EFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR

Organizacije javnega sektorja se po vsem svetu srečujejo z zahtevo po učinkovitejšem in kvalitetnejšem javnem sektorju, zato si dandanes težko predstavljamo sodobno državo, ki tem zahtevam ne bi sledila oziroma k njim ne bi stremela. Učinkovit in uspešen javni sektor držav ima veliko pozitivnih učinkov, ki se kažejo predvsem v gospodarstvu, rasti, razvoju in zadovoljstvu državljanov. V zasebnem sektorju pa je konkurenca zelo močna, zato morajo podjetja vedeti, v katero smer in kako izboljšati svoje delovanje, da si pridobijo dovolj virov in zagotovijo dolgoročen obstoj. V delu diplomskega seminarja smo iz teoretičnega vidika opredelili javni in zasebni sektor, njune naloge in splošne definicije. Ugotovili smo, da je učinkovitost v javnem sektorju težje oceniti kakor učinkovitost v zasebnem sektorju. Medtem, ko ima zasebni sektor jasna merila za spremljanje uspešnosti in učinkovitosti, je tekmovalnost v javnem sektorju manj izrazita.Public sector organizations all over the world are facing requirements for more efficiency and high quality public sector. Nowadays we can hardly imagine a modern country, which wouldn’t strive for continuous improvements. Sufficient and successful public sector has lots of positive effects, which can be reflected in economy, growth, development and well-being of citizens. Private sector has substantially higher competition, every company has to know in which direction and how to improve their service to gain enough sources and secure long-term existence. The thesis deals with theoretical issues of public and private sector, their tasks and general definitions. We found out that it is more difficult to measure efficiency in the public sector compared to the private sector. While private sector has clear measures for prosperity and efficiency, competitiveness in public sector is less distinct
