    Public value research was initiated more than 20 years ago (Moore 1995). It resonated around the globe and has been labeled “the next big thing” (Talbot 2008). However, the integration of public value measures into existing schemes of performances measurement (controlling data) is still lacking. This study provides a link between public value data and controlling data. For the first time, this relationship is explored empirically. Based on data from Germany’s Federal Labor Agency (FLA) and interviews with employers in 2012 and 2014, the authors find significant expected and unexpected relationships between public value and controlling data. Expected positive relationships exist between the absolute data on public value and controlling data, an unexpected inverted U-shape relationship manifests itself for the relative change in the controlling data. There is no significant correlation between the public value creation at both points in time. Furthermore, public value assessments seem to predict employers’ attitudes towards the FLA. The article discusses how to further integrate public value data in performance management in the public sector.

    Public administrations are required by law to contribute to society, thus obliged to shape the common good. What value they have to society is uncovered by their public value. This chapter provides an approach to public value management that is relevant for organizations, NGOs, and governmental institutions, in order to systematically investigate their contributions to society. Previous work on public value serves as a good starting point, providing significant public value perspectives. We follow this by a conceptual delineation of the public value concept according to Timo Meynhardt, who roots the notion of value in psychological needs theory and thereby links public value directly to a conditio humana. As cases in point, we identify and discuss two management tools, the Public Value Scorecard (PVSC) and the Public Value Atlas. We conclude with a short reflection on how public value can advance public sector management.
