Abstract

This study investigated the management performance evaluation of four port Authorities in South Korea including Pusan Port Authority, Incheon Port Authority, Ulsan port Authority, Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority. In order to fullfil study aim, this paper attempted to measure the relation between characteristics of Korean ports and its performance evaluation. In particular, this research aims to examine the KPI management system and the results of evaluation during three years from 2009 to 2011. Moreover, external factors which effect on management evaluation are analyzed by using statistics tools.

Korean port Authorities have been evaluated by two sectors of management performance evaluation. One sector is based on overall management evaluation such as strategic leadership, management efficiency. This type of evaluation is commonly applied to public companies. At the same time, port public companies are measured by another sector as well. This category includes cargo throughput, port management and operation, port construction and maintenance, port logistics system, port development plans.

There are several findings related to this. Korean port authorities achieved relatively lower scores compared with other public companies of criteria Ⅱ in evaluation due to difference in business type. In addition, most port authorities have relatively short history in establishment and small scale in business. So, port authorities have difficulty in dealing with the government performance evaluation.

In particular, the results of statistical analysis which uses correlation analysis, regression analysis, and analysis of variance as follows. The factors such as the asset, the number of people, the scale affect total score, the rate of statistical evaluation score, the rate of non-statistical evaluation score in some way.

From this point of view, this research suggests improvement plans such as modificaiton of evaluation period, rearrangement of evaluation categories. These solutions can reduce pressures on dealing with government performance evaluation and continually improve outputs. In addition, port authorities need to develop and manage its own performance indicatiors which can gain competitive edge in business not only in Korea but also worldwide.
