Key Question(s)
• Why workers and supervisor in the same office do not change their ways
to improve meetings and filing.
• What then accounts for the unproductive meetings and poor filing
practices perpetuated by these officers?

Empirical Specification
Y* is a single latent variable which is unobserved
𝒀𝒊∗ = 𝑿𝒊′ 𝜷 + 𝝁𝒊 … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … . 𝟏
Y* is known only when it crosses the thresholds of the selection of workers feelings. In the case,
there is a latent continuous variable which is from 1 to 5 groups with 4 thresholds. These thresholds
are basically cut off points between the five categories and are denoted by ∝. this can be
expressed as follows in ordered probit model:
𝑌𝑖 = 𝑗 𝑖𝑓 ∝𝑗 −1 < 𝑌 ∗ ≤∝𝑗 such that:
𝑌 = 1 or perception 1 if 𝑌 ∗ ≤ 1.................................................... (2)
𝑌 = 2 or perception 2 if 𝑢1 < 𝑌 ∗ ≤ 𝑢1 ......................................... (3)
𝑌 = 3 or perception 3 if 𝑢2 < 𝑌 ∗ ≤ 𝑢2 ....................................... (4)
𝑌 = 4 or perception 4 if 𝑢3 < 𝑌 ∗ ≤ 𝑢3 .......................................... (5)

Summary
• Hypotheses are mostly supported that:
• These findings suggest that, delays in meeting starting time in the
government offices in Tanzania are associated with office
communication practices, leadership, workers punctuality
behavior, and working environment, such as office layout.

Summary
• While filings may be similar to the Prisoners’ Dilemma, most of the
correlates of coordination failure seems to associate with filing
situation
33
Outline
• Chapter 1: Introduction
• Conclusion
34
Conclusions
• Most studies on public sector capability focus on public service providers.
• Thus studies on policy making are missing and policy to improve public
sectors tend to be abstract.
35
Policy Implication
• Existing policies for the public sector capability particularly in central
government are based on the abstract view about the nature and
sources of inefficiencies.
36
Summary
Effective public sector matters but is incapable many developing countries.
