, as well as its managerial difficulties and constraints.
The legal and rigid managerial logic which offers only very little leeway to the leader was presented by the interviewees involved in this research as a major obstacle to the performance of the administration.
Based on the guidelines provided by the various stakeholders and the literature review, we made some recommendations.
