systems, difficulties in determining the performance metrics, management commitment, decision-making authority, and training do not have relationship with the development of
performance measurement systems. The limited information systems, difficulties in determining the performance metrics and training do not have relationship with the performance
accountability, but management commitment, decision-making authority, organization culture, and resources have relationship with the performance accountability. The difficulties in determining the performance metrics, decision-making authority, organization culture, and resources have relationship with the use of performance information, whereas the limited information systems, management commitment, and training do not have relationship with the use of performance information.
