Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the theories that derive self-interest based evaluators in the benchmarking of public administration, and to review the functional capability of benchmarking in the evaluation of public administration.
As a result, it was found that the collaboration of self-interest based evaluators in the evaluation of public administration was significant to acceleration and coordination from the viewpoint of the evaluation purpose and propensity. Moreover, it was recognized that threats to the evaluation implementation existed. This was caused by the head of the administration for the evaluation of public administration's ownership, which impeded the functions of the collaboration. Finally, the possibility of eliminating the threats to the evaluation and enhancing the utilization of benchmarking in public administration are considered.
