Abstract
This article examines the institutionalization of government effectiveness in the context of public sector reforms, drawing on comparative evidence from OECD countries with focused cases from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. Using institutional and comparative analysis, the study identifies transferable governance principles, coordination mechanisms, and digital enablers, while highlighting key risks of performance management. The findings offer analytically grounded insights for adapting international experience to national reform contexts.
