Abstract
Since the 1980s, the modes of governance of public sectors have undergone substantial changes in most of the Western European countries (e.g. Van Kersbergen & Van Waarden, 2004; de Boer et al., 2010). These public sector wide changes were in many cases inspired and driven by the principles of ‘New Public Management’ (NPM) that can be viewed as one of the global models of world society (Pollitt, 1990).
