- W312996239 abstract "This thesis presents the findings and conclusions of research that was undertakenwith the purpose of exploring the issues (or factors) that typically influence thesuccessful, or unsuccessful, implementation of public policy initiatives in Malta.The research, which followed an inductive enquiry and a case study approach, wasundertaken in three sequential and progressive steps (or ‘projects’). The objectiveof Projects 1 and 2 was to elicit the factors that are typically considered to influencefailure and success in the implementation of policy initiatives in Malta. While Project1 focused on a case study of failure, Project 2 considered a case study of successfulpolicy implementation1. Both studies were based upon data collected throughdocumentary research (172 records)2 and in-depth interviews (17)3 that were heldwith the key persons involved in the implementation of the policies under review.Twenty-six (26) factors of failure and twenty-one (21) factors of success wereidentified through the application of cognitive (causal) mapping techniques (Eden,Ackermann et al., 1992) and the general principles of data codification proposed byStrauss and Corbin (1998). Using a survey of 136 persons4, Project 3 thenestablished which of the factors elicited from the first two projects were generallyconsidered to be critical for policy implementation in Malta. Focusing on theseresults, a number of propositions were then drawn with the objective ofrecommending measures that would improve the likelihood of successful policyimplementation.The research concludes that the decisive factors influencing the successful orunsuccessful outcome of policy implementation in Malta are a function of the typeand degree of commitment and leadership that are shown to a policy initiative. Theresearch further suggests that success can be improved if the approach to themanagement of policies is based on the application of the principles of projectmanagement. The research makes a number of contributions to both theory andpractice. Most notably, it proposes two conceptual models for framing andrepresenting success and failure in policy implementation; it ascribes meaning to anumber of cliched concepts, particularly that of ‘(policy) commitment’; it identifieseight dimensions or requisites for effective (public sector) leadership; and itsuggests a tool for guiding the selection of policy implementation leaders." @default.
