Beyond the role of public sector as driver of innovation in the economy,
for the time being, we witness the necessity of boosting innovation in the public
sector itself, in view to improve productivity, efficiency, as well as to enhance the
creation of public value.
The new concept concerning the capacity for innovation of public administration
reflects the synergy between the traditional instruments of administrative
innovation (planning, strategy etc.) and the modern ones (ICT, e-governance,
knowledge management in public administration).
The current paper is accomplishing an empirical analysis through operationalization
of a conceptual model on the capacity for innovation of public
administration. Thus, the paper analyses e-Governance, ICT and knowledge
management in the Romanian Prefect institutions by identification, analysis and
evaluation of the factors contributing to the improvement of public service quality,
effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and citizen participation, strengthening trust
and legality
