Tóm tắt

This study aimed to assist the Taiwanese government in evaluating the effectiveness of risk management policies. A total of 74 assessment items on the risk management of public administration were selected from relevant studies and self-assessment questionnaires were distributed to agencies under the Executive Yuan in Taiwan. The data provided by experts from these agencies were analyzed using the focus group method. The findings can serve as effective assessment criteria for the government to ensure risk management implementation and to monitor the effectiveness of public administration.
